Titles are Important! * When I first saw this nice looking coin I told myself "BE THE THREE, BE THE THREE". Sure enough the 3 And yes, all of the Stage A die markers are present (This box I am going through is not like the others; some of the coins are BU-LIKE this one.) My next evolution of learning is HOW TO GRADE COINS. QUESTION: What grade would you give this coin? Report this Post to the Staff

Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5780 Posts	Posted 07/13/2019 10:02 pm That is one sweet DDO. Been looking and hoping with no luck at all. Congratulations. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow. Report this Post to the Staff
GrapeCollects Pillar of the Community United States 8938 Posts	Posted 07/13/2019 10:12 pm I've searched hundreds, if not over a thousand 1963-D LMCs and never found this DDO. Lucky dog! Report this Post to the Staff
levelsofmadnes Pillar of the Community United States 3003 Posts	Posted 07/13/2019 10:21 pm Thanks Petespockets55 and GrapeCollects Anyone care to offer a GRADE? My guess (and it is completely a guess) MS63 RD. Report this Post to the Staff

GrapeCollects Pillar of the Community United States 8938 Posts	Posted 07/13/2019 10:45 pm As for a grade, AU58RD to MS61RD. There is some light rub on the head and ear, but that could be partially due to a weaker strike Report this Post to the Staff
