Very much... it's not an ultra-cam.... and would still be high if it were.

jmp81 · August 2, 2002 2:19AM

I think so. This one looks better.

Could it be the lighting conditions?

How do you like this one?:

The link for the previous message

It's OK. Not my kind of toning, though.

Placid · August 2, 2002 2:27AM

They both are nice

I thought that pice seemed out of line, thanks.

Pssst... cheap rainbow Ike.

The 74-S silver proof is the easiest of all Ikes to find with nice toning, apparently something different with the gov't packaging or processing of that year.

The toning on R&I's coin, the PCI coin, and the link I just provided are all found that way within the gov't packaging.

With all due respect to R&I, if that's the nicest toned Ike they've seen they need to get out more.

A nice coin, but see my icon for a nicer one (which is not gov't toning, btw).

I use Novus Plastic Polish #2, I paid I think $2.00 for a 2oz bottle that lasts forever (approximately

). It's a non-volatile abrasive slurry type thing, so no worries about chemicals leaching into the slab like some other solutions (pun intended).

I'm not familiar with the MS69 stuff.

TAP Plastics, Bellevue WA. About 2000 miles from where I now live. Luckily it lasts forever.

I'd look up Plastics in the yellow pages if you live in a larger town, otherwise somebody on the Internet will sell you it I'm sure.

Here's a link to a page about it on the Novus web site. Looks like they sell it too, but for a lot more than in a store.

I was considering using that stuff on the slabs I have since they have some annoying scratches.

"Tap, tap, TAP plastic... the fantastic plastic sto-ooore!"

If this cheesy radio jingle sounds familiar, that's the place.

Never seen an Ike with nice toning, maybe some day, but I doubt it.

relayer · August 2, 2002 5:09PM

I hope not. I just bid on it

supercoin · August 2, 2002 5:33PM

Don't mind dbldie55, he has an inexplicable compulsion to jump into any thread where someone is admiring an Ike and say something derogatory about it.

Normally he also says he wouldn't pay more than a dollar for it -- hope he's feeling ok.

I wish more collectors felt like dblie55 though (without, of course, being quite so vocal about it). I'd love to see these prices not continue to rise on these!

I don't think I've ever seen or heard of a cheap coin from Rick Tomaska, but I don't think I've ever seen or heard of an ugly/bad coin from Rick either.
