Clad Ikes are tough to find in Gem.
All nice!
All of these are tough but before the mint sets went bad you'd only need about 50 of them for a nicer '78-D.
The others are tougher.
I define "GEM Ikes" as MS65 or better plus attractive surfaces. (Not all GEMS are the same. . .) Yours are absolutely both!

Lovely!
These four Ikes have positive eye appeal (both in hand and in the Trueview photos).
Attached are Trueviews of other Ikes from the same submission that did not grade MS65.
All 9 of these Ikes had been sitting for years in a Dansco album.
Nice set of Ike dollars. I have quite a few, none slabbed. Just casually acquired over the years. Some still in the blue issue holders. I should look at them, might have something special and not know it. Cheers, RickO
Ikes are tough in higher grades of mint state.
There is a whole lot of field area on the obverse, and it's just begging for another coin to hit it.
