Post An Ike (Eisenhower Dollar)

I am with you on that, There are way too many varieties
in the series that have only been recently discovered
and more being discovered all the time.

Any One need a 1972 P Talon Head About a Grade "C"
There is one up for trade in this ongoing
Thread in the "Post Numismatic Items You Have For Trade Here"
Called My "Red Paper Clip" CCF trade experiment...NUMISMATIC STYLE
A very cool idea for a thread I hope that this is not
considered spamming. I have no financial interest in this
Just thought it was a cool idea for a thread and wanted
to share it with the rest of the Ike Guy's

Mach1 Seems like a fair price if they are in good condition

Yeehad
The Bags are being very very good to you, VERY COOL

Congratulations

Not sure about the ANACS question I have yet to send any coins
in. I sent one coin to be photographed once by a Big Gun
for an article almost a year ago and I have yet to be able to get a response from the guy I sent it to.
So that makes me kind of gun shy to send any more coins out. unless I have sold, traded or given away one.

Chuck,
I think you may be right on target,
I would imagine it would take a little longer to designate a
new variety, Because I would think they would want to consult
with Dr. Wiles to make very certain their information is right.
All the I's dotted and T's crossed before they release it back
to you. Because once they put it out there. It is out there.

Even now I think that your discovery is one of the coolest
I have seen since the 71 S Prototypes
I am constantly on the look out for them.

YeeHa
Thanks Chuck,
I put this into the lulu search COLLECTIBLE IKE VARIETIES
and was able to find both the soft cover and the Hard Cover Editions
I am still trying to find the ringed binder version
They lay better on the desk for me

A very Good day indeed been waiting a long time for this

Terry

Cool Thanks,
Looks like I will end up with two A ringed Binder and a Hard Cover
Can't wait any longer.

Chuck,
Love the look of that coin, looks like it spent a lot of time in that presentation case and picked up some nice toning.
I have seen examples of Doubled Dies with Strike Doubling on them also. If I am not mistaken I have a couple of examples
buried around here somewhere.
I will look through the online photo albums and
see if I photographed one.
The trick for me is if it has split serifs then it is Doubled Die
The pictures I can make out corners of serifs is in picture
six, On the "E" the bottoms of the serifs on the top two arms
of the "E".
And on picture eleven on the Serif of the "T" quite predominantly

The Pegleg "R" is I believe is a Peg Leg with what has become to be
known as a Red Wood Trunk Flair at the bottom. Rob Ezerman and
I had a discussion about one I had found like that and that is what
we ended up settling on.

As far as the presentation case do you have any pictures of all of
the Ike's in the presentation case.
There were I believe a good number of Ike's given as gifts to prominent
people and politicians back when the series first started
before any were released to the public.
Lee Lydston's Prototype I personally believe may have been a trial strike with trial dies given to somebody of importance that
some how made it into a coin show in California 40 years later.

Edited to add: Also there were trial strikes that were done
and passed around to members of congress for inspection
And were supposed to all be returned to the Mint for
destruction. And as we all know Politician do not always
do as they are supposed to. Who knows how many were not returned and were passed down to their children who just
think that they are ordinary Eisenhower dollars.
As we know if you do not know Ike Varieties it is
easy to mistake it as any old ordinary Ike.

That is just one of my thoughts on the Prototype Nobody else's
