Here's an interesting Eisenhower Dollar error...

Here it is...

1976 1$

I wonder how they came up with "MS60" for this one.

    Look at the condition of that planchet. Copper nickel clad is very difficult to strike
    and many of those marks would have remained even on a very strong strike.

    It's a wonder any of these coins are high grade.

  • The coin was probably found in a mint bag and never circulated. The black planchet is considerablely bag marked as one would expect, all that banging around against other blanks and other dollars in a bag. But if the mint luster is fully intact then there would be no other grade to call it the lowest possible mint state grade, ie MS60.

    Andy pegged it!!!

    These should be thought of as UNC.

    The quesiton I have is why a Die Adjustment Strike vs Blank Planchet (Type II)?

    how'd they get ms60? Easy, no apparent rub on any of the higher elements of the coins design, but some serious back marks!image
