<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ike Skywalker, post: 3316009, member: 82381&quot;]I bought this Ike from Troy Weaver, who has the ALL TIME finest Ike registry set. He said his company, Mint State Modern Coins, found the Ike in a 1000 coin bag and submitted it raw. The coin has nice luster, even underneath the gold and orange toning. He said he couldn&#039;t speak as to what happened to it before it made it into the bag. Still, PCGS straight graded it, which surprises me. It may have been pressed up against folds in the bottom corner of the bag or something if it did tone while in storage. This may be plausible, given the random, chaotic toning pattern . Environmental damage? Maybe. But ugly or not, I had to have it. It&#039;s one odd duck.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]878765[/ATTACH] </p><p>I also purchased this 1972-S proof for my next Dansco set. It has ruby red halo toning along the obverse periphery. It&#039;s a deep red, but it really pops in direct light.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]878766[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>I used harsh, direct light to bring out the ruby red ring:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]878767[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
