[QUOTE="Troodon, post: 26503420, member: 4626"]This made me curious as to what the highest grade on Eisenhower dollars even were. PCGS has never graded a circulation issue Ike higher than MS-68 (only 1977 ever made that) and rarely do they get better than MS-67. High grades are especially rare for 1971 & 1972 issues as they weren't in uncirculated sets. (Some silver ones did get MS-69 but no clad business strikes have been graded that high as of yet.) Anything higher than MS-65 is quite valuable; it's rare for them to be minted that well. Heck even from mint sets better than 64 is quite lucky. I'm kind of settling for just "OK" atm and maybe down the road I'll upgrade them if I'm in the mood and can afford it lol. Just got a 1974 & 1974-D in the mail from an eBay purchase; both pulled from mint sets, and look "pretty good." The 1974 has a little bit of toning on it despite being in a sealed package for 51 years; it can still happen, but it's not unattractive toning.[/QUOTE]
