Re-post 1995 Lincoln DDO-002

Here's some new images and a nice early Die State, as usually for me .
How did ANACS grade this coin RB MS-62, that's crazy and it should grade at least RD MS-64, or 65 .
The only image I didn't take is the Date, waste of time to me .
Here's the link to Coneca .

    ANACS has become irrelevant, which is upsetting for most variety guys as they will attribute ANYTHING.
    The only problem is that they cannot grade Lincoln cents to save one's life. With this particular coin, though, I am not seeing a full red GEM. I'm seeing chatter above liberty and some hits on the reverse in the memorial and most notably below E PLURIBUS UNUM. I am also seeing a fingerprint the covers the entire western hemisphere of the obverse. Is that on the coin?
    Perhaps that is why they say 62 instead of what I would call this...63RD or RB.

    I don't see why there is any interest in these minor DDO, DDR's.

    There's no finger prints on the coin, it's just from being in the air, before it was put in it's casket . That's about it . This one is an earlier die state, then Coneca stage A ( stage At ) Lol ..

    I dunno. Air doesnt leave prints, dude.

    It's actually not that minor, Bob. If you see some nice photos of this variety, I think you'll agree that it is significant. I was quite surprised it was not given a CPG number this time around.
