It was stored in one of those hard plastic cases with cardboard inside. PCGS gave it a 64. Nothing special. Just thought it's pretty.
A few shots of whisky and honey and you will feel better. After several shots you might even start liking Ike.
For all you Ike Dollar Variety Collectors, here's some prices on Variety . First is the BS Strike http://www.ikegroup.info/_pdf/bs_pricelist.pdf Second is the PR Strike http://www.ikegroup.info/_pdf/pr_pricelist.pdf Happy hunting everybody .....
Personally, I do not like the Ike dollars. Yours would be one that I wouldn't mind to have in my collection. It's a beautiful coin! Enjoy.
Unlike the rest of the responders, I like Ike; especially when they are nice colorful examples. Nice pickup.
Great lookin coin Larry. Are you talking the kind of plastic holders you can get at places like Hobby Lobby? Square, snap together and has a square piece of (now its like foam core) with the correct sized punch out for the coin? @ChangeinHistory - your avitar is quite nice...I love the silver Washies
I like Ike's and that is some very nice toning While I certainly agree that the obverse with Ike is not a pageant winner (cough gag) they do have 2 nice reverse designs.
I'm not a big fan of the Ike dollar either. Had they made it with more relief it might have been nicer, but it's so big and with the relatively low relief, it just falls "flat" for me. Pun intended. Now Ike as a person, I like IKE. BTW Larry, that's one of the prettier Ike's I've seen.
I have seen maybe 2 or 3 Ikes that I liked. Sorry, but this isn't one of them. I like the pink/purple/green colors at the center of the obverse. It is quite attractive (and natural). However, the puke-yellow around the outside, both obverse and reverse, really turns me off of the rest of the coin. To each their own - you'll find plenty of people that like this coin. Sorry, I'm just not one of them
You do know what the P in patina stands for right (Fyi, that's a joke that actually refers to how you age new copper to look old by adding a false verdigris to it by literally peeing on it lol)
