CoinHI Pillar of the Community United States 2731 Posts	Posted 08/03/2023 8:47 pm I've been looking to acquire one of these for awhile now but they are usually a little out of my price range. I got this for $20 shipped and I'm pretty happy with the purchase. The coin has a slight rainbow tone on reverse and luster on both faces. Lack of rim design and weak reeding indicate this is a low pressure strike. It looks like there was a slight tilt to the die as well. It weighs 2.24g so its not a thin planchet. Thanks for looking!

Spence Moderator United States 34402 Posts	Posted 08/04/2023 04:43 am I really like this one @coin. Is that a small planchet defect at 10 o'clock on the reverse rim or just a couple dings?

CoinHI Pillar of the Community United States 2731 Posts	Posted 08/04/2023 10:01 am Thanks for the comments! I do like how these photos came out. The weak strike gives FDR a sort of vignette effect that I find appealing, same for the reverse. Spence - I believe that is a small planchet defect like you suggested.

Dearborn Moderator United States 95630 Posts	Posted 08/07/2023 08:28 am I do like how there is only a partial reeding on this one too. Collecting since 1972.

CoinHI Pillar of the Community United States 2731 Posts	Posted 08/07/2023 11:32 am Thanks again! I've always wondered how the grading criteria is used for errors like this, thoughts?

Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5772 Posts	Posted 08/07/2023 2:32 pm I would think the planchet nicks would count against it since they would be visible and not eliminated by the strike.

Wouldn't those nicks be considered pre-strike blemishes, not eliminated by a full strike and not count against the grade? "Pride is yoked with callous behavior, as humility is with compassion."

Willburton Pillar of the Community United States 2558 Posts	Posted 09/26/2023 09:31 am Cool coin! I look for things like this too. Generally labeled as grease strike or something similar. I would call this coin ms60. As long as there is no evidence of circulation. I don't see how they could grade it any higher than minimal with barely any strike. Report this Post to the Staff
