[QUOTE="cpm9ball, post: 3699673, member: 24633"][USER=106854]@ja59[/USER] Welcome to the neighborhood, Jim! If I recall correctly, the Mint produced two Ike dollars at the San Francisco Mint in 40% silver. One, called the Brown Ike, came in a[B] (drum roll please!)[/B] brown box and was a proof coin. The other, called the Blue Ike, came in a[B] (drum roll please!)[/B] blue envelope and was an uncirculated coin. The SF Mint also produced a copper/nickel clad dollar in proof only. There are two varieties for these coins.[B] Variety 1[/B] has bold print on the reverse, and [B]Variety 2[/B] has delicate print on the reverse. Only Variety 1 was used for the 40% silver coins while, both, Variety 1 and Variety 2 were used for the clad coins. From your photos, the one on the left is Variety 2 (delicate print), and the one on the right is Variety 1 (bold print), but I can't tell if they are silver or clad. I would have to see the edges.
