biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 06/16/2015 12:46 pm No, half dollar metal stock refers to Ike-sized blanks being punched out from metal stock sheets with a thickness intended for half dollar blanks. Report this Post to the Staff

Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 06/16/2015 1:25 pm http://numismaster.com/ta/numis/Art...ticleId=6003 Couldn't find any articles about wrong-stock Ike dollars. These types of errors apparently aren't exceedingly rare--I think one of our members on the CRH forum has found several halves on quarter stock--worth about $10-20 from what I recall. The issue is that this is neither a dramatic error, nor a popular denominatuon. Certified by a TPG, it might make you a few dollars more than the cost to certify amd sell it. Also, I'm not sure how it would be possible to prove without getting it certified. Regardless, keep us posted Report this Post to the Staff

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 06/16/2015 1:43 pm An Ike dollar struck on half dollar stock would weigh 17.82 grams so the OP coin is too heavy for that. Rolled thin planchet is almost certainly the answer. Report this Post to the Staff

GR58 Bedrock of the Community United States 11951 Posts	Posted 06/17/2015 10:25 pm Hoping this will be helpful, for wrong stock planchets. As posted above, there have been cases where the wrong stock was used to punch planchets. As listed in the RedBook, there are 1970D Washington quarters minted on the wrong stock. This happened when, one section of the mint was working on quarters, but the section preparing the stock thought they were working on dimes. The one section used a roll of dime stock, cut the bar stock and passed it to the next section. That section punched quarter size planchets. This mistake caused a several thousands of thin/light Washington quarters. When I was younger, many of these were found when vending machines would reject them. I agree with others here, that there is a good chance this Ike was made from the wrong stock. Here are some pics of one of my quarters. Regular quarter 1970D wrong stock Of course a quarter on dime stock, the coin will not be near a full strike. For a Ike, that might be on half dollar or quarter stock the strike would be closer to full strike. Report this Post to the Staff
