The only thing really interesting about this one are the light striations across both the obverse and reverse of the coin which are created from being pulled through the rollers that feed the blanking machine.





I've seen this on other IKE's but never a 1973-D Mint Set coin.

 

When i get my 1st ill post a pic

the roller lines reminds me of the 1971-S I posted 5 or 6pgs back

 

A decent 1971-D with a Talon Head Die Clash and a little bit of
a Jaw Line Die Clash on the reverse
Just thought I would share

How do you distinguish the roller lines from light scratches from a jewelers cloth? They look similar to me. Just not in a circular pattern that hairlines normally show.

 

Simple.

The lines are relatively uniform and straight. They continue across the entire surface including up the faces of the devices. A scratch applied to the coin will miss the deep recesses of the devices whereas a scratch imparted prior to minting will exist in those recesses.

 

Here's the latest purchase.



Certainly not the prettiest of IKE's but one of the more unusual in that these were only available in US Mint Sets which would have added an additional couple of sets of QC eyes!

 

Here's another recent acquisition which, as a straight clip, is considered scarce by Fred Weinberg. Too bad it has some serious scratches on the Obverse and Reverse as it will never grade but I'm gonna get it into a genuine holder just for the showcase anyway.

 

WoW! and in such awesome condition!!

.......very envious...

 

Haven't seen too many 1975 Ikes posted yet

 

That's Daniel Carr's latest Fantasy coin isn't it?

 

I think this would be a killer Ike proof, but the reverse is starting to spot. The spike on Ike's neck is just some foreign matter that is between the plastic and the coin.

 

That IS a beautiful Proof collector.

 

Whoa?????...............I want one!!
but $85-90 for it?? Nah

 

DC did it again. I like it!

 

My local bank had 300 Ike's. I bought them, looked through them, and finally found a 1972 "King of Ikes" type 2 !
It's not the prettiest, but my Ike collection is now complete!

 

Awesome gbroke! You're hitting homeruns lately.

Congrats on the 72 Type 2. Just don't take the other 299 back to the bank!!

 

Thanks. I got a '73-S clad proof as well, but it's probably not quite as nice.

 

How about a Silver 1973.
