Ike Specialist - Worth submitting? Results in.

WindycityWindycity Posts: 3,535 ✭✭✭✭✭
Just got the PCGS grade results... disappointed... MS65, MS65, MS65+ - not a 66 in the group. Did get a MS63 1972 Type II.

I just picked up a hoard of Ikes including many original rolls... some of the 1971-D's are pristine. Here are images of three coins. Looking for opinions from the Ike specialist as to whether these are worth submitting to PCGS. Welcome all opinions.

    I seem to remember reading that some 1971-D's were struck on planchets that had been prepared as proof planchets... maybe the Ike guys can chime in on this. The main Ike experts are all posters on these forums.

    I'm no Ike expert, but I like them - especially #3.

    Neat stirations on #3. I would send the first and last one in. Especially if you got them cheap.

    I would send all 3, unless that is a rim ding on #2. These are fairly common in MS66, and would only be mildly profitable, and money losers at MS65, but I have seen MS67s that are worse, and a clad Ike in 67 is Cha-Ching!

    Here is a MS67 I had graded for comparison.... this one is a nice!! 67.

    I would not make a submission with just them but would use them as fillers to get twenty coins on a Modern submission. Handling fees and shipping get leveled out that way.

    That first obverse is great!

    I think I might send it in.

    The third one is none too shabby. This is a tough date.

    not surprised on the second one.

    maybe the spotting killed the first one.

    I have no idea why your coin got a 67.

    The rim is almost non-existant between 4 and 5 o'clock and that strike through in the Temple area nearly eliminates the design detail. Together, they preclude it from a "Well Struck".

    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.
