freewheel Valued Member United States 123 Posts	Posted 04/21/2010 06:44 am I know this coin is neither rare or valuable in this condition but found it in Holland this weekend for scrap value. What grade do you make it? Thanks. Edited by freewheel 04/21/2010 08:34 am Report this Post to the Staff

j_h_s Pillar of the Community United States 1934 Posts	Posted 04/21/2010 07:57 am I'm no expert on grading Kennedys. This year is more subject to damage. I cant tell if the scratch marks are on the coin or if the coin is in a holder with scratch marks. http://www.coinbrowser.com/grading-..._dollar.html I dare say MS60 to 62 depending on how the scratches impact its overall grade.

Gothic Florin Pillar of the Community United States 2541 Posts	Posted 04/21/2010 10:26 am I'd call it cleaned due to the nature of the horizontal lines. It's a shame because there is some nice luster on it. Report this Post to the Staff
biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 04/21/2010 11:38 am I do not think those are cleaning scratches, they are more than likely die polishing marks. Notice that they are only in the fields and do not cross the devices. Report this Post to the Staff
steve199 Pillar of the Community United States 1882 Posts	Posted 04/21/2010 11:46 am I agree with bio's assessment, and unless there is some rub/wear that isn't showing in pic: MS64 Report this Post to the Staff

WashQuartJesse Valued Member United States 173 Posts	Posted 04/23/2010 1:48 pm I wouldn't have paid more than scrap. I find the heavy die polish lines very distracting (if it is in fact...un-cleaned) Even without, the machine gun hit on the hair and numerous small hits on the face should keep it from exceeding 63. I run into these coins in the Washington series... I dub them problematic and worth scrap. Report this Post to the Staff
