<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lordmarcovan, post: 3497794, member: 10461&quot;]I do not see any pitting (fortunately).&nbsp; That would be actual holes in the surface of the coin, which fortunately you do not have.&nbsp; These are more commonly referred to as &quot;milk spots&quot;, which is still a minor negative, but not as bad as pitting would be.</p><p><br /></p><p>So you&#039;ve got some milk spots and haze happening there- both common problems with proof coins- but they&#039;re not horrible.&nbsp; They essentially make this an average quality coin rather than a high quality one.</p><p><br /></p><p>Edit to add: if this coin were actually pitted, the pits would look like those craters on the moon.</p><p><br /></p><p>As to the year on the coin, you don&#039;t need to tell us.&nbsp; That&#039;s a Bicentennial issue from 1976.&nbsp; It&#039;s the only year they used that design with the Liberty Bell on the reverse.</p><p><br /></p><p>There are varieties in the Bicentennial Ike dollars- a Type 1 and Type 2 reverse, if I remember correctly.&nbsp; It has something to do with the &quot;fatness&quot; of the lettering on the reverse, I think, but I will let the others tell you more about that since I don&#039;t really do much with modern US coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
