Post An Ike (Eisenhower Dollar)

OK, once I adjusted the White Balance on Dave's pics, it looks much better. I kinda like it as well. The reverse looks really neat like this.

I like it!

I couldn't resist the luster on this one . . . . oh, the luster.

Got a pair of '72's today.

My 2nd and 3rd graded Ikes

Well. . . . . I fell under the spell again.

Mont,
That coin was sent in PCGS Secure, which gives it the true view. Those are the pictures you are seeing out of the holder, I assume darth took the slavbed photo

Here's an unusual (more so than my '78) toned '76-S. It's kind of a 60's throw back.





I also came across this 1972-D that has a nice golden tone to it.

You know, I had the same thought when viewing the TV photo closely. Then, after having the coin in hand, my opinion remains the same. The fields are considerably clean and smooth for a '71. Perhaps the toning had something to do with it on the grading floor. Sometimes toning can obscure clean surfaces as well as hiding hits and dings. I am more than optimistic that it could upgrade if resubmitted. I already have a 65 for my registry set, though. But still, I enjoy buying quality Ikes for fair prices. It's a hobby within a hobby for me.




Unusual indeed. It looks like you're warming up for tomorrow, Dave. I've seen this sort of toning on clad proofs before, but not so much on the silver issues. Perhaps the pattern is sort of a hallmark of the way the nickel tones on these Ikes.

Sire looks like a peg
