<p>[QUOTE=&quot;19Lyds, post: 1961158, member: 15929&quot;]Here&#039;s another cool story.</p><p><br /></p><p>While visiting the same bank as post #56, I asked if they had any Eisenhower Dollars.</p><p><br /></p><p>The teller pulled out 3 coins. A 1971-D, a 1972, and a 1973.</p><p>I checked the 71-D for the Friendly Eagle variety. Not.</p><p>I checked the 1972 for a Type 2. Another not.</p><p>I looked at the 1973 which appeared to be a D mint that was in pretty good shape. I&#039;ve gotten many 1973 Eisenhower coins in the past at face or close to face value in the past and had to decide whether or not I wanted just one more.</p><p><br /></p><p>I decided to purchase all 3 coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>When I got home, I examined the 1973-D.</p><p><br /></p><p>It turned out to be...................a 1973-S. It was not a worn proof coin but was in fact, as validated by NGC, one of only 3 known off metal 1973-S Eisenhower Dollars. The 1973-S Business strike coin was supposed to be minted on 40% Silver.</p><p><br /></p><p>After verification and grading, I sold the coin to a collector for upper mid 4 figures.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
