Sometime back I purchased twenty assorted Eisenhower 40% silver dollars from a gentleman. Last night, in a fit of boredom, I started looking at them with my loupe and found three coins with minor doubles that I was able to match up on the Wexler site.
While certainly not worth much, if anything, they were my first verifiable doubles and an incentive to keep looking. My cheap USB magnifier/camera has a lot of trouble with focusing on proofs and other highly reflective surfaces, so the photo stinks. I tried for a while to get a decent photo of the splits in the various letters without much success. You can just make them out the tip of the "R" and the star in this photo of a 1971S, though.
Yep, you definitely have a doubled die there. Many Ike dollars were doubled dies. Some of them are valuable. some not. I don't know wone from the other, but I can definitely confirm that it is a doubled die.
you can check the ikedollardoubledie.com site for pics on many 71-S DDO-DDR's...Tom K does all the hard work, and lists each coin by die, which no other attributor is doing at this point...recommended site for Ike's! CG
