I am in complete AWE of this coin. PCGS has the value at $11,500. Kind of out of my price range.

Here's the link:

I don't think I would ever be able to justify spending $11K on an Ike. Even if it is as nice as this one.

This is an absolutely gorgeous IKE ! There is just one thing that jumps out at me each time I look at this coin though. I keep seeing these horizontal lines going across the entire surfaces of both sides. Is that an artifact of them being scanned or something? I really hope it isn't part of the coins surface, since I do find it slightly distracting.

Me neither, unless I was stupid rich.

This is a common thing with what I call "crispy" Ikes- Ikes that are extremely well struck and high in grade. I have a 1971-D MS65 CAC, and these surface lines are also present, although quite a bit more subtle on the obverse. The lines are more apparent on the reverse. It sparkles like no other Ike in my collection. Even though it's a Cu-Ni clad it looks like a silver issue. It is blazing white. It's no wonder it green-beaned.

Here's a pic of my 71-D, showcasing the same "crispy" lines:

I found another example of a crispy Ike. This BIN on ebay is from our good friend Dave Enders. This is also a 1972-D that he describes as GEM BU. These lines are also present, much to the same degree as the one offered by Great Collections. Here is the link:

If I'm not mistaken, these lines result from the polishing of a die- polished die lines. Can someone else confirm this?

Yeah, my "What to buy when I become stupid rich" list has a new occupant in the top-5.
