Nice Ikes everyone. Some beauty toners in there. I like to see those!
I have a complete GEM/BU set, but I wanted to show a couple of ones from a group I was able to get at the bank. I swear these have more luster then most of my uncirculated ones. They must have been snagged right out of circulation when they were minted and put away. Out of 300, at least 100 had luster like and great strikes, like these:

 

Nice Ike ldhair!! What's the grade on that bad boy?

 

A Different Ike

I bought ten of these Proof Centennial Ike's in 1990 (Mintage 1,144,461) from the US Mint. My scanner is not the higest quality

 

The last was a 65. This is a 64.

 

I'd like to see fantasy and replica coins made out of materials beside metal. Glass, industrial strength plastic, or even stone.

 

That's ff-topic:.

 

My favorite Ike.
Got it straight out of the blue envelope I bought for cheap.

 

Spotless and beautiful..........great find!

Nice colors so far!!! 5 more years Rainbow toned???then I would have it graded.:kewl:

 

Weird huh?

It's PCGS's scanner photo used with the Secure Plus Submissions. ( 16057816 )

 

I don't think anyone's posted a 10-sided Ike yet...



This is from the October 1976 article in Coinage magazine. At the time the Mint was planning on a new smaller sized dollar coin (which ultimately ended up being the SBA dollar) but they were going to simultaneously keep producing the Ike dollar but were going to do so for collectors only and the coin was going to be 10-sided. The Mint also experimented with 8-sided, 11-sided and 13-sided dollar coins in the late 1970s.

Here's a cover pic from the magazine that also shows what the smaller dollar coin could have looked like if they didn't later go for the SBA... wish they would have kept this design!!! Let me know if anyone wants a copy of the articles about the new small dollar or about the 10-sided Ike.

Here are my Proof Ike's.......Love Ike's

 

Thank you for this info. I took a break from coin collecting for a few years around the bicentennial & completely missed hearing about the multi-sided dollar.

 

WOW! Eisenhowers are all pretty awesome, sine they are the last large size dollar coins ever to be minted. But a multi-sided Ike? Amazing!

I want one of those!
