Coinbuf Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 The simple answer is a lot. There is no formula so I cannot say exactly how many points would be deducted for those spots but my guess is the ceiling for this coin is MS65 at best. As a Lincoln cent collector myself they are a negative eye appeal and as a buyer I would never buy such a coin regardless of the grade on the holder 124Spider 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
