odentheviking Valued Member United States 425 Posts	Posted 11/15/2010 12:01 pm Sorry Terry, You are talking way over my head here! I do not collect Ikes so I do not know how to look for these things. As this is a coin I picked up 25+ years ago, I will mostlikely hold on to it, maybe now I will put it in a protective case, but that is about all. I would not mind trading this coin for something I do collect, but I need another 20+ posts to be able to do that. Thanks for all the help forum. Paul. Report this Post to the Staff

It is a site where there are some great guys that have a tremendous love of the Eisenhower dollar series. http://www.ikegroup.org/ Terry Report this Post to the Staff

I found one that does have a line in the field on the reverse resembling the moon below the egal. Also it has only 1 color on the rim instead of the regular copper and clad.

I have found a total of three Gold Platted ikes. It has some heavy marks on it but it is a lot better than what other ikes I've seen. no mint is Philly. D is Denver. S is San Fransisco. The Rainbow Casino Plated a whole bunch of Ikes in 24k gold. They are pretty common in my book, but they are close to me. I doubt this one is/was though. Quote: .8 oz's just like my other modern dollars, my older solid silver ones come in at 1oz. on this scale. This scale tends to round up. Grams would be more precise. A silver Ike should be around 24.59g, a clad one is around 22.67g. I doubt this one is silver. It could be toning, but I have yet to see a BU Ike with a gold rim. I have seen quite a few that the rims have been colored silver/white/gold in (what I assume) is an attempt to pass them off as silver. Quote: Hey Stewart, what do you mean by moonline on the 72 one dollar? I found one that does have a line in the field on the reverse resembling the moon below the egal. Also it has only 1 color on the rim instead of the regular copper and clad. The area of the moon where the circle is flat instead of completely round is different on all three types. It's easier to look at the islands in my opinion. Edited by Gincoin43 08/04/2019 12:35 am Report this Post to the Staff
Bret Pillar of the Community United States 1913 Posts	Posted 08/04/2019 09:40 am odentheviking, be sure to hold coins by their edges. If you don't, there's good odds that in the future you'll find an image of your fingerprint on them. Of course this applies mostly to uncirculated and proof coins, but it's good to be in the habit regardless of what coin you're holding. Report this Post to the Staff
