<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gbroke, post: 1448984, member: 22585&quot;]There has been a lot of activity in this forum about Ikes lately.&nbsp; Which is a good thing, since I really do like them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Seeing what PCGS calls MS 65 for Ike dollars really surprises me. They generally seem to have quite a few nicks and scrapes. Are those considered bag marks? Were Ike thrown in bags? Please clue me in.&nbsp; It took me awhile to understand that all the makrs on my Morgan dollars were actually bag marks. So is this the same situation with Ikes? </p><p><br /></p><p>Whenever I see folks posting Ike dollars here, they all look AU to me. But after seeing the slabbed Ikes, I know I am wrong.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, here are a few of some of the the Ikes I imaged. </p><p>How would you grade these clad Ikes?</p><p><font size="4"><b>A.</b></font></p><p><img src="http://memberitemcdn.thecoinnection.com/1000_ii93912084fa15fa803fe2.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><b>B.</b></p><p><img src="http://memberitemcdn.thecoinnection.com/1000_ii9665864fa2c5d6de750.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><b>C.</b></p><p><img src="http://memberitemcdn.thecoinnection.com/1000_ii2797114fa2d5ae5ce78.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><b>d.</b></p><p><img src="http://memberitemcdn.thecoinnection.com/1000_ii27823994fa360db0bf70.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><font size="4"><span style="color: #000000"><b><br /></b></span></font></p><p><font size="4"><span style="color: #000000"><b><font size="3">Also, do they technically grade the 40% silver strikes with the same criteria as they do the clad ones? The silver ones always seem to be much better. Is that because the silver ones were never put in bags, but rather straight in the blue envelopes, brown boxes, or bicentennial sets?</font></b></span></font></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://memberitemcdn.thecoinnection.com/1000_ii27999534fa2c142879d9.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://memberitemcdn.thecoinnection.com/1000_ii27957954fa2c24ccb11b.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://memberitemcdn.thecoinnection.com/1000_ii117818684fa2c295625b9.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
