Show me YOUR graded Ikes

Here's a couple I have. I like them because they are big, relatively cheap, big, shiny, and big. Unless you get into the copper-nickel clad versions that are less-shiny and more expensive. But still big. I do not have ADD...

The first two I sent in myself straight from the blue pack and 3-coin bicentennial pack. The last two I bought already slabbed. Does the grading seem consistant?

Holy cow, ldhair - those are nice clads!!!

What are they, MS67? MS66? If the slabbed 77D is not a MS67 there is no justice... Is it one of the half dozen or so MS67s?

My best clads are a 71D and 78D MS66. :-( After that they get expensive REAL fast.

 

No way that 77-D is a 67 with that big ole annealing hit right smack in the middle of IKE's Face!

Don't tell anyone, or it might ruin my image (lol), but I started collecting Ikes even before copper. I have probably 40 slabbed examples. You can see them here:

Here are two of my favorites:







The latter is a 69DCAM, and I have absolutely no idea why it is not a 70.

 

p.s. Larry, I really love your 72-d's. Wonderful coins. What do they grade?

 

Neither do I.

 

I also collect Ike dollars and agree with your thoughts! Here's an Ike collecting project I've got going on:

PCGS Set Registry > Collectors Showcase > Themed Coins: 40% Silver San Francisco Mint Ike Dollars 1971-1974 & 1976

Sorry, I haven't made my own pics of my graded Ike dollars. I'm not set up for imaging slabbed coins so well. Eventually I'll get around to that task.

:smile

 

Thanks. Actually the same coin. It's only a 64. Todd took the second image.

 

:yes:

 

I like Ike too. However, I have a question for you... Are those actually "YOUR" coins James?

Seems the NGC certified Brown Box Ike is copied from a Collectors Society thread here and the 1971-S in the Littleton bag was used in a Coin World article.

The thread says, "Show me YOUR graded Ikes". Neither in your post appears to be yours and one isn't graded in the the TPG-sense. Got anything of YOURS to share? As I said, I like Ikes, like you like Ikes. :yes:

 

you right,i the ikes i own are in proof sets/mint sets ,2 brown ikes 71,72 an 30 raw ikes:yes:

 

Wow, that's quite a difference, but looking at it now, of course you're correct.

Heck, I'd take 64s like that all day. What a pretty coin.
