1976 Ike $1 Unc-60 V2 question

Braved a flea market yesterday, got the Ike for a buck as a vendor was packing up, more frozen than me. Google clarified the Big Sky Hoard tag. Web prices are all over the place from $12 on up. Before I free this guy from the Littleton bag, is there anything more I should know? Peace Roy

    I didn't know what the Big Sky Hoard is.
    Looked it up- https://www.littletoncoin.com/shop/News-2011-12-05
    How's the actual grade?

    Collector, occasional seller

    @ChrisH821 looks 60 to me even through the plastic, actually has a slight yellowish toning on both sides. Thanks for looking. Peace Roy

    It is better than a MS60,,,,,, from what I can see MS63-64.

    That nick prevents it from getting a FBL designation, unfortunately.

    I think Littleton calls all their generic uncirculated coins MS60

    Yeah, you can't miss that ding. @GRANDAM Do you think it will straight grade? And should I submit it in the Littleton baggie? Peace Roy

    @davewesen I didn't think of that. I haven't bought anything from them. Peace Roy

    I see no reason for it not to straight grade, I doubt that Littleton did any thing to them. I don’t think the bell line hit will prevent it.

    I hadn’t heard the story of the Big Sky Hoard either. Wow, that is a lot of Ike dollars!
