These were submitted under the 4 collector club "free" submissions. They were received 12/9 and grades just posted today, 12/31.
1 21432668 1971-D $1 USA MS66 (woo hoo!)
2 21432669 1972 $1 Type 3 USA MS64 (what I figured)
3 21432670 1974-S S$1 Silver USA MS66 (hoping for a 67)
4 21432671 1976-D $1 Type 1 USA MS65 (hoping for a 66, but a 65's not bad either!)
I'm thrilled! The 71-d was a shot 67 as it has flawless surfaces, but the weaker strike must have held it back. Yesterday I scored my first business strike, 1971-s peg leg variety. It's probably only a 63/64, but I bought it raw for $7 so I'm not complaining. Yes, Ikes are very addicting. . .
Edited to add that the 71-s is the rarer business strike as opposed to the proof

The last Ike I sent in was a silver bicentenial. It graded 67 and I still think it should have been a 68. The clad coins are even tougher!

Great job on the slabs and a home run on the 71-S Peg lfg business strike!
Sounds like some one is getting hooked on Ikes
Keep up the good work.
