<p>[QUOTE=&quot;phankins11, post: 2298702, member: 70703&quot;]Ikes are known for hits digs and scratches, even in mint state 60-64. They are big heavy coins and they were not treated well from their early life as a planchet to being tossed around in 1K$ bags. I&#039;m wondering if the area on his forehead isn&#039;t a planchet issue. That would be one of the highest points on the coin, so deepest area on the die, so least amount of squeeze preasure, which means it&#039;s possible for planchet issues to remain visible after minting....then again, I may be over thinking it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
