    Silver1985 said 54 steps, not me.

      I'm really encouraged by the fact that a coin with so many plating bubbles can be graded as a MS68 and MS67.

      Since a coin is graded mostly by the worst side, I would love to see an image of the best sides!

      Especially the MS68, .... to see if the Memorial really does have 54 steps!
      You never answered my question.. you say: and one of them is the one of the two rarest of the set! What is the other one in your opinion?

        I'm using this data to move forward with managing my pile. Hopefully I'll find a few more old piggy banks in other parts of the country, and work on the horse even more.
        The least and "rarest" in my set of 1542, 1982's, was the 82-P SD copper (12), and the 82-D LD Zinc (20).



        BadThad: "Where did you find 54 steps?"

        silver1985: "I was curious about how many steps the Lincoln Memorial really has when we were discussing "COMPLETE and FULL STEPS", so I think I found this information on the Internet. I just checked again and found my memory is slipping. And I think the 19 step design is the perfect compromise!


        Wikipedia:
        How many steps are there?
        There are 58 steps from the chamber to the plaza level, and 87 steps from the chamber to the reflecting pool.

          The amount of attention this post is getting is embarrassing.

            I agree. I was just thinking the same thing. I'm outta here!
