I was skimming through some Ike listings on ebay and ran across this low-ball. Do you care to take a stab at the PCGS grade and the asking price from the seller? Have a great weekend!    |

I'll say it graded a F2 and the seller wanted $250.

Good gravy, that thing looks like it was sandblasted.
No clue on grade, but wow.

I will guess it was graded FR-2 and the price is $500.

Somebody peeked! Oh well, it's still available at $149, although there a couple others according to PCGS; According to the PCGS Certification Database, the requested certification number is defined as the following:

Who would pay to get that slabbed, or was it just a joke?

Not a joke ... there are many collectors who enjoy chasing these well circulated examples ... and I suppose this coin will be sold eventually to such a collector. There is something to be said for honestly circulated coins that have been in use well beyond their expected lifetime ... and although I admit the pursuit is not for everyone ... there is a certain joy in holding such an example in your hands. I can appreciate the life this Ike experienced ... and in that spirit I can enjoy the photos and wonder how it got to be where it is today. David |

It looks to be someone's treasured pocket piece now encapsulated for posterity. Slabbed for a low ball set? One can put together a really "nice" low ball set without the expense of getting the coins slabbed and the coins will look better in 2x2's anyway. Ed ANA LM-3175 |

I enjoy finding a well circulated older coin, and much of my pre-WWII collection is just that, but I personally draw the line on an identifiable date. But why the cert? Is there actually a market for the "smoothest" circulated coin still (barely) identifiable?
