    New to grading Ikes and was wondering what you guys would grade these 1972 Type 3s and if you think any might be over 64. Noticed MS64 are in the $20-30 range and wouldn't be worth sending in but 65 jumps up to about $100.

    I see a lot of circulation issues. Like the 3rd coin with it's reeded edge comtact marks from another coin. I don't think they would grade 65 or more. IMHO

    Based on your images I don't think they would even grade MS.
    Too grainy.

    I agree. Were they graded MS, 61 or 62 would be the max IMO.

    The 4th and 5th pictures are nicer but none approach MS65 in my estimation.

    I agree with paddyman. 4 and 5 look best to me but not 65 sorry.

    I personally wouldn't spend the money to have any of them graded unless you got one heck of a deal for a group grading of coins.

    Thanks guys! A couple look pretty nice to the naked eye, except #3 has those brown areas that might be corrosion. My photography skills aren't too good, but the in-hand toning/luster probably led to some wishful thinking. :) 61 or 2 at best sounds right. Have been going through Ike bank finds from last year and have some '76 Ikes that look better but have some dirt. I might try some acetone and put up some pics.
