    Your thoughts on grade?
    These are the best pictures I have right now.
    Any input appreciated!

    I think there's too much handling wear to be a true MS. I'm thinking mid AU range - 55?

    I'm thinking along the same lines -- AU58-MS-61. Weakness of hair behind the ear could be wear or weak strike, but I'll leave it to the Ike gurus.

    PCGS MS63 - woo-hoo! This was a $47 e-Bay coin.

    Nice going!
    The Ike Gurus hang out at the Ike group site

    http://forum2.ikegroup.info/

    But they do keep a check on the talk around the different neighborhoods.

    way to go, nice score.

    were the ebay pics good or was it a total blind leap.

    I thought the pics were better than average for e-Bay, so I took the risk. They make the coin appear brighter that it really is, but were large and reasonable clear compared to most. Probably better than my picture which shows a lot of glare from the slab...
