<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BR549, post: 926025, member: 7110&quot;]As a general rule, if the date is not readable, it will not grade. There are no fancy x-ray machines or stereo scopes used to determine a date on a coin. Magnification and a strong light source is all that will be used. PO-1&#039;s require a partial date that can be confirmed. The only other times will be for coins when there was only one year of issue...like 1964 Kennedy half dollar. If it were wore down to a nub but you can still see Kennedy&#039;s profile and an outline of the eagle on the reverse, it can be determined from the metal content, 90% coin silver that it is indeed a 1964 half dollar.</p><p><br /></p><p>Hope this helps...if you can&#039;t see the 77 on the IHC move on to the next one. Hypothetical is not a grading standard.</p><p><br /></p><p>Happy Collecting</p><p><br /></p><p>Note: As always, I could be wrong about this whole thing...corrections are welcome.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
