<p>[QUOTE="Johntomk, post: 1831318, member: 57110"]Thanks guy. Grading gets so confusing sometimes. I honestly thought when I bought them they were 63s but when I started looking at pcgs graded Ike's I started questioning it. For $3 each I guess I can't go wrong on them. As for the spot on the reverse, coin dude, under magnification it is just a really light toning spot. Does anyone know if pcgs or ngc is better with grading Ike's? I've heard people say for instance that pcgs is more lenient with franklins and ngc is tougher. I didnt know if Ike's may be similar. Also, while I was at the coin show this Saturday, I sat down at at a dealer's table and started looking at Ikes. I had been there on Friday, and the dealer remembered that I was looking at Ike's. He walked over to me and brought me a tray of all the silver dates in the series. I find it nice when dealers take the time to remember their customers. Especially when they remember what series they collect. I feel like it shows they care about their customers, and it will make me definitely buy from them again. But, anyway, the man that was sitting next to me overheard the dealer talking about Ike's, and he started talking to me about them. He asked me if I had heard of the ike group and their books. Then he asked me if I've heard of the prototype ike. I said I had, and he said he was the first to find one. I was somewhat skeptical, so I looked him up after the show. Turns out it was him. I just thought it was kind of interesting. The show was in my hometown, which is pretty small, and it was held in the gym of the city's civic center. I know there aren't a whole lot of ike collectors, so I thought to myself that out of all the shows and all the dealer tables I could have sat down at, I sat there. Just thought it was interesting. Thanks for y'all's help.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
