Thanks for the uploads. I just love the blazing luster and iridescent prismatic tonal colors of silver... It not only gives a coin beauty, but a stamp of authenticity to it!
I am not to much into stickers as the green bean just Make$ the Price of a Ike go up. if they sticker all coins instead of only picking what they see $$$ in I may like John Crew better:yes: .my2c
It got to my house yesterday, and i have confirmed it to be a Micro S! Now if only PCGS would start attributing these. I guess I'll just have to send it off for a DIVA sticker in the mean time.
Raw eBay gamble although i know i shouldn't sometimes i just can't resist, someone should probably take this mouse and keyboard away from me......
I know the feeling... I have one major purchase to make for my collection, and then I need to take a break. On that note, I have a few Ikes up for sale in the WTS Forum if anyone is interested. I'm not going to give the stuff away, but I would like to sell it.
G Ike's were handle very carelessly @ Mint. I seen a set that showed more than a few of them Raw + Graded on Ike Group I think. Good Photo G!!!!!
I know what you mean, they're like candy. I've developed a very bad habit and I may need to join IA (Ike's Anonymous)... (each of the full piles is 10 proof Ikes...) But, when you see some like this it's real hard to resist:
Although not gems, this last album had some extremely eye appealing Ike's. The luster on these is off the chart. Too bad for the reed hit on this one. This is a real beauty for sure.
Latest purchase - ANACS 1971S MS64 Ike DDO 004/DDR 021. Top collectible Doubled Die Ike (Chapter 13 from the Collectible Ike Varieties Book. Some Pick up Points: Obv: Doubling on I in Liberty, Rev: Doubling of Islands.
My 1971-S I think could be the same dies pairing. I am sure Ngc was not. Paid to see or detail it . C phone
First stab at Teletrade. Paid $26 for a two coin lot ($18 bid and then the fees). This is the coin that showed up in the main picture: Hard to tell if it is a light blue toning or just hazy pictures, but it is silver... and the two coins went for the PCGS list price of just this coin. Now for the real reason I bid on the auction: Finally picked up a Limey. Can't wait to see this one in hand, and it was basically free. Will probably try to flip the Proof depending on what it looks like when it gets in.
Here is one that I picked up on the bay last year that has a bright colored ring to the holder if that is what you are talking about..
Yep, that's it. I've been looking for some of the OG holders with the Limey ring and haven't come across many. Happy this one was burried in an auction no one had any interest in.
