Finally, some grades. And yes, a few surprises.

Well, the wait is over. Some success I guess and some surprises, both positive and negative. I like to wait till the coins arrive for a good scrutiny before I react too harshly, but a couple are just wrong, IMHO. But, maybe I can learn something from it all.
They seemed to like the Ike's I sent, maybe I should look for more. At around $3 they are a steal raw from dealers who absolutely hate the coins. Anyway, my previous comments/estimate from Don's contest thread are first with the grades received and any comments following.
Any feedback is appreciated along with a sense of value on the Ike's cause I don't really follow pricing for the series.
Submission number----3109744. Received 1/14/04.
