Hey Kennedy Guys, here is an interesting one for you!

One of my dealers saved this for me, he pulled it from a OBW roll.

    How would you grade a coin like that? It's the same with blank planchets...

    PCGS graded a blank planchet.

    I can't tell from the picture whether it's a low-pressure strike or a "grease strike". Presuming that it is a low-pressure strike, there's no obvious reason to conclude it's a "die adjustment strike". There are innumerable potential causes for a low-pressure strike, many involving spontaneous equipment malfunction. See the most recent issue of Coin World (Collector's Clearinghouse, 9/11/06) for a brief tutorial.

    The best way to tell the difference on a coin like this is the reeding, on a grease strike it will be full while on a weak strike it will be very weak (just like the rest of the details). Unfortunately, once the coin is in a slab there's no way to examine the edge.

    Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.

    The patchy clarity of the peripheral letters is more consistent with a grease strike, but this is not always a reliable diagnostic.
