Just got this one tonight.(seller's pics) I like it.

 

Very nice.

 

WoW!!!!!!

One killer toned PR-68+UCam Ike!:thumb:

 

I think I posed this before, but here's my toned Ike of the same type. Yours is even nicer! LOVE those hazy blue-golden neon Ike Proofs--Yours is such a keeper! Great grab!

 

My only Ike, it was a bonus from a dealer.

 

I like free bees to!! if I sell you a coin from my shop.I have Bu 1971-77-P+D I give as change back.

 

The thread seems to be 99% Ikes. Anyone answer me this Please: Is there a 1976 Eisenhower Type 2 silver proof?
If not, what is that listing on page 228 of the 2012 Red Book? I've read many critiques on the Ike Proofs and all say that only a 1976 type 1 silver proof exists. Yes there were some made but they were all destroyer except for two coins.

No, only type 1's as far as I know.

 

Update!!!!!!
Anacs will grade your Brown Box Ike's in there holders, just like they will for GSA Morgan Dollar's:thumb:

 

First Ike I've ever bought.
I used to have no interest whatsoever in Ikes, but after lurking around this thread since it was created, they've grown on me quite dramatically and rapidly.

 

Hard to see if it is a 72-D or a 72-S and congrats on catching the ike bug i feel they are far underrated....​

 

It's an S

 

Nice coin....

 

Very nice Ike!

Congrats, the 1972-s has a variety known as a "Shadow Ike". Read more here: www.ikegroup.org ..

I have some good news and some bad news for you. First the good news- From what I can see, I believe you've done really well your first time out and have a "Shadow Ike" meaning it's probably worth twice what you paid already. The bad news- You're gonna need to go ahead and send it to me. Thanks in advance!

 

Thanks for the info and the link Irish. And Sorry this Ike will be staying with me for a while so I won't be able to send it to you.

 

Zeke,
Some great info can be found in Scott Schechter and Jeff Garrett's book, titled "100 Greatest US Modern Coins". In the first edition, page 16-17 there is a great write up about this coin. According to them, only one example is known to exist. As to why every year it continues to be included in the Red Book is a mystery as there are only one of these coins.

This series is still in its infancy and I would not be surprised if there are more out there that have not be discovered.

 

I think they minted them and then melted them

 

There is at least one, that I know of, 1976 40% Silver BiCentennial No S Proof coin which has the Type 2 reverse. It's definitely a rarity but its rarity does not revolve around the Type 2 Reverse. It revolves around it being a "No S" Proof coin 1st and the Type 2 Reverse 2nd.

If I might direct you across the street:

This is the wonderful thing about the Eisenhower Dollar. Since nobody looks at them, rarities continue to be found.
