I think that you are correct. fatter then normal letters and split serifs.
Have you tried to match it up with any other known attributes?

I honestly am not that familiar with Ike dollars. I know there have been some attributes. I haven't found anything similar but haven't really dug in. Got this coin yesterday and noticed. Guess I have some reading to do haha. |

Could be WHO-001 as Dearborn said. Neat find.  Errers and Varietys.

Are you sure that this is a business strike? the reverse looks like proof surfaces and squared rims. Perhaps an impaired proof?

I considered it but it is a type 1 reverse and I'm not that lucky lol! Rims are square though.

I completely overlooked the style of earth. You are indeed correct with type 1 so that does make it a business strike. VV only lists a couple of business strike DDO's but many others in proof. Best of luck matching yours up. |

I'm going to a coin show in December so I'll bring it along and see what the people way more experienced than me say. Fingers crossed. I will say that the closest I was able to find to the doubling was on a proof. But again, not an expert remotely on Ike dollars. |

Remember when going to a coin show most dealers are interested in selling and buying coins very few care to much about errors. Unless there are major errors. Which this coin is not.a very nice find though. What I'm trying to say is unless the dealer is very well versed in error coins I would treat comments about your coin with a grain of salt. Good luck

ok, how about this:
take the coin out of that yellowed plastic holder and snap some pictures of it for us. BUT use the link I gave you above and do your best to match the image VV has so we can compare it to your coin.
in other words, let us help you out, and you can learn something in the process about attributing errors on coins.

I tried the link but I think the site was down at the time. I'll try again. I'll try to post some better pictures and didn't know if you wanted the full coin.   |
