I expect to have another LA(p) in PCGS-MS69 on display at Long Beach (Table 651). They are a real challenge to locate this nice and the grading team at PCGS, overall, does a sensational job at CONSISTENTLY grading these coins.
No question, for most collectors, an MS68 LA coin will suffice, especially a "PQ" example, which I am always happy to "cherry-pick" for a board member. But, for those few collectors that desire the very finest example known, a coin like the one Mark obtained is very special indeed Wondercoin

oh that answers my question...see all those teenie lines radiateing out from the center in a sunburst pattern?...i was wondering if they are acceptable cause my ms68 ohio is...now i wouldve thought those would bag a coin...
Those marks are just "as made" die flow, I think. (C'est vrai?) That doesn't disturb me in a circ strike.

I was just thinking the same thing. We're so used to mediocrity with these a really nice example really stands out. Very nice coin indeed!
