<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 2890566, member: 27832&quot;]This just came across as eBay BIN:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/1976-D-Type-2-IKE-in-Rare-PCGS-PO01-would-be-lower-grade-if-possible/192347264358" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/1976-D-Type-2-IKE-in-Rare-PCGS-PO01-would-be-lower-grade-if-possible/192347264358" rel="nofollow">1976-D Type 2 IKE in Rare PCGS PO01, would be lower grade if possible</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I think lowball competition is silly because it involves <i>manufacturable</i> rarities -- just handle or tumble a coin until the date (or other identifying characteristics) are barely legible, and submit it. It seems tedious and pointless, but I guess it&#039;s not a big blow to the hobby if a few people grind down common modern circulated stuff like this.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m also a bit surprised this coin graded cleanly at all; based on the very worn Morgans and Barber coins I&#039;ve seen, I would&#039;ve expected the central design to be a <i>lot</i> flatter for this amount of rim wear. Whatever; I&#039;m clearly not a TPG grader.</p><p><br /></p><p>But take a close look at the mint mark in the photos:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]694538[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m no Ike expert, but if that&#039;s a &quot;D&quot;, I think I&#039;d better just retire from the hobby right now.</p><p><br /></p><p>I know TPGs sometimes make these &quot;mechanical errors&quot;, but hey, if you&#039;ve got the slab, you&#039;ve got the registry position, right? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
