This item has been in a rock tumbler for quite some time. If the piece were authentically worn down by hand, you wouldn't have all those jagged up rim nicks still sharp.

I do admire authentic lowballs, but not mechanically worn coins. Yesterday I got an AG 1885-O Morgan which I plan to keep as a pocket piece until I can get it down to PO-01.

I should let this go ... but in the spirit of the CCF mission of education I feel compelled to respond to the following comment - Quote:
A lowball is any coin that is so worn down that it can't really be graded by most standards.
Not true ... and there are many lowball collectors of certified coins who appreciate the inherent beauty of an honestly circulated coin that has served our nations commerce. The Ike shown in this thread was 'made' by mechanical abrasion ... it is not an honest coin and not IMHO worthy of serious consideration other than as an curiosity. On the other hand ... there are many lowballs certified by the top TPG as problem free examples. Many of us (myself included) can appreciate the story to be told of honest PO01 or FR02 coins ... they hold the secrets of our nations commerce. True lowballs are absolutely gradable ... I have many of them.  David Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art |

Regardless of how it got that way, it is still an Eisenhower dollar. Plenty of reason for some love. |

The only person that will ever love this coin ever again would be Jbuck.

Have your doctor write a note to make your bank order you a bag of Ikes every day.  |

No, more like a pattern... SBA, Ben, Ben, JFK, Ike, Ike, Ike, JFK, Ben, Ben, SBA. Rinse. Repeat.  |
