Looks like it was actually graded.

Chris, As you know I wouldn't have much advise on the photography possibilities but have a dangerous amount of knowledge on chemical etching. There are a bunch of chemical etches that may revival the date but the after effects may turn this cool Ike from a $15 coin to a $1 coin. I guess it just turn...

A point worth making is that there were a few years between the 1B and 28A discoveries. For those looking for a 28A or 28B, it would be worthwhile to look at those attributed as 1B, even among your own coins. The MPD is an easy thing to miss when considering the clashing primarily.

ljs123, Thanks for your thoughts. Look forward to seeing your pictures when you have time to post them.

Thanks for the information on the "roller marks", Messydesk.

alefzero, Thanks for looking. I can't see the possible O top in the denticles or impressions by the bow.

Thanks for the advice. I have really learned a lot since joining VAMWORLD. As I had hoped, it has been a lot of fun searching for VAMs and trying to attribute coins I have had for a while as well as new ones.
