Toned Ike Dollar - Love it or Hate it.

SemperFI

I recently rcvd this coin back from PCGS and rcvd the grade of MS64. I found it in a mint set that looked to have had some water damage about two years ago.

Besides the coin having very nice shades of purple, blues, reds, marroons, orange and yellows on the obv...it has the water bubble line around the ear which I find sort of distracting. The reverse has a very weird toning which has nice teal/blue and blue around the rim in the letters (doesn't come out too well in the photo) but the rest is a dark gold/green but it is not corroded, just toned that color.

It has very few marks for a MS64. What in yr opinion as to why it did not get a 65? Do you think the water bubble line had something to do with it?

I wouldn't buy it myself.

How is the luster ?

SemperFI

The luster is fine. You still get a reflection and a cartwheel on the obverse and reverse.

Love the obverse...hate the reverse. but over all nice

Proably got a 64 due to it's Low eye appeal. Blast white would look Much better.

I really like it. I have never seen color like that on a clad Ike! Clad Ikes are scarce with true color.
The line between MS64 and MS65 is very fuzzy when it comes to clad Ikes.

Certainly is original and different. I think it's neat.

I am surprised it got into a holder....environmental damage????

Pretty nice for a 64. Not sure I'd be too wild about it in a 65 holder, even though the surfaces look 65 or better in the scan!

This coin is environmentally toned just like any other coin, but I would not call it damaged unless it had green corrosion seeping from the copper. This coin does not.
