<p>[QUOTE=&quot;stldanceartist, post: 7288157, member: 13307&quot;]Good evening, everyone!</p><p><br /></p><p>Now that CT is back up and running after a couple day hiatus, I&#039;d like some opinions on this 1976 D T1 Ike Dollar.&nbsp; Just pulled it from the Mint Cello (as evidenced by the discoloration on the reverse) and I have to say, the obverse is the cleanest I&#039;ve ever seen from a raw Ike.&nbsp; Apart from a couple small hits in the prime focal area (because, of course) and a few marks just behind his eye...man...is this a clean obverse.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><i>Note: the line on the bottom right is actually a die scratch, not damage.</i></p><p><br /></p><p><i>Note:&nbsp; I added two more sets of images, just for fun...I don&#039;t know if they add anything extra, just honestly felt like taking a couple more sets of images.</i></p><p><br /></p><p>Image set #1</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1276034[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>The reverse, however, is a different story.&nbsp; Multiple hard hits on the moon and other places.&nbsp; My opinion (FWIW) would be that the obverse would be a 66+ with a slight chance at 67, but the reverse...like maybe a 64?&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><i>Note: I&#039;m comparing to the images over at the PCGS Photograde, which frankly were a bit surprising - as in, I expected 65 to look a lot cleaner than they did, same with 66.&nbsp; I don&#039;t really think my coin is comparable to the 67&#039;s, especially with the aforementioned marks, after checking it again.</i></p><p><br /></p><p>Image set #2</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1276035[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Image set #3</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1276062[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Image set #4 (after conservation)</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1276063[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>So, my question is this:</p><p><br /></p><p>What do you think this coin would fall on the grading scale, were it to be sent in...</p><p><br /></p><p><i>Note: I kind of think it would stand a good chance of getting a 66.&nbsp; At least a 65+.</i>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
