Darth Morgan Pillar of the Community United States 2815 Posts	Posted 03/22/2015 3:22 pm I recently bought a lot of 1971-1974 silver business strike Ikes for inclusion in my latest set housed in a Capital Plastics holder. Well, upon opening these coins from the OGP I saw that the 1971-S and 1973-S were littered with fingerprints. I know this has been seen before, so it was a valuable lesson for me to never purchase these this way again. I'm going to stick with davenenders from now on, and I'm only going buy the ones he describes as GEM. Here they are. . . . Edited by Darth Morgan 03/22/2015 3:22 pm Report this Post to the Staff
