HoboNickelCarver Pillar of the Community United States 717 Posts	Posted 02/23/2019 4:31 pm I saw this worn Eisenhower dollar on ebay. Most of the time you don't see Eisenhower dollars in circulation. How would a dollar like this get this worn? Here is the auction: https://www.ebay.com/itm/1976-S-Cir...cal6&LH_BO=1 Report this Post to the Staff

Tootallious Rest in Peace United States 1559 Posts	Posted 02/23/2019 4:44 pm The Eisenhower dollar was very popular in Vegas in the 70's pretty much every casino had 10's of thousands of them. They went through a lot of hands, and machines! Report this Post to the Staff
chafemasterj Pillar of the Community United States 6514 Posts	Posted 02/23/2019 5:16 pm There is also the chance it could have been someone's pocket piece. Check out my counterstamped Lincoln Cent collection: http://goccf.com/t/303507 Report this Post to the Staff

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15572 Posts	Posted 02/23/2019 8:29 pm A nice lowball for sure. Seller claims 1976-S 40% silver. Someone will appreciate the coin for what it is. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 02/23/2019 9:36 pm C'mon. This has been ground down and smoothed. Complete fake. Even a Morgan dollar wouldn't look like this after 40 years of genuine circulation. Laughable. Edited by Coinfrog 02/23/2019 9:40 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Tootallious Rest in Peace United States 1559 Posts	Posted 02/23/2019 9:45 pm It's gone anyway. Quote: This listing was ended by the seller because there was an error in the listing. Yeah, it was a "D" not an "S" as originally posted. Edited by Tootallious 02/23/2019 9:47 pm Report this Post to the Staff

ratman4762 Pillar of the Community United States 2523 Posts	Posted 02/24/2019 04:14 am I picked up a couple lowball Ikes from a bank myself & sold them on ebay. At the time I didn't realize the demand for lowballs. I had them listed in a lot with other Ikes and had a couple people contact me with offers just for the lowballs which I accepted. also found some 40% halves worn down too. Legit ones are out there.....just few and far between imho. Report this Post to the Staff
just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 02/24/2019 07:49 am Now that is what I call worn out. Report this Post to the Staff
fistfulladirt Pillar of the Community United States 4333 Posts	Posted 02/24/2019 11:23 am Agreed pocket piece, or casino coin. One characteristic of a casino coin is that the reeded edge is worn smooth When I listen to LED ZEPPELIN...so do my neighbors...
