Post an Ike

About how much should I expect to pay for a 1000 coin bank bag of Ikes that has never been opened since the bank received them?

That is one old slab!

 

I would like to know if there is a post or web site that shows type 1,2,3 1972 Ikes side byside or close enough to to see the differance, also the varieties of the 1976 as well. I have seen pictures of the talon head, and also the peg leg though I am still not sure about that one. I normally give my Ikes to my nephew but I have decided to put a set together and would like to know how to make sur eI get the 32 coins considered a set a also some of the varieties or errors out there. I have searched through this this forum and learned a lot but it is spread out and there is little in the way of photo grading shown on here. I don't want to take up a bunch of post with questions so I tried to ask them all here. Thanks for sharing your pics and knowledge with an Ike novice.

Here you go.



The concentration is on the configuration of the earth on the reverse.
However, each of these "Types" appear on the Silver Business Strike coins with:

Type 1 = 1971-S Silver Business Strike
Type 2 = 1972-S Silver Business Strike
Type 3 = 1973-S Silver Business Strike


Type 6 is found only on 1971-D Cn Clad Business Strikes.

Talon Heads.

Talon Heads are primarily found on Denver Coins but can be found on the S mintmark Silver Business Strike coins. A few Philadelphia coins also display small talons. BTW, the Talons are not really talons but actually the deep recessed area between the eagles legs. If you look at it closely, you can see that this recessed area extends very deeply into the coin. What this means is that this area is the "highest" point on the die. When the dies clash together, this area leaves an impression on the ovberse die that looks like a Talon. Some folks are known to call these "Thorn Heads". There is also a Morgan Thorn Head so it can get a bit confusing.



These "talon marks" come in double and triple configurations depending upon die position when the clash occured. As you may or may not know, there is movement of the press during the striking of a coin. This movement accounts for the double and triple talon heads as well as a die being repaired, reinstalled in the press and then suffering from yet another clash.

Close Double:



Here's a 1971-S Silver Business Strike.


Since the coins go through a repair at the mint and then get put back into service, Talon Heads can also have pegleg R's. All you gotta do is keep your eyes open and eventually you'll run across some.

 

Thanks for all the help I am going to purchase some Ikes if I get some good ones I'll post some pics.

 

Here is a new acquisition: a 1971S Peg Leg. :smile TC

 

Dang

Great Thread. Gonna have to spend the day looking through my stash. ThanX~:hail:

 

2 new one I picked off ebay for $11.00/sh$1.99. and there still sealed.but have not had time to ck out the 71 yet.

 

Ck this one out. it looks like San Fran was reusing die. was this a proof die polished to a mint-stage die???

 

Very Cool coin Jello,
I am not sure if they reused the proof dies for Business strike production
but I do not see why not. It has been learned recently that they used the
same working die for the 1974 S Proof Silver's and Cuni Clad's.
It also could be a Proof Planchet used in the Business Strike production
line. I have more than one specimen of the 1971-D and 1972-D Struck on
Proof Planchets. If the Proof Planchets could make their way into the
Denver Circulation Strike Line, why not into the Silver Business Strike line
at San Francisco.
Might try posting it on the Ike Group site or see if Lee chimes in on it
here. He is very knowledgeable about these things.

Ike's were the first set I put together as a collector...was a total newbie....better now, but not an expert by any means. Here are a couple of my better coins....looked great to me at the time, still nice, but not like some of the ones posted in this thread. Love the proof coins, however, I still can't take a good picture of them...any ideas for improvement?

 

howboutatrade;

I can see your lens and camera body in the coins reflection. Try using black construction paper with a hole the size of your lens and shot through it. It might get a lot of that reflection off your image.

 

Had to do a double take on the mint mark on on this one to make
sure it as a Denver Ike. It has the look and feel of a 71-S Blue Pack Ike
right down to the bag marks:too-funny:

PVC?? or just bagged &tagged ten thrown around?dd::kewl:

 

Jello,
Not quite sure what happened to this one . I pulled out a PCGS blue box
full of 2x2's to go through during Christmas vacations and this one was still in the
2x2 I purchased it from a coin show last year marked $2.25
I am assuming that is what I paid for it. I just pulled it and photographed
it because of the strange surfaces. Most of my 71-D's do not have that
silvery finish look.
I thought it was a 71-S Business strike 40% when I first
looked at it.
Saw the mint mark and immediately checked the edge
No such luck of it being a silver planchet:too-funny:
