Any Ike in MS67 and MS68 is a VERY nice addition to
a collection. Hard to find in those high grades.
Congratulations Nelrak

Just arrived in the mail this afternoon!

I won this Ike on ebay a few days ago.

1971S PCGS-MS64

Silver Peg Leg FS-401

This is a FPL (Fading Peg Leg) with no doubling on the Obverse (Common) but is a Doubled Die Reverse.

Ref: Chapter 10 of the Ike Book*

Here are a few pics of some of the doubling on the reverse by the letter S in states and the Islands.

There is quite a bit of doubling on the reverse.

Congratulations Chuck
Great find

Love the doubling on the reverse

Congrats on the bag find Chuck
I love finding those varieties in the wild like that.

Looks fairly clean for coming out of a bag VERY COOL.

I personally think the 1972D DDO-001/DDR-001
is one of the more exciting Ike Doubled Dies
out there just because even with my 50 year
old eye sight I was able to pick one out
at a coin shop without a magnifying glass
out of a $1.25 Bin of Ikes


I am going to guess that it is LDS (Late Die State)
Just because of some of the VLDS (Very Late Die State)
1971 D's I have that look like a plowed farm field
with the deep wear lines in the surface

Any one else care to guess as to the Die State?

Latest bag finds from Thurs/Friday:

1972P Type 2 (August,die dot present in O of Dollar)












* I also found 4 1971P Ike's that appear to be DDR's, I can see split serifs on the S in StateS and doubling of the islands, but I don't know what DDR this might be.

I do know it's not 1971P-DDR-001.

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks,

Chuck.

Chuck,
First of all Congrats on the Type 2
I take it you have read the estimated mintage's
of these in your copy of the new Ike book
Your Type 2 deserves a double Drool

In your pictures of it I am not seeing the usual
annealing marks that are present on a lot of business strike
Ike's. And the high amount of reflection in the photos
makes me wonder if it looks the same in hand as in the photos.

I have more than one "1971-D Struck on Proof Planchet"
that has these same characteristics.
And if memory serves me,a few 1972's can't remember
right now if they are 72 P or D.
Proof planchets do not exhibit the same annealing marks
as regular business strike coins due to them being
annealed differently.
Business strike coins are annealed in a big drum leading
to a lot of bang marks that are not fully struck out
of the coin in the minting process.
Proof planchets are annealed on a belt and are not banging
into each other. Leading to a finished coin with much less
annealing marks and a much more reflective finished coin.
When coupled with the highly polished proof dies.
Just thought I would share what I noticed on your coin.
You know me when it comes to Ike's
"Question Everything"

As far as the the 1971-P
I absolutely agree with both Brian and Bill on that one
1. it is well worth looking into, Very clean split
on the serif of the "S".
2.that split on the Island looks very familiar.

Congratulations my fellow Ikeaholic
