i just got a big bag of ikes, and ten mins in i found this. the coneca listing has the mid die state with die scratches. http://www.jhonecash.com/research/sunnywood_classification.asp this doesnt so if it is 003, i guess it would be an early die state?
It does look like notching on your picture of TRUST but this could be a product of the photos its hard to see? It could just as well be strike doubling, only you have the coin in hand to make the determination, if you see notching than chances are you found one and maybe you should have it looked at but if it looks flat and shelf like than just strike doubling.
no, its not flat. the triple on the 1 serif looks like a set of three waves with the middle wave being the highest of the three. there are light separation lines on all of IGWT.
so i think this is DDO-001. that is attached to DDR-002. http://varietyvista.com/Variety Master Listings/eisenhower doubled dies.htm#_1972-D_2 DDO-002 is attached to a minor DDR that is only doubled at the stars on the bottom and the craters. this reverse has doubling to all the rim letters, EPU, the stars, and the earth.
:hail::hail::hail:With the extra pics you posted its definitely a double die for sure congratulations:hail::hail::hail:
im thinking it may be DDR-002. it doesnt have any crater doubling on it, and conecas listing says DDR-001 does. would you consider this spread on the reverse medium or light?
another question i have is about grading these 72 ikes. i read it is really hard to do because 71 and 72 were bad years for them. a lot of unc ikes in those two years look like AU ikes from later years. is this true?
That could very well be it. Hard to tell these things without coin in hand. Say riff, what happened to that 1858 Indian you had listed?
