Thank You for participating, I am constantly practicing my grading skills. Grading a coin is something that comes through time and repetition. Grading from pictures is even more difficult. As evidenced by the different look of the coin from different angles between picture sets 1 and 2 I have sent pictures of this coin to a number of friends for practice who when the grade was revealed said "that is a different coin" The marker for this coin is the lack of any Island at all off the tip of Florida. (Never seen this before Still studying Why) For the 1972 S Business Strike Ike there is an incuse "Mega Island" just to the South East of Florida Stewart   |

"Hmmm.Top pics don't do this coin justice stewart.You tried to fool us"
Halfwitty,
Not on purpose.
Those were the first ones I ran across on the
photo bucket account.
Then found the second ones this morning while
trying to find the pics of the slab. which I never found and had to tear the safe apart this morning to find the slab and re-shoot it.
decided to turn it into a small lesson in the
difficulties in grading from photographs. Hope it helps
I have looked at thousands and thousands of graded pictures over the past two years.
Actually made myself a book on the computer of the coin obverse and reverse then the slab.
trying to get a handle on picture grading. For buying at online auctions where all you get is a picture.
After a while one can get a feel for it. differentiating between a defect on the coin and the slab and such.
Stewart

I would probably have called it a 66/67 because those high grades are quite common on those early silver Ikes and it is not definitely worth slabbing if it cannot at least make MS66. I would attribute most of the marks in the first two pics to scratches on the slab, I think that is what was throwing the guesses off.

I was going to call it as MS65, just because I have not really seen much above that. Really nice coin.

The Ike I posted in the recent Ike thread *might* be an MS68, and someday will make a trip to TGP to take the chance. |
