Pulled this from a sealed mint set with nice toning! Looks really nice almost proof like in hand. I don't understand the process on grading Ike's since comparisons show some high grades with a few hits, but no hairlines, yet lower grades show no hits and some hairlines. Just wondering on opinions and a detailed rundown on importance from highest to lowest and an experienced opinion on grade with this one if anyone knowledgeable with Ike's can help..
The first image looks MS63ish to me. The second image looks UNC details environmentally damaged to me.
In that condition, I would have left them in the sealed Mint Set. The toning hides a lot of the surface imperfections and that will keep them from being graded about MS-63 at best.
i would have left it in the set i am not for coins of this toneing i do have some nice ones but i would not even grade a coin of this nature
Why would you not grade it? It's entirely dependent on the angle and looking dead on you can barely make out a nice blue ring around the rim. To each is own but is it really THAT ugly?
