Here are the 1st 4 from the 12 that came in today... Nice batch.  Quote:
I took these out of mint cellophane. Tell me how they get fingerprints while sealed in cello? They look like scuff marks more than fingerprints. Still, not sure how they got there. Quote:
Here's my latest- 1972-D for the 3rd Dansco album. Very nice, Darth Morgan!  |

Okay the '77s aren't so photogenic. Will definitely have to upgrade those 2. Got a 1971-P today.  Here are the 1978s from the lot. These aren't too bad. Probably the best looking coins of the whole lot.   Edited by MontCollector

Very nice, Coconutjoe! Quote:
I think I got this more than 20 years ago. I don't have too many Ike's so this one used to be BEAUTIFUL. I don't know what happened to it. Slabs are not air tight. Where did you keep it? |

I suspect the attic is the culprit.  I will need to find the reference post, but supposedly whatever contamination is on these Ikes from the mint is activated by the heat. A lot of the 40% silver proof Ikes got that way because dealers kept them in the trunks of their cars carrying them from show to show. |

Well, I already have a 1978 in MS66, but I scored a second one for only $36. Not quite the same score that this fellow had. . . . . http://goccf.com/t/287764. . . but I'm not complaining. I just threw a bid of $50 on it with 4 seconds left- when it was still at $28. I was surprised when it ended. I love getting quality Ikes for a good price, especially certified, high-grade gems. The rustic colors are an added bonus for me. I edited the sellers pics to adjust for haziness.

Got a 1973-S Proof set for dirt cheap because case was severely cracked right over the Ike.. I broke it open tonight and freed them.  |
