If it was a 66 wavy every auction house would call it CHU, so that's a starting point. What's that on the Sheldon scale MS64-65?

At first glance the top loop of the 2 appeared to have some chatter going on which prompted me to have a look at one from a mint set. It has the same markings, courtesy of the die I reckon?

I opened a roll of these and even the "Enders" look rather nice.
I will pick out 3-4 of the best and get them graded.
All of them look better than the Mint set example I had in my collection :)

I sent 10 of these away to be graded.
6x MS66 4x MS67, The rest of the roll are probably MS66-65 :)
Quite a nice roll of coins for $50 delivered :good:

I can't see the point of sending a common coin to get slabbed for over $30 a hit

A 1977 20c in MS67 is NOT a common coin, even at MS66 they would probably be a better quality coin than most people would have in their collection :ok:
I was actually trying for a MS68 grade but my coins didn't make it :cray:
