1972-D Ike. Looking for opinions on grade, Type 1, 2 or 3, whether it's been cleaned, etc. Obverse... Reverse...
Thanks again everyone. AU Details. I can't believe I asked the D mint Type question...major duh moment. The pictures show the coin resting in only half of the holder, you are not seeing the coin through the plastic holder. Full disclosure time...the reverse side of this coin was covered in a thick and hardened layer of epoxy. A friend of mine who owns the coin took a sharp pointy tool and tried to scrape/pry the hardened epoxy off but all he ended up doing was leave a few scratches as noted above. Subsequently he soaked it in Goo Gone over night and pealed the epoxy off, then repeated the process until all of the epoxy was gone. The coin was in Goo Gone for a total of at least 48 hours. Pealing vs. scraping/scrubbing/rubbing the disolved epoxy saved the coin from further scratches. Also, it is really hard to tell the effects of the Goo Gone on the appearance - it kind of shined it up a bit but can you tell Goo Gone was used if you didn't know how it looked before soaking?
I should have looked at all the pics instead of just 2 as my lap top is super slow loading pics . You can tell that someone scrubbed it due to the many small scratches like the ones on the eagles body . But I couldn't tell anything else was used , though it usually is when someone scrubs a coin .
