<p>[QUOTE="Ike Skywalker, post: 3174758, member: 82381"]I received a new Ike in the mail today- my first MS68 silver business: 1972-S. Boy oh boy, am I happy with this latest upgrade. It is far and away MUCH better than my 67. The difference is striking. Lots of photos for this one 'cause I'm excited about it.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]816783[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]816784[/ATTACH] </p><p>Side by side comparison in the same shot:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]816785[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Side by side comparison in separate shots under identical lighting conditions.
