Hit the jackpot MS70 Eisenhower

Stew

Found this in a box of stuff. I forgot I won it last year on ebay. Got it for the novelty. Saw it listed and thought holy crap an MS70 Ike gotta see this. then when I saw the coin and who graded it got the biggest laugh out of it I had to get it Thought you guys,especially the Ike guys would get a kick out of it. A good laugh is a great thing.

Have to agree any MS 70 Ike makes me chuckle...

Looks like a decent enough coin. A 70? Maybe on a scale of 100.

Stew

Is there such a thing. I have looked at hundreds in the last year and thousands online and have not seen one yet.

<<Is there such a thing.>>


A 70 Ike?

Stew

yea a 70 Ike

Id imagine there is one or two somewhere, but I wouldnt expect to go to any shop and cherrypick one.

Its a big coin that marks up real easy and will show the smallest hit. I personally love this series for all the cool varieties, but it is hard to find killer pieces.

Of course there is such a thing as an MS-70 Ike. This picture very clearly shows one.

On the other hand, if you mean an Ike that grades MS-70 based on mainstream grading standards and evaluated by a competent grading service, that's a different matter...

i am not convinced you would knowingly buy that as a novelty...

That is exactly why I love the series have been studying them for little over a year now. Thought it was going to be a easy series to build a dansco out of. Then I started to learn about all the varieties and Holy Moly an obsession was created

MS-70...?

Is that the grade or the solution used to clean it?

Thats o.k. fc when you can get an ms70 Ike for 4.00 plus shipping it is definitely a novelty

Sorry, but the real novelty is actually finding a coin in an SGS holder that is not graded MS or PF 70!

Very cool idea would those be considered conditional rarities A 62 or 63 SGS

YaHa

Sure Ike was 70 once.


I like it.. looks like it has a chance to cross at PCGS..

I don't think I have ever seen worse white balance on an image

Did the lighting off of a lamp off the desk to show the Big Scrape on his cheek

Ah, okay, i get it. They hide the REAL grade in the first two numbers of the certification number.

I think it may be some PCGS PR70s but I'm not sure about MS70s.

Love It

wow that coin is beautiful- strange though as I believe my au55 looks like it should have been a 70 as well

I think it might be an FHC specimen. How did you acquire it ?

TwoSides2aCoin

The guy who slabbed it MS 70 had a lot of FAITH (F) ... it paid off when he cashed in on the second guy who bought it with a lot of HOPE (H)... it didn't didn't work out so well for him, so he took that hope and listed the coin on eBay, ultimately giving it to CHARITY (C)... Hence, the FHC specimen.

another ebay success story.

I have seen SGS MS70 in other series sell cheap on eBay. Nevertheless what is in the holder is an BU coin even if nobody else would give it a 70.

Ebay auction last summer.
