ANACS Population, 1971S MS67 Silver Ike

moosesr

Where could I find the ANACS population of a 1971S MS67 Ike and would a ANACS silver MS67 Ike be similar in quality to a PCGS coin?

Thanks, Charlie

In my relatively limited experience with them, ANACS is generally reasonable grading MS silver Ikes, but it may or may not be similar in quality to a PCGS MS67.

If it's from a knowledgable seller, it's almost assuredly not a "lock" PCGS MS67, or that's the holder it'd be in right now. That's an expensive coin in PCGS MS67, with no MS68 graded to date.

Even PCGS MS67 1971-S Ikes are not a lock PCGS MS67.
Ask Keith.

I agree. Many PCGS MS67 71-S dogs out there. Nevertheless, there are full PCGS MS67 grade 71-S coins also. Be patient to find one.

ANACS has only graded 2 in 67. [latest report] I would take it in a heartbeat if the price is affordable. Chas.

I was watching this auction linkfor a 1971-S ANACS MS67 Silver Ike, but it got out of my price range.

I couldn't get the link to work, it was Ebay #1392079612.

Very low eye appeal, and (in my opinion) not a good candidate to cross over to PCGS MS67.

I think you did well to lay off this one.

Tough to tell from a scan, but while it looks clean, it lacks the crisp strike PCGS likes to see in that grade.

And it appears to have little luster. I would guess an overdipped -- and judging from the toning -- not properly rinsed coin. And since it needs another bath to have a hope of being a true MS67, that would knock the luster down further.

In other words, what fantasiize said.
