1978 D?
FR-02, but might get to PO-01.

Fair rather than poor, but close.

Hopefully this pic will closer identify the date.  |

I can say with a high degree of certainty that this is a 1970's issue.  Actually, it looks like a '72 looking at the two obverse photos together. As for mm, it's there but since you [Domain555] have it in hand, you've got got the best shot at that with a 10x loupe. Is it identifiable (the mint mark)? As for grade, heads, P; tails F. |

Smooth.  Nice find.  I am not adept with the low-ball grades, so I will just observe at this time.  |

As for grade, heads, P; tails F. The MINT is (D) Not being coy. ~`~` Just want the honest judgments of CCF members on the date. I believe I can see it. But what I think is really not important. Will try to get other Obverse PICs up ASAP Thanks for your understanding and support(s) Domain555 |

Hoping this PIC will give a better idea of the DATE.  |

Whats the real difference between Fair and Poor coins? Both sides are so worn with over 90% of the details missing that I'm not sure how to differentiate between the two grades! Thanks

Thanks I am not the expert in these matters. I am here to learn. And gather opinions from fellow CCFers TPGers are the last word in the grading. And they do NOT give out the PO-01 grade much As I understand it there are many IKEs where there are (0) zero PO-01 in a particular YEAR -- MINT -- TYPE  Problem here is you have to spend a considerable amount of $$$ to get one graded. I have had this coin for about 2 years now. LOVE low balls ~`~` errors ~`~`PEG LEGS ~`~` toned.  |

Although it is very worn, I do not think it would make PO-1: too much details altogether (especially on the reverse). FR-2. Very nice coin |

Thanks The short answer is that there is no definitive difference as it's all subjective. A PO-01 coin just has less detail than a FR-02. Take a look at PCGS photograde for examples. If you look at the Ike page, though, the obverse of the PO-01 seems to have more detail than the FR-02. Nice coin! I wish you could wear it down more, but that last digit is dangerously close to wearing off already. Edited by Numisma

Nice coin! I wish you could wear it down more, but that last digit is dangerously close to wearing off already. Agreed Who ever had the coin in his-her pocket came very close to a plain worn out un-gradeable IKE. Numisma, from these limited PICs can you see the last digit? And yes, it is easier to judge it here under a 10 power loop |

I'm thinking 72, but it's hard to tell.

I know you guys have come up with a decent idea of date and mint mark, but I have found that when I am having issues figuring out dates and mints, it is easier to do a rubbing of the coin. It brings out a lot of details that are harder to see with the naked eye.
