dinkyblue New Member United States 24 Posts	Posted 01/12/2016 3:13 pm Found this 1973 s silver dollar in a proof set, I'm not sure if it is 40% silver or silver clad set. I don't know how to tell, anyone know? The reverse is doubled. split serif's everywhere, please have a look. I'm looking for information on doubled reverse but can't find anything.Hoping someone has one like this. Report this Post to the Staff

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 01/12/2016 3:26 pm The Ikes in proof sets are cupronickel clad. The 40% silver clad Ikes were sold individually, they are also known as "Brown Ikes" due to the faux woodgrain pattern on the box. It does appear to be a doubled die but I am unable to attribute it.

jbuck Moderator United States 188594 Posts	Posted 01/12/2016 3:37 pm Should be a clad based on the original government packaging (OGP) as given above. You can confirm with the tissue test, which helps when you find them free (outside of their OGP).

dinkyblue New Member United States 24 Posts	Posted 01/12/2016 3:57 pm Thank you "biokemist6" and jbuck, I really like the tissue test, I thought it was nickel clad but was not certain. I can't find any info on it. If someone knows about this coin please let me know, the only one's I have found are double die obverse. Thanks again..............dinkyblue Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/12/2016 8:36 pm Here is how the tissue test works: Place a known silver coin (not a toned one) on the left and place the questionable coin on the right. Lay a single ply tissue over the coins and you will note the silver ones look whiter in color. (This also works in albums to see if you have the right clad/silver coins correct without removing them from the album. Report this Post to the Staff

dinkyblue New Member United States 24 Posts	Posted 01/14/2016 1:58 pm Question: Is it best to leave the coin in the set or remove it and have it graded? What is best? Thanks.......dinkyblue Report this Post to the Staff

Side-by-sides always better clarify most debatable substrates of any nature. Great work Report this Post to the Staff
dinkyblue New Member United States 24 Posts	Posted 01/14/2016 3:12 pm but should I remove it from the set and have it graded or leave it in the set? Report this Post to the Staff

Cascade Pillar of the Community United States 7390 Posts	Posted 01/15/2016 12:09 pm I would become a member of the ikeGroup and post this on their forum. It might take a day or two for a response but the big ike boys hang out there and can give you more solid advise. I wouldn't do anything until.I know what I'm dealing with. Being in ogp could add value! Or not? Edited by Cascade 01/15/2016 12:09 pm Report this Post to the Staff
