    Toned Ikes are generally faked.
    Especially if they've been slabbed.

    This one is my favorite. I’m guessing it’s nail polish and whiteout for the letters

    Even Ike appears PO'd; he's been disrespected like this.
    :/

  • I like the subtle toning you sometimes find on the ikes in mint sets.

    Based on having seen many more toned Ikes in holders than I’ve cared to, I’ll have to disagree with that.

    My post was an intentional "wind-up" but the really funny thing is that yours can be read that way too :p

    :o I am very happy to report, none of my Ike dollars look even remotely like any of those. Cheers, RickO

    Don’t take it that way, as I’ve also seen many more color-free ones than I’ve cared to. That said, every once in a while I see an Ike that I really like.
