steiner8654 New Member United States 9 Posts	Posted 04/17/2025 5:01 pm Ok thanks. It was uncirculated, I opened it as I wanted to see what it was. I read it was a finned rim. And now its just an AU 58 half dollar haha Report this Post to the Staff
steiner8654 New Member United States 9 Posts	Posted 04/17/2025 5:13 pm How would it be PMD if I opened it from a sealed 1975 set? Report this Post to the Staff

steiner8654 New Member United States 9 Posts	Posted 04/17/2025 5:26 pm Thanks for the link. That makes sense. If I do open a set for a single coin and seal it right away it is still considered uncirculated or is it now AU 58? For example, I have 2, 1975 uncirculated mint sets and I noticed the clad P dollar coins are quite valuable in MS66 or higher. How would I go about having just one coin graded from that set?

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19573 Posts	Posted 04/17/2025 5:43 pm Agree with Tunnioc. Ike dollars from uncirculated mint sets are notorious for having handling digs and rub marks, making them fall in the lower MS range. I've gone through several dozen bicentennial (1975-1976) sets, and have yet to find anything better than MS64...just my experience. Edited by ijn1944 04/17/2025 5:46 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Once a coin leaves the strike chamber, anything that happens is from damage.
