1972 Type III IKE - She's a beauty!

I cheated though. I just purchased it...

Care to guess the grade???

Wow, I'm jealous! It looks to be at least a 65 and I would suspect that it might even be a 66 . Nice purchase.

You're correct! MS65...When I receive it, I'll entertain the idea of an upgrade depending on how it looks. It's already going back to get attributed with the Type 3 on the holder.

Does anyone know if PCGS will do both, attribute and regrade? If not, how do I get it attributed? Do I just send it in for a reholder and it's done automatically, or ????

I've always thought that Ikes were cool. They were around when I was just a kid, and it was the first "weird" coin that I saw. It was so big and different from the small coins I was used to.

I've got a few high grade silver MS and proof Ikes, but I haven't gotten any of the regular business strikes yet. I don't know what I'm waiting for.


Ahhh...my first New Year's resolution!

All I have to say is

Very nice...Ken

Trooper

Nice pickup Mass

A regrade will provide new attribution...

supercoin

Congrats!

There's no particular rush to have it attributed, even if you're using it for a registry set, because they reused the old coin number for the Type 3. (I suggested they do that as it's the most common variety in gem grades.)

Rampage

They will do attribution and regrade.

They will have to attribute it anyway one way or another, so just send it in as a regrade.

Nice coin by the way.

Thanks everyone..

Am I the only one troubled by the title of this thread?

IKE is a she? and she's beautyful?




OK, before you flame me, I know it's just an expression, but I still found it funny. After all, if the title had been "1972 Type III Dollar - She's a beauty", it doesn't come accross the same way.

There's always one....
