Couldn't take this one outta the flip because I ran out

 

Very nice proof. Is that silver?

 

Hi Mrbrklyn-

Thanks! It is clad. Someone before me owned it and broke it out of its proof case. I bought it in a 2x2 and it now currently resides in an album. I really like it...

Thanks for checking it out and have a great day.

You could just take out a staple(s), image it, put it back in, an staple it closed.

 

I'm a sucker for these!

 

Here's another one but its a PegLeg.

 

Here is my Bicentennial S Silver Ike, still in the OGP. Pics aren't that great.

 

Lee, what's the difference between the two golden Ike's above? I have a ton of the shiny golden, but only a few like your's.

Also, is this one just circulated and lost some of it's color?

 

Gold can be plated in different ways. Shiney gold is generally with a hard fast electro plate while the duller gold is a slower plate.

I've got one which looks like it was anodized instead of electro plated.

Yes. If plating is not done properly or is too thin, it wears off rather quickly.

Doesn't matter to me though as I buy each one of these I see.

Some day, I'll have enopugh for a 1/10 of an ounce!




Not !

 

Probably a stupid question, but do you have each year and mint mark?

 

No. 1972 and the BNiCentennial's seemed to be popular years. I suspect that 1972 was popular after the disappointment of the general public that the new Eisenhower Silver Dollars didn't contain any silver and the BiCentennials simply because the BiCentennial Celebration had all kinds of different folks offering different kinds or celebratory memorabilia and what could be better than a "special" gold Eisenhower Dollar?

 

Mike and Ike just broke up. THey are no longer friends.

 

This is an IKE that I threw in my silver junk box. I had it for several years but always went back to it because it looked funny. I sent it to Tom K. for his oppinion and he sent it off to ANACS. This is what it came back as. There are a couple of contact marks that wouldn't be an issue had I not thrown it into the junk box. Still graded nicely. Joe

 

Hello

What is all that jargon on the slab mean?

Amanda

 

NICE. I agree with below

I second the motion! Is that Triple Die Obv and Rev?
AND
I would love, love, love close up pictures of what makes this a "first reported".

 

Ok, let me try to explain this as best as I could and maybe Lee can jump on and clarify any place where I am wrong.

Members of the IKE Group have been for years looking for new and interesting varieties, both proof and unc. Once such collector who is not an active member on the IKE Group as made it his life long goal to identify all the different die combinations associated with the proof ikes. As some of you may know, 1971 was a big year for Doubled Die IKES. THere were a lot of them. Some were more extreme than others and command more money. This person whom I mentioned above has put together a compliation of all the different die combinations used for the proof ikes. Obviously, more are being found all the time. So with that being said, this individual has come up with their own identification numbers to identify each die used. IDDDO and IDDDR stand for IKE DOLLAR DOUBLED DIE (OBVERSE or REVERSE) and the numbers correspond to the individual dies. This is the first known combination between the 63rd noted obverse die and the 42nd reverse die also known as a die marrage. His site can be found here http://www.ikedollardoubledie.com/ So this is not a major variety, but is still unique to the IKE Doubled Die research. I wish I was able to really zoom in and show the detail, but I don't have that capability. The doubling on the obverse is pretty obvious, but not so much on the reverse.

I hope this helps a bit. Joe
