GTG 1974-S Ike Dollar

Spoiler

I was thinking 67, but pics made it hard to tell. Based on a 67, I was thinking $29. Nice pick up.

I would like to say MS67 but will go with MS66 and maybe about $26

 

Yes, sorry. Not my best photos. And thank you

 

I did not see your spoiler report prior to guessing price

 

Close!

 

That’s okay, that was the idea, is people can still guess without having it spoiled.

 

Good Job!

 

That's a great deal...

 

Thanks! I’m not sure that it isn’t over graded, but that price is good for me for either of the two it could have been. I’m happy with it.

 

Nice coin I got in after the beans were spilled never the less nice pick up I was at 66 before the cat was out of the bag.

 

I would not have said 67. I would have gone 66, and said $25.00

 

It might very well be a 66, but when it was up for $27 on eBay, I couldn’t pass it up. It can be my type coin for my set

 

I wanted to say MS67 as well but the spoiler was already posted. It is a nice looking 66!

 

Naw. It’s a 67 for sure. Not a doubt in my mind. Ultra clean fields and very minimal marks on the bust. I would have guessed you paid $32.

 

At the wood grading academy, (North America branch) we would give the coin a MS67. Weve contacted our North Korean office, and they too, are at the MS67 conclusion. Thanks for letting us help you

 

The Aruba office also confirms MS 67....guaranteed even on a blackberry screen.
Unfortunately this does not get the coveted EW bean.

 

Awesome! I’m glad I picked it up.

Oh, then you are a grading clairvoyant? I’ve collected many an Ike, and it easily could have gone either way. In fact, I have owned coins equally as clean that graded 66. Depends on the phases of the Moon, when grading Ikes like that.

 

Hehe. No, it’s much more straightforward than that- a simple process of elimination. There are too many marks for it to be a 68, and it’s too clean to be a 66.

But, in theory, yes, this coin could have graded 66, but only if the graders were sleeping. NGC got this one right. This coin IS a 67.
