North St. Paul coin show

1st let me say hi. I've been around for months reading everyones post and learning a ton of new info. I thank you guys for the education. Now on to my post. I went to the North St. Paul show today and I got some good deals, at least I think so. I picked up 3 1921-D morgans today and one 1881-S that is a monster tone. I finally igure out which VAM's the '21's are:

VAM 2B which I picked up for $22. I say it's AU.
VAM 1F that I picked up for $10, fine to very fine.
VAM 1L that I also got for $10, I say it's x-fine, maybe AU.

I have a question regarding IKE dollars. I bought one today that looks pretty good, it's a 1971-D. How do you grade IKE's? How big do contact marks have to be before they start to affect the grades?
Thanks

    Welcome to the boards. I was at that show too for about 90 minutes.

    Can you post a pic of the Ike Obverse and reverse. The specific comments you'll get after showing the pic will probably mean more to you than just the general words on how to grade Ikes.
