At this moment, I am holding 500+ in stock, but I have been screened over 850 IKEs. I would like to share my finding. Your input will be great as I found two or three interesting varieties that hasn't been mentioned in ikegroup.info or elsewhere. Maybe you may know about them. Of course, my prize finding was Tiger claw variety that I found about four months ago. I did post here with pictures, but I would like to show it again. Peg leg was one of fun to find and not all peg legs are same shape. Some of them are straight leg while others are fade due to over polished on die. Here's pictures... Unique double die on bottom of R... Heavy die deterioration on motto... Unique clash, normal it should be downward as jaw clash, but it's upward and distance from lip... Strong clash, but next picture is strong double clashes... Two different die crack from 1978 and 1978-D... Two different die break or CUD...
I am saving the best one for last. Normally, when we find a variety and we haven't find any other coins have same variety. It can turn to one-of-a-kind coin, but not in this case. About two months ago, I found a possible 1971-D reverse feather double die and I can't find anyone mention about it. I keep it aside until last week. I was able to find another 1971-D coin with same variety. First coin was in VF-EF condition, but second one was in MS condition which make me happy. Both coins didn't show any other varieties except DDR feather. Here's pictures... VF-EF MS Thank you for read my post.
Thank you for posting this info and detailed pictures. Very cool! Keep up the hunt. I enjoy your posts when you bulk submit for grades and then post the results.
