I came across these in a bank bag of UNC Ikes. Appears to show some progression of possible Struck Through Grease or other debris?

It looks like they are greasers and nice ones. But We need a full picture of both front and back and if possible can you adjust the lighting to rid that purplish color?

Where did you get a bag of Uncirculated Ike's? They probably are Struck Through Grease, and fortunately for you, they are Bi-cents which might actually make them sellable. Nice coins, but like others have said the obverse is important too, any error from Philly is much more rare.

Looks like grease with grit in it.

These are Struck Through Grease examples and they carry a nice premium above face value. do not handle then without gloves,put them in 2x2. share the additional finds in your bag, good luck.

 Love them. They are both 1976 p type 2, a slabbed ms67 is worth 2700 or so without the error. It is the only Philadelphia Ike that has a higher mintage than Denver, however as I understand it Philly errors rarer, maybe it's mostly due to the lower numbers, or maybe Denver was just darker, either way you have two very nice coins. I too would like to see any other finds

IF I were to try and sell these...would it be better to be sold as the pair? I wonder if one of the grading services would put them in a holder (both together in one holder)to show the progression? I guess ebay would be a good place but I'm not sure how to value them or if that would be the right market to expose them to.

sell individually. not worth the expense to slab them.Ebay is a good place to sell them.they may bring $20-$35 a piece.

There is currently only one other listed on ebay but it's in a slab. I would probably keep them myself, but if you were inclined to sell them I would probably list them for 50$ each. Unless you think they look like they are above ms67., But those both look like they might be around a 64

Quote: I would probably list them for 50$ each A remote chance anyone would bite at this price! it's a Raw coin.
