There is a type 1 MS67+ But only 1 Type 2.

How can the lines that appear across the device be made. They can not be die polish marks. They do not line up with lines that cross the fields. Both sets of lines are excessive. I've never seen lines so prominent. Because each set of lines cleanly end at the device I can not attribute them to cleaning. What am I missing?

These are called planchet striations. They happen quite frequently on the Ikes.
Not nearly as pronounced as the one posted.

 

Never saw two distinct sets of striations or striations cross a coin like that, always one set on the fields and always radial. Could that be from the nickel clad planchet (hardness) + size of the planchet + a worn die?

 

not talking about striations ,talking about the gashes and contact marks and all the chatter, i have many 67's they do not look so0 battle worn!!

 

I don't know that the community here has come to that conclusion, Could be roller marks and some I would argue that it is a form of weakness in the mixing of the alloy's. Those striations can be found on most clad coinage.

 

Sometimes the difference is the luster on the coin. It has nothing to do with how deformed the planchet might be. Luster has a so to say provenance in the modern coin era. It has to have blaring luster to get above a 67.
Honestly I would never buy this coin site unseen.
I think that this coin has smooth blustering smooth surfaces, It shows a luster graze between LI and Ikes forehead. What is flashing in the photo could be insignificant. Especially with the settings that the photographer is using.

I got to ask you John. What is this? Is it a BS/PF clad or a 40% silver clad?

 

this is not the coin i was talking about, the one i mentioned is in a great collections current auction..(see above links) the one i mentioned is a 1976-ty-2 clad

 

Hey. Don’t over think. Just guess. I’m bad at this

 

Like phones

 

I want some

 

I can tell you, this ike would not get a bean. And yes I would say it is over graded. They didn't knock out down for the chatter

 

The reverse isn't too bad but that obverse. I wouldn't even buy it to fill a hole.

 

exactly what i am saying, even if you discount the 'chatter" THERE are several hits on his portrait and many in the field, i own many 67's, none look like that

 

bids are up to 1557.00..guess people buy the holder not the coin

 

That's what is happening. That low population count is also contributing. Ikes are also heating up. And true high grade ikes are hard to find. Especially the clad ones. That large clad coin didn't strike up well. That might be why pcgs forgave this one? But when you put a coin like this into a low population like that it should be solid. Especially giving it a +. Nothing says + to me about this coin.

 

Here is a 1971 d clad ms66. It has a bean. It looks more high grade than that one.

 

that sure is a nice one, the way pcgs is slipping , send it in and you might get a 68+ or 69 on it, lol
