<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cpm9ball, post: 2919387, member: 24633&quot;]Dottie, I&#039;m sorry that your (very reasonable) question caused this thread to become mired in a &quot;back-and-forth&quot; argument.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for your Bicentennial Ike, there is only one that I know of that is of any significant importance and that is the &quot;No S&quot; Proof Bicentennial variety. The search for this coin was recounted by Tom DeLorey in the book, <b>&quot;The Authoritative Reference on Eisenhower Dollars&quot;</b> (page 190) which was co-authored by John Wexler, Bill Crawford and Kevin Flynn. Without going into a lengthy account of this story, suffice it to say that a 40% silver &quot;No S&quot; Ike was reported discovered by someone in Washington DC. It&#039;s existence was because the Philadelphia Mint produced the proof specimens of the bicentennial coins (25c, 50c &amp; $1) for a presentation ceremony, but they were supposed to be returned to the Mint afterward because only the San Francisco Mint was supposed to strike proof coins. Apparently, not all of the coins were returned.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
