The grade on this Ike?

MSD61

I know that it is hard to grade by an image, but I have this 72-D Ike and wondered what you may think the grade might be. Speaking in ball park terms.

Well
If the feilds are clean and there's no major face hits. I'll go 66 for the Denver mint

Per the photo I'd go either MS66 or polished/whizzed AU. But, because you own it, i'd place funds on the table it's the former and not the latter.

I would guess 65....marks on cheek and upper lip?
Hard to tell on reverse.....Is that is chatter b/tw The moon and UNITED?
Again, hard to tell with photos and Clad Ikes are very hard to photograph

Still,....I very nice coin!

Clad Ikes are QUITE a challenge to make in 66!!

Obverse look suspicious for cleaning/polishing. If not, nice 66. Reverse is a little small to judge.

MSD61

Nope no cleaning at least not by me. It was bought just as you see it. No wizz jobs either I made sure of that under 10X power. It's my favorite business strike Ike. Yes, there are some small scratched on Ike's cheek just faint ones and a scratch or two on the fields obverse side. I just wanted to get some other opinions. I think this one I'd send to be graded.

thanks,
Mike
