Hi everyone!

I’d like to have your thoughts on this coin. Is it only a chip / two chips in the MM or anything else to explore?

    Lots of details left on the coin, it would look good in a penny book. :)

    It looks like it may have had a cleaning at some point so may not be worth grading. :/

    nice coin

    the S looks filled in or something

    1976-S US silver ike dollar PCGS MS66 ($35 cash )

    1921d US silver peace dollar NGC AU58 ($47.39 cash)

    1875 Straits settlement 1 cent ungraded ($8 cash)

    Yes cleaned.... I hate it when coins with nice details are so horribly cleaned :s

    Looks genuine. Yes, a die chip in the MM is known. Below is a clip from a Coinfacts 18-S. The L in LIBERTY is often weak.

    As for the coin, the obverse appears to have hairlines. So it was likely improperly cleaned. Probably worth grading, regardless.

    Hairlines preclude grading. Just push it into a book.

    If you do what you always did, you get what you always got.

    Nice album coin!

    Too bad about the cleaning. Someone will still like it as a budget album coin.

    All glory is fleeting.
