segoja

I give it 100% chance of not selling.

Never say 100%; there are people who will bid and buy anything.

The price is about twice the (now) going rate and the coin looks solid for an MS68 but not PQ.

I'm selling MS68's at $85-100 per for nice coins.

I've had some go wanting at $80.

I have some very nice NGC MS68's that would fro sure cross, and I can barely sel; them for $60.

I'd like to sell someone who bought the coin in question some Ikes.

I'll bet you $300 it sells... you have to agree a couple hours before the end of the auction, though.

Although if the photo is an accurate representation, it does look unusually flashy. I have one with unusual deep luster and I'm asking a bit of a premium for it. Of course, it hasn't sold either, heh.

You can buy beautiful ones anywhere for $100.

I just bought one of these for $61 including shipping, so this one doesn't have a chance.

And I think mine looks nicer:

You never know, there's a buyer (memorabiliabob) on eBay that is buying stuff at primo prices lately.

For non-Proof 72-S, there are two types of surfaces, satiny surface (99% of the non-Proof 72S Ike dollars) and flashy surface (possibly less than 1% of the non-Proof 72S Ike dollars). For some reasons, the flashy surface Ike dollars have more contact marks in high grades compared to those on satinty ones.

If you have chance to see any superb (PCGS MS68) 1972-S flashy Ike dollars, their luster is a mind-blower and you will wonder whether they are the first 10 coins struck from a new pair of dies.

I was told they existed in early 90's. It took me 12 years to find mine.

I just sold a 1973-S in MS-68 for $115 and a 1974-S for $125. I'd say there is a 100% chance this coin won't sell.

I'm not saying this particular eBay coin is "special", but the label isn't everything, as jcping notes.

Here's an atypical 72-S that I recently sold. Very flashy and apparently so freshly struck the obverse portrait even has a bare hint of cameo. Unfortunately this one had some water spots and minor marks, but for an MS68 example like this, there would be a 100% chance it WOULD sell at $239. At least if I saw it in time.
