It has pretty good detail for a 1969-P, but will that mark on the "R" keep it from grading?

It's the rev of 68 variety.

I think the coin will actually look better than the pic.....but the mark will still be there.

    MS-63+.

    It is good enough for the date and great for the type.

    Keep looking for another one and always know that you have this one as a back-up to sell later. I would not send it in for grading since you should be able to find a nicer example with a little more time.

    Not really looking for much these days but if I were, it might be a toner. :smile:

    Spot does not bother me as much as the Big Ding in R and it looks like it goes thru the Rim to the Otherside? I Thought they were tuff on the Rims? Nice Pickup Enjoy image

    Ding or strike-thru on the R? Can't tell.

    could be strike through...fingers crossed

    worth a shot at grading even if it's a hit there

    congrats on the find too and best of luck with it

    >>>What is the distinguishing characteristics on the reverse?<<<

    The 2 deep valley's in the flame. The regular is almost flat with little shallow valley's that don't go far like these.

    Hope this helps.

    I got the 1969-P 901 today. Much nicer in hand than the scan.

    I can't tell what it is on the "R". It doesn't look like a scratch so maybe it is a strike thru. It's not as bad in hand as in the pic. I think PCGS would grade it 63...give or take a grade.

    JMHO

    Can you do a picture of the R?

    The R thing looks like it could be a defective planchet to me. If it is a DP, you might have to go with error coin submission to get it to grade.

    I like it because it is a hard variety. I say send it in and let us know what happens. The overall coin looks good. Nice find.

    Back in the day that these were current issues, the two varieties seemed about equal to me in quantity.
