MAD Eisenhower - 1972 D $1 Obverse Misaligned Die

No Ike is not Angry or going MAD..
​

Here is a nice example of a Misaligned Die Strike on a $1.00 Eisenhower that I acquired recently. Shown are both the Obverse and the Reverse.. Enjoy

Nice, but IMO, not enough of a misalignment to warrant a premium or a slab.

 

Nice coin...IMO, grade and attribution would be the same at the other three major services.

 

Minor or not, its nice to see a MAD on something other than a cent.

 

I've never seen one of these slabbed. The cost of grading and error attribution really isn't worth it.

However, that is a nice MAD.

 

wow, a 180 degree rotation, even on an Ike, neat

 

True but NGC's grading fee's for Mint Error's is HALF of what PCGS Charges.
HALF!

As for the OP's coin, congrats! That's a nice error.

 

Just a note...I have seen many, many, many...you get the point..."worthless coins in slabs. I'm not referring to the OP coin. Wish it were mine. Also, bet it is worth at least $100 but what do I know. Anyone here know the price it would bring?

Collectors come in all sizes and wealth. Last week I saw a bunch of SILVER MELT Mercury dimes (VF to XF 1940's era P mint) and circulated XF 1970's era Kennedy's in 2nd tier slabs! Clearly not worth slabbing except for one "poor soul."

 

@Insider , I haven't seen a MAD Ike sell, but MADs usually don't get a large premium, because they are common (less so on Ikes, but still not an error worth much of a premium). Cents and dimes are extremely common, and will sell for a buck or less. Even quarters are common, and will sell for a couple/few bucks. If I were bidding on the Ike, I'd offer no more than about $5 above bid for the MAD - so I'd top out at $5-$10 on the coin.

 

Thanks, I thought dollar errors were very uncommon. IMO, most (non-variety) AU Ike's are spending money or gifts to kids. I would expect this coin to bid $1 + at the least $75 (?) for the uncommon error. I don't specialize in errors but looked in FW's (museum) case at the FUN show. His error Ike's (much more major than this) were priced accordingly. Anyway, I cannot recall ever seeing a MD Ike in the past just OC's. Perhaps I have not seen any because they are practically "worthless" as you wrote.

In my ignorance, if I saw the coin under $50 in a case I would buy it (in my professed ignorance of its value) and feel that I could easily sell it for a profit. Yeah, yeah even if were only $5 profit

Still waiting to be educated by an error dealer as to the wholesale/retail value this piece

 

I don't mind saying how much I pad for this one.. $80.00
It's just one of those things I just had to have and I'm happy with it

 

Thanks Paddy, you could have made a quick profit on me

 

never mind, I mis-read the above

 

Believe it or not, $75 is about right. Much more if it had been an MS64 or MS65.

 

Thanks paddyman for showing me that!
