No, but I am due, ain't I?

Yeah it does, but it's really on the coin.
Maybe someone that had it before was playing a joke. Brown Ike is Blue Ike? Does the holder look like it was tampered with? It is a nice looking color.  |

Trying to make an image of IKE look "Almost Pretty" is a big ask. lol
Your point that it was a GSA went over my head. Could you tell me what is a GSA?

I always wondered what the brown "simulated wood" box--that only the U.S Mint could dream up--looked like. Maybe it just toned that way from being in the box for 30+ years? But it is an interesting twist--A "brown Ike" that's blue. Was Crystal Gale the former owner? "Don't it make my brown Ikes blue" |

GSA (General Services Administration) Gov't agency that has dispersed coins in the past, along with many other items. |

I noticed you have a 1972 with the same coloring (just not as intense) in your auction of 5 Ike Proofs

I like the looks of that one, Bobby. I have a few Cook Islands coins that "hazed" in a nice blue like that.

Doesn't do much for me but then, beauty is in the eye of the beholder! Or so they say.

I like it. It's a cameo of a dirrent color, so to speak. I'll bet you could do pretty well on ebay with that coin. |

Oh Oh, no blue haze on either 1972 Ike that I have on ebay. But I see what you mean, it looks like some blue by the date. That is a reflection, possibly of me or my camera. |

Ikes normally don't do much for me, but that's a nice looking one you've got there!  There's something out there for everyone. Rachel  |

So, can anyone tell me how it came to be that colour? I kind of like it, it's very unusual, and as they say - blue is the new black!  |

What about commemoratives... should it be left in the original mint packaging or should be certified so the coin itself is protected?
