captured Ike

In a block of lucite!

 

My MS64+ came in today. I picked it up for it's potential to be a MS65. I think the 64+ is an undergrading. I'll try to get some better pics of it up next week. Still on the fence about cracking it out for resubmission.
Let me know what you guys think.

Its hard to see with no pic of the reverse plus your obverse pic is blurry. In my honest opinion though and dont take this the wrong way im not insulting your coin at all, but i feel the risk reward potential is not high enough. If you thought it was a 65+ or 66 then it would be a no brainer because the price jump would be significantly higher and you would make some good money. As it stands now you have purchased the coin which has already cost you some money then you have shipping, insurance, and grading fees all of which would quickly eat up any profit. A MS65 71-P Ike is listed at $175 and you would be lucky to recover two thirds of that if you were to sell it, there are just not that many Ike fans out there like other series.

 

Bought today PCGS MS66

 

Gorgeous Matthew!!

 

I saw it and could not resist the obv is clean and well struck, as for the reverse it could have had a stronger strike but all in all i think i did well.

 

:thumb:Very Nice you don't see to many like this one. I like the toning 4 sure!!!!!

 

Just bought tonight...

1971-P PCGS MS65

 

Here's one of my few Ike's which I only bought to add to my NGC 7070 Type Set and it gave me an extra 2000+ points which is pretty neat. The coin is PCGS MS-67 (silver) and actually makes me want to get into this series a little more....

 

Spectacular 71-P Matthew!!

 

I bought it from James sego's website, what a stunner for a 65...:thumb:

 

I got bitten by the Ike bug it seems. I just went on a little buying spree and picked up a whole bunch of blue and brown Ikes. It does seem there's not a huge markup on them, I was able to land all of them for an average price of around $11 a coin, which is just over melt price.

Here's a couple pics of some of them. I am really in love with the blue toning on the proofs, probably why I was drawn to them in the first place.

71/72 brown proofs:



73 blue uncirc:

 

I'll second that!

 

Here's a 1974-S Silver Proof I recently had graded.






While its not target toned as so many 74S IKE Proof are it does have a nice pearlescent feel to it. Almost a mother-of-pearl look.

 

Love the opalescence that Ike has, what did it come back as?

 

PR66DCAM. Why a 66 is beyond my capabilities of reason. Why its a DCAM is also beyond my capabilities.

Grades such as this leave me questioning all sorts of things.

 

wow, that is surprising to me as well. I would have pegged it as at least a PR67, leaning toward a PR68. This seems to be one of those cases where the grade doesn't do it justice. You have to love the coin for it's beauty and not the grade on the slab. I guess it will be another awesome toner for your showcase.
