MS64 Ike Crackout Results

imageWell, I got my results today on 15 MS64 Ike Dollars that I cracked out and submitted to PCGS. One 1971P MS64, received MS63, 14 MS64 1972P Ikes: received 4 MS63's and 11 MS64. I compared these coins with my MS65 1971P and 1972P coins and thought they looked equivalent. I guess that is fairly consistant grading, but I thought I would receive at least one MS65. I will not crack out anymore coins to try for a higher grade!!! I have had better luck crossing over coins from NGC and ANACS. I am waiting for the results of one more submission on crossovers and will provide results when received (4 of 5 so far).

  • Sorry to hear you didn't get your wish Charlie - Those are tough dates to get in MS65 or better!

    It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

    Don't laugh I actually got higher grades than expected on the ones that did grade.

                Charlie,

                I believe based on the examples I own and have submitted that PCGS is a full point tougher on Clad Ikes than they were previously.

                I've cracked out a few MS 64 71 and 72 Ikes this year and have had the same results. Also tough are the 74 and 76 T1. Seems PCGS toughened their grading on these about a year ago. After 2 tries I sell em at a loss. image

                Does anyone have any experience with NGC's grading on the 1971 and 1972 clad Ike's? I had thought about sending some of the 15 PCGS MS64 Ike's I cracked out to them for grading just to see how they compared to PCGS grading.

                Rumor has it for every single Franklin that crosses from NGC MS65 to PCGS MS67FBL, 15 Ikes need to pay the price!
