Most have a decent cameo contrast but it (the contrast) is often overwhelmed by the spots. 1973 is the first year of CuNi proofs in the Ike series. Most of them grade MS-65 or better. Then again most proof coins have excellent strikes and should grade at 65 or better, especially post-1970. </p><p><br /></p><p>If you&#039;re asking me my opinion on this coin, I would pass on it. It&#039;s a relatively common coin with a relatively common strike and the eye appeal is lacking due to the spots. I would also prefer one with a deeper cameo contrast. This one has some, but not as much as some I have seen. </p><p><br /></p><p>I would look for another. You&#039;ll likely find a nice coin without the spots, but it will take some work to find. That&#039;s an Ike that would interest me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
