It came back MS-68. I don't know if I should take solace in the fact that it immediately went up as one of the three examples on the Coinfacts page. I see why it didn't come back MS-69- a few tiny things that you couldn't see in the OG packaging. However, if this isn't the best known example of this coin, I don't know what would be. MS-68+ all day and night.
Here's how my three pack graded out: Ike 68, Kennedy 68, Washington 65 (ouch!)
I stopped at a bank the otehr day for a box of half dollars and one of my usual tellers told me about some old morgans that she had taken to a dealer to get the value and whatnot... small talk really.. Then she pulls a 1972 Ike that was gold plated that she kept around to show me. I looked at the reverse and i'll be darned if it wasnt a type 2! I told her the gold plating is probably hurting the value more than helping it, but I would think it would still be worth more than the buck that she paid for it.
I was looking through my Ikes today and found this. It looks to me like a double clipped planchet and it has a bit of a weak rim opposite the larger clip so it seems genuine to me.
