Post An Ike (Eisenhower Dollar)

I was going through some Ike's, re-examining them and I picked up on this 71S Business Strike "Blue Ike" that I must have missed the possibility of being a DDR!


Is this a possible DDR and if so, what DDR#?


Looks like decent notching on some of the letters and stars on the reverse. I can't find any sign of doubling on the Obverse.
Also got this listed on the Ikegroup forum for help.

* Just sent pics etc to DR Wiles( CONECA) I'll post his response etc.*

Top Right Star- under Eagles wing/Left of America

Third Star/ Left of America

One additional picture on the 71s possible DDR.

I just found this cluster of raised die dots from a pitted or rusted die above the N in ONE and to the left of the main crater on the reverse. Hopefully this should narrow down what DDR this coin could be.

Some nice Ike's here. I'll have to see if I can get a picture of one up..

Terry:

I have to admit, I was kind of surprised with Dr Wiles answer, as I've seen others that are listed and not as prevalent with notching that this coin has.

That being said, however, I'm not about to question Dr Wile's reasoning on this, that's for sure!

Anyway, getting back to latest finds, today I found a 71S SILVER! Uncir in one of the $100.00 bags and in another bag I found a real nice 1776-1976 P Type 1 in Mint State, but this coin below made my day!

A High Mint-State 1973D!

I still can't believe this was in one of the bags and not banged up etc! A lot of mint luster is still on this one.

I come across IKEs on occassion and I always pic them up. they are always circulated. What the heck am I suppossed to do with these? Should I just hold on to them? Is there any value in them if they ar circulated?

There are new varieties being found in the Eisenhower dollar
series quite often. And there are quite a number of
very interesting varieties already in the series.
I found two varieties just last week in my own collection
that are both the second coins of there particular variety
to be found.
1974 S Micro "S" Copper-Nickle Clad Proof.
1972 S 40% Silver with die trails.
Very interesting day that was. But that is the way it tends to
happen with the Eisenhower dollar series. The discoveries
and ability to find examples of the Ike varieties is not
the exclusive domain of the big coin collecting experts
You just to have a decent magnifying glass and a treasure
hunters curiosity and passion for coins.
Without the passion why would you even want to bother.

Chuck is right the http://www.ikegroup.org/
is ground zero for Eisenhower dollar research and they are a
great group of collectors with a passion for Ike's

I wish you the best of luck with your coins

Chuck, Nice Job
It definitely looks like the same one as the first one you
found just a later die state like mine.
Not much left of the die marker between the "T" and the "R"
but there is enough there to identify it.
Very Cool. I like the price also.

CONGRATULATIONS

Terry
