Yak, I do believe it is in the specs of acceptable rotation by the mint.

but it looks like it is only a couple of degrees, not sure it will make a difference

 

Ahhh...thanks! I somehow thought more care was taken with the Proofs.

Caz, what is the "acceptable rotation by the Mint" for proof coins?

 

Usually, anything 5* and under should pass through the mint with no problem. I am not sure what the Mint does for proof coins though.

 

Given that 9:00 is a 90° rotation and half that would be 45°, I would think this might be a 15°-20° rotation. Granted, it's not a lot...but more than 5°.

(alt-0176 = °)

Is it pink in hand i have never seen pink toning on an ike??? Nice coin though love it....

 

That's not slabbed is it?

 

If that's natural toning, it's spectacular!!

 

On the pink and gold Ike, my gut feeling is PCGS will grade it, but I could be wrong. The "tell" for me are those parallel lines visible on the obverse (mostly in front of Ike's face). Every time I have submitted a coin with that toning pattern, PCGS has come back with a grade. I think that sort of pattern is practically impossible to fake (or engineer). I am submitting this coin using the PCGS Secure Plus service so it can be "sniffed" for illegal chemicals. Luckily it was only $10 so it's really a no-lose coin. This will be on the way to PCGS for grading in about a week (Robec has it right now). I will post here what PCGS says. Yes, it really does look like this in hand.

 

picked up a nice 1968 proof set and a 1969 proof set for 10.00 total from my buddy. the 68s kennedy has a nice cameo contrast on the obv.

it is really hard for me to photograph it in the set but i dont want to break it up lol

 

I need a '68 set Cody. Graduation year (HS) and not payin' much attention........

Nice pickup.

 

you dont have a 68 set yet ken?

 

Duh, I'm a dummy.

 

LOL, no. I keep forgetting to ask for one when I go to shows and, when I remember, it seems nobody has one......

 

4 Franklins with a change of home--from Gbroke to Morgandude, as Greg is tired of Mullet Man:

 

Won two Rosies yesterday off of Greatcollections. Overpayed on the 1960 but I had to have that beautiful toned coin. Its worth $5 Paid $7 + $5 buyers fee and $2 shipping. The 1956 is worth $15 picked it up for $5 + $5 buyers fee and $2 shipping so I did ok on that one. Still love them both so I am happy with them.

 

The best green color I have ever seen on an Ike. On it's way to PCGS for grading in the next week.

 

My newest from a very interesting series that I hope to get more of.
