Strong gems, I don't see any serious limiting factors.
I like them all. All 3 should grade 65+.
I like the Sesqui. Hard to find like that.
Oh, I don't have the required discipline to avoid looking up the coins' grades when the cert number is provided.
Sorry.
The Cleveland is probably the nicest in hand. I'm not going to post anymore in hand photos though lol
Gorgeous gems
65+
66
65
Holy smokes, absolutely beautiful colors !!!
I thought they might grade a little higher, but not a big deal. It's hard to predict how TPGs will assign a grade since they don't seem to follow a traditional scale. Their 67's look like 65's to me most of the time. Then pricing white vs. color in the same grade is another completely different problem. Fortunately, I don't have a ton in these.
It's nice to enjoy them without the worry of market downturn.
65, 65, 66.
No idea of the grades, but all are totally beautiful!. Man where did you find those?
The sesqui and Cleveland are absolutely amazing.
Well, I bought a group that had some coins that I really wanted and these were with them. lucky me, right?
Those sure are pretty!
Those coins are Sweet!
I'm no professional but I'm seeing.
68
67+
66+
No way to guess a grade through that speckled toning. Loving the Cleveland and Sesqui. ! Congrats!
Yes they are!
The Columbia SC is quite a killer in its own right.
Those usually come dull and ugly as sin.
Ok grade guesses:
66+ on Cleveland. Beautiful.
QC or they hammered you with a head-scratching grade on the Sesqui; 64/64+ maybe. It's either/or on this one.
The blueish purple scared them I am thinking.
Columbia...66+/67- depending on how much they graders know about this issue. That is a great coin.
Quite a trio!
66, 65, 67. I really like the Sesqi, and the tps's are tough on those.
Yes, 66,65,67. The Cleveland should grade higher. Columbia is a little dark, but all three have very minimal marks, and nice strikes. The three do look good together though.
The Sesquicentennial is absolutely beautiful. So hard to find great ones compared to most of the other Classic Commems
Superb color!!!
Ike Specialist
Finest Toned Ike I've Ever Seen, been looking since 1986
I have never seen a slabbed sesqui with those colors; cleveland also looks very unusually toned for the issue
Commems and Early Type
Tough to grade from a picture with that type of toning. But I'm guessing 66 across the board.

The color on that Sesqui is amazing, BRAVO!
Yes. Actually the Truview brought out more color than I really see under normal lighting. I was surprised to see that much color in the Truview. Not so with the Cleveland. The Columbia is as it appears in hand.
Did the Cleveland and Sesqui both come for the same source?
As both have the same exact type of crackle toning.
Both were likely submitted together given the closeness of the certification numbers.
Edited to add: Ready fire, aim. Didn't realise you already posted grades. Wasn't too far off.

Love 'em.
That Cleveland might be the nicest I've ever seen. Love them all. I'd have to see them in hand to guess you a grade.
