[QUOTE="Bman33, post: 2776394, member: 77126"]I'm not good at grading Ike's yet but I have been looking at several both in person and on the Ike group grading tool and PCGS photograde. Luster: can't tell from photo but you said full luster in hand. Try to get a better photo if you can for luster. Marks: I like what I am seeing. Fields look good. Jaw, cheek, and Forhead look good. Reverse looks good with few marks too. I don't see any wear either. Strike: Good, Earth looks good and so does Ike's hair. Eye appeal. This is where I had some issues with the coin. At the middle of the neck and bottom of the neck on the obverse you have lime green spots. Same is true with the green spot on the reverse with the top feather on the left wing. There are black marks on Ike's temple and forehead. Rim: no problem Originality: I don't see much here. Once again, in hand you said it had luster. Conclusion: I don't think I have enough coins experience grading but it is a definite MInt State grade.[/QUOTE]
