They are both very nice Ike's.
The bottom one looks to be silver more than the top, which looks clad; but as you have taught us, pics can be mis-leading.
Top 67
Bottom 68

I have no clue on Eisenhower coins. However, from what I see, I would grade the top as 66 and the bottom as 65. Maybe I am missing something, but why grade Eisenhower coins? Isn't grading beyond the value of this issue?

Actually Steve W., these coins in high MS grades fetch hefty premiums (hundreds to sometimes thousands of dollars). These two coins belong to my best friend. He wanted me to photograph them and post them in a grading discussion on here to get a better idea about which one is truly the better of the two. These two coins are separated by only one grade. It would be great if a few others would offer opinions before I reveal the grades. Remember, these grading posts can be very beneficial in learning how to grade coins, especially coins such as the Eisenhower Dollar that are not seen very often as graded coins.
Thank you!

Money,
I just found a 1976 $1 Eisenhower PR 69 from PCGS for $32 on Ebay. That does not impress. Are the S minted coins more valuable?

These in the grading discussion are mint state coins, not proof coins. They are the 40% silver versions. Yes! This means everything.

Hi!,
The top looks like a much better defined strike and I'd grade it from the picture as an MS67; the bottom one I'd give a possible MS64 to, it being less defined and appearing to have been cleaned. I wish that some day this issue would pick up interest as the last of the cartwheel coins; we'll never see coinage this size again, excluding mammoth silver bullion issues. Also, I have about 7,500 of them in bags, bought some years ago at face value in the hopes that they would be "discovered" by collectors. No luck yet!!! All the best, Larry

Larry- Are you aware of the type 2 1972? It's worth a real nice bit of change.

PCGS says 1976 S silver is valuable only at MS 68 and above. Interestingly, some of the clad Ike coins in other years seem to carry serious premiums. The 1972 type II clad prices in 65 and above are crazy. They must have been a very small mintage.

Larry, get into those bags and look for 1972 type IIs. Be sure to wear cotton gloves and don't jostle the coins. LOL Seriously, What is in the bags? Are they miscellaneous and have they been picked over? You have still made some money if you paid face value.

Larry,
You can find clipped planchets, off-center strikes, double and triple strikes, and other errors in the bags you have. Be careful handling them.
I can assure you that neither of these coins has ever been cleaned as I saw them in the original mint packaging before they were submitted for grading.

Larry could have Christmas in April with a little luck!
