Check out my new IKE!

Found this one while searching 1971-S Business Strike Rolls!

..

Now before you go screaming Machine Doubling, consider these photos and pay particular attention to the doubling of the eye.

The lips also have a distinct inpression in the upper lip which would not be caused from machine doubling.



Lastly,the R. Ever present and such an indicator. Note the extra image above the actual R. No doubt an impression left over from the first strike.



I'm thinking Double Struck in Collar.

I really don't know errors , but an interesting coin . Could we see a picture of the whole coin ?

Lee, that is awesome! Nice find!

 

Not really a good scan since the surface does not reflect evenly and the scanner is less than forgiving!


The entire profile:



An example of the reflectivity indicating it may have been struck on a rejected proof planchet.

 

Sharp eyes. Nice catch !

 

Very nice find! I like that Ike!

 

This could be a campaign slogan!

Merry Christmas everyone!

The coin was found in a roll this is not a busisness strike apparantly this was taken out of the mint set ,because the S mints were only found in the Proof sets or the mint sets not intended for cirulation.

The coin does exhibit machine doubling on the date as far as the profile that's questionable. I do see raised images and not flat shelf like surfaces on the profile, but I would have to examine the coin to come up with a finale conclusion that's it's a doubled die

I indicated in red the Machine doubling on the one. I indicated arrows in red on rhe profile possible a doubled die I also think the coin is misaligned about 2 percent no big deal. I do believe this is a proof it has a mirror like surface from the pics. I think you have profile doubling on this coin it' looks like a doubled die on the profile .

Thanks for your insights Joe but lets get something clear, I've never stated the coin was a doubled die. I said it was doouble struck in the collar.

And to set the record straight, in 1971, the Eisenhower Dollars were NOT in the Mint Sets or Proof Sets as they were sold individually in Blue Packs for the Business Strikes and Brown Boxes for the Proofs.

This coin was indeed taken from a roll of 1971-S Business Strike coins which had been removed from the blue pack cello's just like my Pegleg 1974-S Proof coin was taken from a roll of proofs.

 

Yowsa Yowsa Yowsa. Nice find and great description of your find.
Very best regards,

REal cool! Nice photos, too!

 

it is an interesting specimen. I wish I could get a roll of Ikes from the bank.

These rolls weren't from the bank as I bought them off of eBay as "cut from blue packs" at a rediculous price! However, since I feel comfortable that most collectors do not really examine IKE's, I knew there would be something interesting in those rolls. I was not disappointed and actually pulled out several DDO-004/DDR-021 combination coins and two FS-501 PegLegs. For those who don't know, the DDO-004/DDR-021 coins have some very nice doubling on them.

 

Wouldn't the Islands on the reverse tell whether it was a proof or regular issue struck on a proof like the 72-p?

I'm still new to this figuring out if its DDO or MD, but here's what I saw that looked like more that just MD/(SD?).

 

? You're slipping Isaiah, isn't it a Cast Counterfeit ??

 

There is a difference between a business strike coin struck on a "proof planchet" vs a business strike planchet struck with "proof dies".
For San Francisco, those proof planchets that were not good enough for a proof strike were tossed in with the business strike planchets.
