I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom I provide, then question the manner in which I provide it. I prefer you said thank you, and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon, and stand to post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to!

    Looks like a nice coin with the classic Brown Pack Ike toning scheme. It seems to me that the issues for 1974 toned better than 1971-1973, but this might not reflect the observations of others.

    I'm with ya Tom! Some of the 74-S Proofs really toned up nice. I have a couple that I have picked up along the way. The only trouble is getting them slabbed. Its possible as I have a couple but its really difficult from what I hear.

    72-S is the other year that can get some nice toning but its mainly the 74's.
    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.

    I REALLY like it! And I bet PCGS will holder it as the toning pattern is typical of silver 74's still in Gov't plastic a;though I have not seen such rich, creamy golds before.

    Maybe ship to PCGS as is, let them crack it out? I'd pay $100 for it in a heart beat as is but it could get considerably more in a PCGS holder IMHO. Rob

    MM, looks good. Now, to photograph, if you move the camera to the right (get it out of the field reflection) and place a black surface in front of the coin to reflect in the fields I'll bet that you will see something that looks like this.

    Maybe they would and maybe they wouldn't. I have a couple of sweet 74 toners that I had asked gandjai about and he indicated that even though they are still in the plastic, sometimes PCGS just doesn't grade them. As with anything thats toned, its more or less a crap shoot!
