A Silver Ike in OGP

Here’s a 1973-S Silver Ike in government packaging. I’d forgotten all about these until I opened one of the hundreds of sealed packages that I have. Probably the only one I own. A low mintage for this year.

Any Brown packs that come in a box? They are proofs.

 

I don’t but I’ll take your word for it.

 

The '73 is my favorite of the blue packs. You made me want to look at mine. It has started toning around the periphery of the obverse

 

Mine is a little better. I like how they put the blue chip in the package. Maybe I should get the chip graded?

 

Think some/other OGP for these was a plastic holder similar to what many of the GSA Morgans came in.

 

That's the proofs in the brown boxes.

 

I don't have one but yours is sure nice. Thanks

 

It sure is.

 

And a beauty I might add

 

Interesting factoid, there are two known MS 1973 S coppernickel clad Ike dollars that have been found in those blue OGP envelopes.
