Very nice coin. Luster does indeed boom, but the ticks bother me a little. I'm unsure of my indecision......lol
WOW! I knew the strike and luster were pretty good. Also knew Ike's were bad for planchet flaws and TPG's aren't supposed to take points away...
I love this! I've been thinking about doing a Guess the Grade Ike edition. Glad you were more proactive! Concerning the coin.....I'm VERY torn....
The ultimate in slab collecting.......
Too late guys, no relist on this one. I emailed the guy, offered $3,000, and he took it. I'm laughing all the way to the bank on this one! HA!
