<p>[QUOTE=&quot;physics-fan3.14, post: 4848622, member: 19165&quot;]Well, here&#039;s a coin I never thought I&#039;d own. Those of you who know me know that I have been working on a Prooflike Type set for about 10 years now. One of the many show-stoppers is the Eisenhower Dollar. Throughout the entire series, NGC has designated 4 Bicentennial Ike&#039;s as PL (3 of which are currently on Ebay), and a single non-Bicentennial (a 1971D). The Bicentennials have been on Ebay for several years, and their asking price ranges around $2500 (which is, I&#039;m sure, why they have not sold). </p><p><br /></p><p>In the 7070 Type Set (which is what the NGC Registry set is based on), there are 3 Ike&#039;s required. The first is the regular clad version, the second is the Silver issue, and the third is the Bicentennial. NGC has not designated any Silver issues as PL. </p><p><br /></p><p>Well, I was trolling Ebay, as I often do, and this beauty appeared in my search. Long before NGC started designating PL&#039;s, old ANACS did. I&#039;ve had mixed success with the small white holders regarding PL - some of the coins I&#039;ve bought have been incredibly strong PLs, some of them did not cross to NGC as a PL. Either way, this one looked good so I put in a pretty strong bid. Lucky me, I won! </p><p><br /></p><p>So, I present to you my newest Prooflike: a 1971 S (silver issue) graded ANACS MS-64 PL. In hand, the mirrors are definitely full and strong. There are a few marks which limit the grade (64 is probably right, but I wouldn&#039;t be surprised with a 65 when I send it to NGC eventually). But, it is unquestionably a PL. </p><p><br /></p><p>Tell me what you think! I&#039;ve included a video so that you can see how the mirrors behave in the light. </p><p><br /></p><p>[MEDIA=youtube]AmK8NA-eLwA[/MEDIA]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1170769[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1170770[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
