New Ike Proof

OK - I'm beginning to be cluttered with these things. This is a 1972 -S silver coin which is graded by ICG as PR69


This is not a PR69, so I don't know why and this is why I asked about ICG yesterday. It is a nice silver coin though and I brought it from Wayne Herndon at the end of the show.

I always love proof Ikes

 

Ruben, it's a beautiful coin. But it would be nice to get some authentic color to your photos.

super nice

 

the room is dark.

 

the room is dark.

You need some soft "back" light then. From your pics I don't see why the coin wouldn't be a 69, so we're not seeing wht you are seeing.

btw, I bought my Accented Hair 64 JFK from Wayne Herndon many years ago. Nice guy.

 

Have you tried scanning? I get very good and consistent results using a scanner. Plus no setups and focusing.

 

I appreciate the thought.

Ruben

 

So what are you saying? That it is lower or higher?

 

ROFL

It took me a while to figure out what your saying!

Ruben

 

Didn't t mean to confuse the issue. What do you think the ike should be graded?

 

PR 66 tops. Ikes have incredable mirror like finishes and this one is not as reflective as some that I have here, nor as perfect.

Geez, it looks really good from the photo. Maybe you're you own worse critic. I love IKEs. zg

 

Oh, thanks for the link. just great IKEs. zg

 

Just have to add and say your " modest" collection takes my breath away. I don't know what else but WOW and THANKS for posting it. I saved it and it will give me hours of joy just looking at it. zg

 

I appreciate it but trust me, my collection is SO modest. I have nothing, nothing at all...a few Ikes and some Mercs and proof sets.


I left the directories open on the web server so if you right click on an image and view it. Then remove just the image part of the URL you can a bunch of other photos of coins that I didn't pst for a bunch of reasons.

Hey - Think PR66 is a pretty good grade. What did you think of my grade on the Merc.

OK - What would you grade this:

 

wrong board

 

I'm gonna stick my neck out on the 77 IKE, DUH, MS63???????
