Mariash New Member Canada 49 Posts	Posted 04/23/2017 10:33 pm Hi, Can you help me grade this coin? Freshly out of cellophane! Report this Post to the Staff

Oijogja Pillar of the Community United States 715 Posts	Posted 04/24/2017 08:50 am Hi Mariash, I can't give you a good guess on the grade of your Ikes, but for those who would be able to, I think they'll need pictures that are directly above each coin and lights the whole coin fairly evenly. Glares and shadows sometimes make it impossible to judge surface condition (extra important in the high grades you're hoping for). And since you're considering spending money to get these graded, I wouldn't want you to get wildly inaccurate opinions from the forum. Report this Post to the Staff
jbuck Moderator United States 188513 Posts	Posted 04/24/2017 09:44 am A grade based on existing photos, subject to change with new evidence. I see three hard rubs that really kill the eye appeal for me.

Mariash New Member Canada 49 Posts	Posted 04/24/2017 11:01 am Hope these are better. Photos taken in AM with ambient light only. You can see now (as opposed to yesterday's pics) how the coin is lightly gold-toned. Coin is really not mirror-like, though, if that what we were hoping for. Nice and lustrous, but not a mirror...

Mariash New Member Canada 49 Posts	Posted 04/24/2017 11:08 am Thanks! Still not best pics. Will retake pics when I have a better setup. (I'm in the process of moving, when "triped" over an into my coin collection... for a week...!) Report this Post to the Staff

MontCollector Pillar of the Community United States 2403 Posts	Posted 05/09/2017 01:30 am I am also in the MS64 range on this one. The mark on the fore head is distracting. Report this Post to the Staff

BadToTheBone Pillar of the Community United States 1795 Posts	Posted 05/12/2017 7:56 pm Don't like the scratch either........MS64 on a good day! The scratch really hurts the eye appeal as far as I'm concerned. Report this Post to the Staff
