Post a coin with a perfect date strike

I won't hold my breath waiting for these images.

I defer to the one and only IH cent with the most perfect squared off date strike of all time.

The Epstein 1899 PCGS MS68RD.
Even in this blown up Heritage image you see the perfectly chiseled date strike,
and understand why this is the ultimate IH high grade.

    This one at half bad, but perfection is very hard to find:

    Don't know that this is perfect, but it's pretty dang good for 1798!

    I think this one has a pretty darn good strike, for the year and mintimage

    Also, this one is pretty good for a 27-Dimage

    I like this one- NGC 65...a little weak in the stars on the left, but look at that corn! I think it's hammered otherwise! Everything (date included) just floats on those fields!
