spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 12/24/2016 11:35 pm I'm trying to develop this skill but I'm guessing they are in the MS-62 to 65 range. I can't narrow it down. P.S. Not a professional opinion! I don't see a problem with removing them long enough for pics as long as they're grasped by the edges only, placed on a coin-safe surface that won't scratch it and put them back after taking pics In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020 In Memory of Tootallious 3-31-1964 to 4-15-2020 In Memory of T-BOP 10-12-1949 to 1-19-2024 Edited by spru 12/24/2016 11:38 pm Report this Post to the Staff

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 12/25/2016 04:19 am If you think they are at least 66 it would be worth it. That seems to be the breaking point. Anything over 65+, get them graded and slabbed.

moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 12/25/2016 1:19 pm First Coin: On Obverse: Small "railroad track" above D in GOD, ticks at bottom of neck and cheek, minor rim dings. On Reverse: Ticks in fields, a couple of more pronounced rim dings. Over all MS-64. Second Coin: I cannot grade it as reverse is whited out for details, and obverse also to a lesser extent.

Jeromewhite New Member 17 Posts	Posted 12/26/2016 1:41 pm Here is a less washed out photo of the 1973D. What a difference a photo makes. Are the small 'craters' on Ike's forehead and temple from oil on the dies? Report this Post to the Staff

IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36906 Posts	Posted 12/27/2016 08:18 am I think the D still makes MS-65 Report this Post to the Staff
