<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jaceravone, post: 1417609, member: 9474&quot;]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. </p><p><br /></p><p>Members of the IKE Group have been for years looking for new and interesting varieties, both proof and unc.&nbsp; 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.&nbsp; As some of you may know, 1971 was a big year for Doubled Die IKES.&nbsp; THere were a lot of them.&nbsp; Some were more extreme than others and command more money.&nbsp; This person whom I mentioned above has put together a compliation of all the different die combinations used for the proof ikes.&nbsp; Obviously, more are being found all the time.&nbsp; So with that being said, this individual has come up with their own identification numbers to identify each die used.&nbsp; IDDDO and IDDDR stand for IKE DOLLAR DOUBLED DIE (OBVERSE or REVERSE) and the numbers correspond to the individual dies.&nbsp; This is the first known combination between the 63rd noted obverse die and the 42nd reverse die also known as a die marrage.&nbsp;&nbsp; His site can be found here <a href="http://www.ikedollardoubledie.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ikedollardoubledie.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.ikedollardoubledie.com/</a>&nbsp; So this is not a major variety, but is still unique to the IKE Doubled Die research.&nbsp; I wish I was able to really zoom in and show the detail, but I don&#039;t have that capability.&nbsp; The doubling on the obverse is pretty obvious, but not so much on the reverse.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I hope this helps a bit.&nbsp; Joe[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
