Can anyone help Grade this IKE?

I don't know anything about grading U Ikes. My guess on this one shown below would be MS66 but I am not good at grading uncirculated coins. The pictures don't show it but it does have beautiful luster. I bought over 20 1972-S Blue Ikes awhile back and this is one of the nicest. The others are nice too but some do have a bit of haze. Can anyone help? Sorry for the pictures. I am still learning how to take pictures.

Thanks,

Robert

  • Bah -- beat me to it. The photos have a strange yellow-orange tint. Also, did you have the camera on the super-macro setting, or just macro?

  • Looks like a far size dink on cheek, maybe MS64 is luster present.

    The silver 72's come nice, and that one looks like a 66 to me as well. Unfortunately, it's probably more practical to purchase one already holdered than to submit it, unless it has some sentimental value. The MS67 coins frequently trade in the $20-$25 range. I sure like the design in silver though. It's what the coin was intended to look like.image
