Post an Eisenhower (Ikes)

Honestly though if you keep your eyes open you can find some nice toners for little to no premium.

Here's my 72 type 2, found in a binder at a small coin show.

 

I like this shot I got of the REV on one of my 71-D FEV's.

 

The toning on my coins is pretty much all photography or either mine or PCGS's TrueView. I don't put much on it since a good photographer can make even the slightest of toning into a jaw dropper.

 

Too bad about the depth of those annealing marks on Dwights cheek! Thats a nice looking coin.

 

My 71 and 72 Ikes.

 

Wow this took off rather quickly. Lots of beautiful coins. Here are my humble 3

 

We lost steam....

 

Double Struck with a Close Overlap.

 

Wow! Do you own this piece?

 

Yup. You've seen it before haven't you Lee? I'm thinking of having PCGS reslab it in a double slab.

I call it my brain ike or zombie ike or scalped ike. Haven't been able to choose which yet lol. I love how he carries his scalp around with him. Reminds me of a story of a mountain man in the old West that was scalped by engines and left for dead but didn't die and for years after he would carry his scalp around and charge a nickle at bars to tell the tale.

I'm thinking of trying to get one of the coin magazines to do an October cover story on it for Halloween and new episodes of the Walking Dead. You think I should persure it? Like maybe coin world? Are there still printed coin magazines?

 

I have loads of Ike's to post. Much more to come.
