    1984 ddo-001 grade

    I have this 1984P 1DO-001. I'm trying to price it by grade. Any help on the Grade? I also believe this might be a EDS. The coin has a nice cartwheel affect.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    The close-ups make it look like it might be whizzed. But overall, in the whole coin photos it looks pretty nice. Lighting keeps me from being able to estimate it's grade, but it certainly looks mid go upper MS.

      With all the requisite caveats about grading from a photo, I'd say 66. Maybe a +.

          In the big pics it looks great, many of these have bad plating but that one looks nice.
          In the close ups it looks like it has some tiny directional scratches.

            The plating blisters are not too bad. But I have to agree, there are hairline scratches. From what, or how bad, or will impact the grade? Not sure. Sometimes a coin in a paper envelope in the mail will get small surface scratches like this.

                I'm assuming this is the coin I sold you? Looks completely reborn. What did you do, powerwash it?

                  Yes it is. It takes about 2 to 3 days to do it. No chemicals, no brush, just a cotton cloth and a special none chemical mix.
                  Looks pretty good. You can't tell it's the same coin.
                  Do you have any pictures from when you had the coin?

                      You never sent a picture to me. I bought it sight unseen. Maybe when you get home later see if you still have one.

                          Great coin, Frank. I'd give it an MS65 all day long.

                            Here is a photo of the coin when I first got it. Before and after. You were right Dennis. I forgot about the picture. Done with no chemicals.

                              Wow, what a difference. A little TLC and the coin looks brand new.
