Trueview posted further below

I am on the fence, push me one way or the other. What do you think?
I think it's 68 material at least. (but I'm the owner)

    These need to be pretty flawless to be worth the submission, and to me it does not look like this one would get a 68 or better if sent in.

    Nice, but not worth slabbing, JMHO.

    I see a 66 maybe a 67. If you are slabbing to make a profit it's probably not going to happen if your slabbing to go in your collection go ahead.

    Either way it's a nice looking coin

    I've submitted many of these and this is a 67+/shot 8 in my Ike book.

    72 S Ikes are the prettiest and best struck IMO

    I agree...maybe PCGS grades these like they do 1881-S Morgans....it has to be a 69 to be a 68.....

    If it doesn't have the usual scrape marks on the Eagle's head and wing edge then it might be worth submitting.

    Great picture and could go 67.... I would say it is worth submitting... not profit-wise... but not many Ike's look this nice... On the other hand, selling as is to speculators might bring in a higher return. Cheers, RickO

    The little mark on the jaw will probably knock it out of the MS-68 category. It looks more like an MS-66 or 67.

    I see nice luster! Do you have any Ikes already slabbed? If not, it might be a worthy attempt, not sure if it would grade 68 as that is pretty close to perfect. Need to magnify and look much closer!

    ChrisH821ChrisH821 Posts: 7,100 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Thanks for the comments all.
    This is by far the nicest Ike that I have, although I don't usually pick them up so I only have a few, and none are slabbed. All I have to compare to are the PCGS and heritage photos and I am a little surprised at what is "allowed" on 68's and some of the 69's. As far as keeping or selling, probably a keeper since I do like it.

    Now, if you find a 1971-S that looks like that, it would be worth sending in. The quality on those is typically BAD.

    The scrapes on the rim (8:00) might keep this out of a 68 holder. Otherwise, nice!

    Nice coin, but not worth the fees. Spend the money on an Ike Dansco, then start filling it with coins that are nice, but not worth grading.

    Congratulations. My only concerns were the little scratch, the reverse, and especially subdued luster.

    I guess the picture doesn't do the luster justice.

    It's an extremely nice and clean coin.

    Thanks! Still awaiting the TV but the cert page is live https://www.pcgs.com/cert/35495869

    @cladking The original photos were taken with one of my early attempts at axial lighting and I had a tissue over the light source. It showed the surfaces pretty well but not so much the luster. It is a very pleasing satin luster, might be what pushed it to the + grade.

    I'm a little shocked but not a bit surprised.

    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.
