Here is one of my favorite Ike dollars. I love the near "PCI" toning- strongest on the reverse:

    NGC normally designates a star for something like this. The 2nd shot of the obverse really has the milky haze look. Wish there was a way to conserve and remove the haze without harming the tone.

    That's an excellent point. I'd only point out that haze appears to distract in the photos yet surprisingly in hand it doesn't. it too has taken on a pearl-like iridescence.
