I posted this in the Whats it worth section, but no one has yet to respond. I can not find any similar error ikes. I have no idea if its worth grading. Any advice/help much appreciated. The last picture is one side by side of the other. Same type/year/and mint, one without the errors clean to compare. kyrow
Usually, if folks have to ask what the error is (like what I am thinking right now) then there is little to no added value. I have npo idea what you are calling an error.
you can't see the over lap around the coin covering the tops of the letters, or the splatted year, or the splat at the bottom right side of ikes neck?
Is it similar to this Strike Through Ike? I can't really tell from the pictures. Doesn't look to be in Mint condition so I wouldn't think it was worth sending in to have graded. You may find someone on ebay in the errors section that will be willing to put a few dollars toward it if you take some better pictures.
Sorry for the bad pics, I'm new to taking pictures of coins. That is awfully close to the one I have, though no mark on bottom right of his neck. Thats a good start though, appreciate the info. Is that a "71"? Its hard to tell.
Yes, 1971-P. It's uncirculated, but has a lot of bag marks. I have often wanted to submit it, but since I plan on keeping it I haven't really gotten around to doing so. It would probably only come in around MS-63.
So often, someone posts a photo of a suspected error and doesn't take the time to explain what he/she sees in the first place. It does simplify things for the reader instead of making them play a guessing game. Chris
I'm just not "seeing" anything that would be considered an error much less something which might have a premium associated with it. Typically, CnClad Esienhower Dollars that have some type of anomoly only command premiums if they are of a high grade. Your coin appears to have some type of damage on the edges, possibly from a slot machine since the coins were widely used in slots. At any rate, you could always submit it to CONECA for their opinions since they are the true error experts.
The Ikes were not widely used in slots. Morgan & Peace dollars were because they were silver, but when the Mint went to clad coinage, most of the casinos removed the Morgan & Peace dollars and started replacing them with gaming tokens. Chris
