Darth Morgan Pillar of the Community United States 2815 Posts	Posted 08/27/2018 10:41 pm I received a new Ike in the mail today- my first MS68 silver business: 1972-S. Boy oh boy, am I happy with this latest upgrade. It is far and away MUCH better than my 67. The difference is striking. Lots of photos for this one 'cause I'm excited about it. Side by side comparison in the same shot: Side by side comparison in separate shots under identical lighting conditions. Here, you can see that the strike quality of the 68 is far superior. It has to be a fresh die strike. It has that glossy, SMS proof-like appearance, very much UNLIKE the 67. One more extreme angle showing the PL quality: It's pretty much the same with the reverse: Oh, and I have a 1974-S (PCGS MS68) upgrade on the way from Heritage. It appears to have lots of satiny frost throughout. That's what the TrueView indicates anyway. I'm hoping it will be just as nice as my new 72-S. Stay tuned....

So this is why you asked me about the 1972-S the other day.

Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10054 Posts	Posted 08/29/2018 11:52 am Wow indeed! So I wonder just what it would take to get an MS69 or MS79? I know there is some sort of "thing" against TPGs calling an Ike perfect. I just don't understand it. How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?

Quote: Darth Morgan, how much did you pay for the MS-68 Ike dollar coin? Thank you! The seller accepted my best offer of $120. You don't often find these silver business issues with TrueViews, so I really wanted it for my registry set. Of course, it also helped that it was a 68 too. Here is the link to the ebay auction. I'm often surprised at the number of Ikes I find on ebay that have a TrueView image, yet the seller doesn't utilize it in the listing. https://www.ebay.com/itm/1972-S-Eis....m2749.l2649 Quote: Wow indeed!

Sadly for us, there is no such thing as a perfect 70 business strike Eisenhower dollar. But I tell ya, this link will show you the closest thing to it that we'll ever see: http://www.PCGScoinfacts.com/coin/detail/7411/68 And, of course, as promised.......

Especially odd, since the photo in the auction is in an older holder?
