From the images, I would have called it a 65. From better images, I'm not sure I would agree with NGC.
The images make it tough to grade. I'm at 15 or 20. When you check it in person, be sure there is no damage.
Folks will never agree on the topic. The Cherrypickers Guide to die varieties has a few clashed coins listed.
Don't use soap of any kind. There is no need to dilute acetone. It's not an acid.
Just the 1830 is worth a few hundred. I would give it an acetone bath. No rubbing or you will kill it's value.
They look real to me. Nice group.
Great thread.
Good answer.
A quick look at auction results show many MS-67 coins in PCGS holders bringing $4000-$600o. Really cool garbage if you ask me.
That's the first one I thought of as well. I like both designs. Why did they make a 2 cent piece?
Cool looking piece.
Do high grade Ike dollars have long term potential? In my opinion, yes but only in MS-66 and higher grades. Tough coins to find in those grades.
Really cool Charmy.

It kills the value. It's a problem coin and there is no way to fix it.
Not worth the fees.
Looks 63 maybe 64 to me.
Acetone without the water rinse has always worked for me.
It's really cool that folks like Conder and Cameron recorded the history. If I'm thinking right, Condor helped Cam with much of the information...
