Not mine, I wish. My dealer friend's. One of the workers discovered it in the Brown Ike Set. Years ago. I told her, the owner had better given you a raise! What a find, huh? Exquisite in the most highest form. Whatcha guys think?

Nice! Given it toned in the package how do you prevent it from any further toning?
Very pretty!
There's something you don't see every day....
Wow!
Godzilla Ike!!

He had a $4000 price tag on it. Wouldn't doubt if he gets it too!

I think the seller accidentally added a digit.
$4000? Really?? I am truly out of touch with the market then. Well... Not my money.... Cheers, RickO
Im sorry but i don't think this is NT. I've seen to many examples being gassed in the holder.... IMHO
Not the sort of toning for me. To each their own.
Collector, occasional seller
The toning especially on the obverse looks very suspicious to me.

NGC only shows eight for a top population in the GSA holder. Looking at the previous price realized for a non-GSA, in the same top pop grade but in Ultra Cameo, the four most recent auctions (All from Heritage in 2019) the price ranged from $192-$360 in both NGC and PCGS. Why this should be considered when trying to put a value on the coin in question is popularity in the series, which is growing, and where collectors are drawn. All things equal, with rainbow toned coins as popular if not more with the ultra cameos, a well over premium wouldn't be out of the question. $4,000? A bit high in my opinion. Yet with only eight, half of that would not come as a surprise.
Would sell in an instant for $400. I'd pay it no questions asked.

Yeah guys, He might of placed such a high price thinking he probably doesn't want to sell it?

Ship it into outer space and enjoy.
That is a pretty neat and wild toner. Not something I would want especially with that price tag lol.

Even amazing toning can't make an Ike dollar look good.

It’s funny to me hearing people call this coin AT. I should go get some popcorn.
I can believe that I am the only one that wonders what the coin looked like 25 years ago...
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
not at $4,000 dollars, it isint that good
Is that the one in Great Collections a while back that never had a bid ?
Not sure that would make it through the PCGS Sniffer
Yes, looks beautiful but suspect.

Knee jerk reaction there is someone that will always throw the AT bone out there to appear an expert. It is common for these to tone from the holder (but Carson Cities don’t 🤔) and very nice toning this one just happened to have all its ducks land in a row. The only reason I would pay $400 is because I know someone is trying $4000 and I could sell it much cheaper but that most likely turn into one of my more costly stupid mistakes I mentioned in another thread. I chuckled when I saw AT.
What do people think it’s worth? it’s worth at least $2,200. That’s how much I offered for the coin.
Ikes normally don't get my attention but that's pretty nice.
"When they can't find anything wrong with you, they create it!"
That's different ... it's head turning.
Looks like someone took the coin out and put it in a PCI holder for a spell, then put it back in the original holder.
It's nice but not $4K nice.

Not for me. I don’t like the precise border between toned & untoned around the portrait. Looks suspicious. Outside of a GSA holder, nobody would trust that look.
Very nice toning....better than many nicely toned 1974 S silver proof Ikes - the most commonly toned proof Ikes in the series.
At $4000, it would be about 125x price guide for pf69. Nope. Maybe 10x to 15x, but not 125x.
I would expect that for a toned Ikes collector, nicely toned Ikes in the other proof dates would be a harder find than a nicely toned 1974 S silver proof Ike.
That said, this one was a great find.

Sorry, but I think it is ugly! I would not pay over melt for it.
The obverse reminds me of a 2005-S Silver Proof set I bought 6 years ago at the TN state show. The obverse of the Lincoln proof had some great color and swirl.
I have looked at a ton of toned moderns over the last five years, and there is no harsher critic than I am. The color on this Ike looks like it is embedded in the luster on both the obverse and reverse. Doctored examples usually have the appearance of the color laying on top of the luster. Rotating this one in the light would reveal a real pop of color and it would be deep. I like it for being naturally toned but would caution the owner that it may continue to tone and not always in a good way. A trip to PCGS and get it out of that packaging and in to an inert holder is what I would do. And don't forget to pay for the TrueView. It will be a stunner I'm sure.

Especially how theres a 2nd rainbow toned band in the background. Also notice how perfect the circle is of the colors idk maybe it was NT at first then helped along the way.
Store in a low humidity SDB or safe. Not in a humid basement in Texas, like the MS68 1804 Dollar.
I think that's in the ballpark of its value. Don't think the seller wants to part with it short of a massive overpayment if he declined your offer.
"It's like God, Family, Country, except Sticker, Plastic, Coin."
I only buy coins for my sets that I need or that upgrade a coin in my set.
I see many coins that are for sale that PCGS has deemed "questionable color".
I will never pay for a coin just because it is toned ( Nt or At).
Not knocking those who do.
