    1? Hard to imagine how an Ike got so low.

    Ah yes, the alien-head "BER" variety.

    I'll go PO1. Why not? Any worse and the date wouldn't be readable. However, it could be graded as a 2 as you're competing with the the '76 Ike and that one wouldn't need a readable date.

    1. And even though grading isn't a science, if I’m more than 3 points off on this one, I’ll be very upset with myself.😬😉

    That light bulb looks like a f02 to me, but then that's just a SWAG

    The seldom seen Uncle Fester variety... But does it have the Gomez pedigree?

    Seriously... FR2

    It’s ironic - people do things to coins in order to get them to grade higher AND lower. Should an artificially worn coin be distinguished from a naturally worn one? If so, why?

    Interesting how they put a split grade on there

    I would have called it PO-1.

    I was just going to guess that!

    Good to know PCGS is on top of this, especially after seeing that AG3 Roosevelt dime.

    I knew that was artificial wear,,,, didn't think to call it that. :o

    How is that "fine" details?

  • leothelyonleothelyon Posts: 8,501 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Definitely not a pig in a poke but thr "R" is missing.

    The more qualities observed in a coin, the more desirable that coin becomes!

    “Fair” details, but “F” mistakenly used instead of “FR”?

    That would make so much more sense to me.

    Darn.....I thought you had a winner.
    If they were raw, and the seller had two, I would be a little suspicious.
