I was pretty comfortable with this one until I put it under a loupe. Now my head is spinning. I did my best to highlight the hairlines and other negative points of this coin.

Good job with the highlighting! The coin was definitely rubbed.

What type of light are you using? If you want to easily see all the imperfections use a halogen light.

After a little research I'm coming back to say I believe the vertical lines on the reverse and obverse are probably planchet striations.

I made a second reverse picture circling in red the three spots that could be rubs. The one above the eagle's head looks likely as a rub. It's a bunch of small frantic scratches in random directions. The other two could be from coins rubbing together in a bag? I'm not sure.

I'd still like to hear some grading speculation. :)

I think there is a rub on the reverse between just to the right of the left rim to the edge of the eagles forward (right) wing and just below the earth and forth star down to just above the moon.

I may have said this before, but there is no such thing as a bad Eisenhower dollar.

So from my point of view, regardless of what the marks are, is it is still a nice Eisenhower dollar.
