Eh, it could be Machine Doubling, but does that details a coin? After I read OP's inquiry, I expected to see roller lines somewhere, and I see none of that. |

I have 2-3 Ikes with the same "machine damage" details grade, and I too am wondering where it is on my coins. I also have a 1958 Jefferson nickel, that could be an MS65 FS, but it has the "machine damage" designation as well! Ugh! |

Does PCGS have a page (somewhere) that explains the designations it gives? Is Machine Damage the same as Machine Doubling? |

Looking at the largest image download, I am seeing some arced incuse lines through the hair above the ear. The face seems a little beat up in places, too. Again, this is with the largest image. I cannot imagine them being visible in hand without magnification.

jbuck, that's probably it then. I don't notice the lines in hand but I can see them under magnification. In hand, it's a really nice coin.  |

I see the lines and hits jbuck mentioned under the max image. I still don't understand how that details a coin. Why don't the hits and marks just lower the grade to me 60-62? What about something like this? It has hits and marks and still straight graded. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1976-D-IKE-...AOSwpkFY5EicNice looking coin, sorry for your bad luck with the grade! |

I ran across this coin on ebay, and I too was wondering where the damage was located. I see what jbuck is seeing with the hair. It looks rough. I have a 73-S that has similar damage to the hair area, but it graded clean. It's one nasty gash, and it looks like the eyebrow took a hit too.   - jbuck is glad he didn't buy this from me.  Can't blame him either. |

I remember that one. Quote:

I think it should have graded clean as well. It's not like someone intentionally damaged the coin. A lower grade would have been appropriate, IMO.

Looks like the damage is at the jaw line, extending into the upper neck.

Beautiful coin ... sad it got a details grade.
I am not seeing what would cause them to give a details grade.
Only thing I do see is a small rim hit, on reverse above UNITED.
