Ike population question

Hello everyone

I do not have access to population reports but If I remember correctly is there not a year (1977?) not sure of year but because of what they call chicken scratch marks on the planchet the highest grade is not over a 61 or 62. Does anyne have any info on this for me.

Thanks

I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom I provide, then question the manner in which I provide it. I prefer you said thank you, and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon, and stand to post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to!

    ALL Ike Dollars have at least an MS66 grade within the PCGS Pops.

    Join the PCGS Registry Cliff. All the pops you need will be recorded in your registry set using the what if function. The PCGS Set Regisry is totally free. All you really need is a PCGS graded IKE.
    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.



    The name is LEE!

    A few of the Ikes are notorious for chicken scratches. The '71 is one though apparently
    a small percentage are OK and a few are choice or gem. The '76-D type I is worst and it
    affects virtually all of them with a very few which are barely affected at all. The '77-D is
    a worse one but not especially bad.

    This defect is pretty common on most dates.
