ERROR: Hate it when you get excited about an obverse and then flip the coin to see massive PMD?!??

I got a book of IKEs and pulled out a nice 76 and carefully looked over the obverse and got quite excited. I flipped over the reverse and was really more excited until i got to the 6 o'clock position. HUGE bummer! Any thoughts as to what happened with this? Tractor ran over it?

    Looks like some kind of strike through. Piece of string or something of the like?

    And something else over at 7:00 on the rim, maybe similar source.

    I did think MAYBE it was a strike through, but I know nothing about them, so I figured I would ask you guys without throwing that out there as an assumption.

    It appears to be a strike through. I know most collectors don't care for strike throughs, but it's much better than PMD.

    but there is some kind of market for these right? Am I too optimistic?

    This looks like a strike through to me also and it is visible to the naked eye which adds a bit of value. Change your title to strike through ERROR to get more people in the know to look at this coin.

    Nice coin- Looks like a strike through in more than a single area. I suspect it is something NGC should have referenced on their label. Did it get a details grade?

    BTW, this date does come nice and there are even PL examples

    ALSO, I have a 76 D T2 that is so darn PL, but NGC didn't see fit. Maybe I'll resubmit one of these days.

    Here is the Link to my PL that I posted a while back

    I would also like to add: Could you take a better look at the letters around the strike through and see if they are doubled, it could just be the lighting?

    Sorry I missed the earlier post. That coin is a 1976-D type one. You can go to the Ike Group forum and share that one with them to get their thoughts. My recollection is that the PL is far more common with the type 2- And finding a nice type 1 is problematic- how did that one grade?

    Looks like it's struck thru a detached pc.

    My mistake, it was a T1. it was originally in the wrong space when I got the "book" as it was marked T2.
    It graded MS65 as I recall. meh.
    I took it to the Long Beach Expo before walking it over to NGC. and about 5-7 dealers weighted in on its shot at a PL designation. Every single one said it had a really good shot(maybe they were being nice) but 2 dealers offered to buy it from me. Probably should've sold it.

    Uh, it's a type two, not a type one. And it's not graded... >>



    My assumption was that they were referencing the link to my possible PL IKE from last year. I said it was a T2, when it was a T1

    ...nice, and now that you say that it almost looks like the detached piece of reeding came from that same coin...it looks like a puzzle piece that fits image

    Fred, what are the other voids around "ONE"?

    Absolutely. Sort of like disappointment from the blind date that looks good from a distance but in the light its Frankensteins sister.

    If an coin or banknote auction does not have the picture of both the front and back I will not buy or bid on it. The seller left the photo of the other side off for some reason.

    The area around "ONE' appears to be struck-thru too -
    Probably not connected to the detached reeding area
    Except in that it was other debris that was struck- thru
    At the same time.

    Thanks for the inputs Fred... I had not thought of detached reeding... excellent analysis. Cheers, RickO
