[QUOTE="mikenoodle, post: 2750819, member: 307"]CuNi Clad is far harder than silver, it is also not as reflective. Both of these factors will come into play when grading Ikes. You will see more planchet flaws on Ikes because they're harder, and therefore they don't strike out as well as on a silver coin. determining contact marks from planchet flaws is a steep learning curve. I tend to look at them like nickels as far as marks, I expect to find some on almost every coin.[/QUOTE]
