patrick Pillar of the Community United States 560 Posts	Posted 02/06/2013 2:36 pm I just picked this up over the weekend. It shows some scrapes, probably from a cleaning at some point Any thoughts on a grade for this one? Report this Post to the Staff

denco7 Pillar of the Community United States 2543 Posts	Posted 02/06/2013 2:57 pm The 1916 D is the prize, 1916 is not a rare date. This looks to be in VG/VF condition, but you can tellk it has been dipped or harshly cleaned. There is zero luster left. $5.00 maybe ? edit: typo on the date ....

westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9792 Posts	Posted 02/06/2013 3:09 pm AU detais cleaned. Still a nice looking example with a good strike. Now if there was only a D mintmark on the reverse! "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R. Feldman - "And read it" - Me 2013!

patrick Pillar of the Community United States 560 Posts	Posted 02/06/2013 3:11 pm Thanks denco7! I know it's a common date - I paid just over melt so I'm not feeling too ripped off. The scratches near the I and R on the obverse are a bummer. Still, there's some good detail in the wings on the obverse and in the horizontal, vertical and diagonal bands on the reverse. I was thinking XF details. And you mean 1916-D as the key for this series. Edited by patrick 02/06/2013 3:12 pm Report this Post to the Staff
CaptainFwiffo Pillar of the Community United States 4132 Posts	Posted 02/06/2013 3:33 pm Yeah, AU details, harshly cleaned. Report this Post to the Staff
denco7 Pillar of the Community United States 2543 Posts	Posted 02/06/2013 4:31 pm Unfortunately no matter how nice the details are, it is a common date, harshly cleaned coin and no one is going to take it seriously. Nice pick up as an album filler though. And you can't beat the price. Report this Post to the Staff
