All 1976 Type 1 IKEs are of the pegleg variety including the proof coins. The real money would be in finding a serifed R on a Type 1 BiCentennial...
From my standpoint, JP attributed the 1971-S Type 1 Proofs while at ICG. He is a well known expert in identifying and attributing die varieties...
Yes they did but JP Martin was the focus. ANACS does not have any problems in attributing specific Eisenhower Die Varieties unlike PCGS which...
I wish! Ha ha ha! Actually, we specifically chose ANACS because ANACS is not governed by Market Acceptability but by the coin collecting hobby....
Smart move on Leo's part! Did he expound on exactly what he ws thinking of was this an intentional over bid to prevent the coin from ending up...
Looks like leothegreat just turned into leothescrewed! $75.00 for a hammer job? Where's that 8 pounder, we gotta make some money! :hammer:
Very neat coin! If I were inclined to start a Kennedy Error/Variety set, I'd pay a small premium for it as many others would I suspect.
Accurately determining whether or not a copper coin has been cleaned is a very debatable field! I have seen coins body bagged for cleaning yet...
Have you looked yet and if so, what did you find? My absolute, most useful ever tool has been my stereo microscope which I truely believe that...
The misconception that there are no islands on the Type 2 Reverse 1972 coin could not be further from the truth. The truth of the matter is that...

This is an easy book to spot: [IMG] Sample page: [IMG] I also need to add that the DDO-008 is the most impressive IKE DDO that you;ll ever...
Pick up a copy of the Authoritative Reference on Eisenhower Dollars by Wexler/Flynn/Crawford It was released in 1998 but a second release...
Not much premium in the variety at all. There may have been at one time or another back in 1972 afer the differences were discovered, but none...
The serifed version of the R has a glob of metal to the right which trails off to the left. It appears that it was added as an "after thought" to...
These both look like the straight pegleg varieties while the one on top shows some extreme die abrading as indicated by the collapes of the leg...
Typo perhaps since all the 71-S Proofs are Type 2 reverses but the biggie is the 1972 Copper Nickel Clad Type 2. And yes, I have quite a few...
It is kinda weird that the post went unanswered after a couple of years!...
Machine doubling occurs when the coin starts the ejection process before the hammer die has complete cleared the coin or when either the hammer or...
