Post An Ike (Eisenhower Dollar)

I absolutely understand about the business strike proof
planchet thing. I had never heard of such a thing and had no
idea they existed. I was going through a bunch of Ike's
I had picked up and one of the 71-D's just looked different
extra shiny and incredibly clean fields and devices.
It did not have any of the marks on it that actually
look like tears in the metal to me. (Annealing marks
I came to learn)But the finish did not look like the other
71-D's I had gotten out for comparison.
Everything about it looked cleaner more like a proof finish.
I could see die wear lines where the die had worn down
to what I recollect was mid die state. Then I remembered
about the accidental shipping of silver planchets and them
getting into business production runs.
I thought maybe they shipped out proof planchets that were
not quite up to quality for proof production
but could be used in the regular business production run.
I also have found 72-D's struck on proof planchets
Just another piece low hanging fruit

Chuck,
Congrats on the second 72-D 1/1
And let me just say the photography is great

From the last two photos from what I can see
all I can say is WOW. Beautiful Clean Fields and Devises.
Not a lot of nicks and dings like I see an a lot of Ike's
Wonderful looking coin

I was going over this 73S Brown Box Proof Ike and I noticed some nice doubling on the motto "IN GOD WE TRUST" on the Obverse.

On the Reverse, is this legit doubling on the 2 LL'S of DOLLAR and the R?

Any idea as to what DDO/ and or DDR this 73s might be?

I don't have a ARED book and not sure if its the 1973S-SP FS101.

Has many features of it being this coin, but?

Thanks for any help,

Chuck.

Chuck,
I am not sure sure about the 73 being a 101
I seem to have miss placed my ARED.
It happened shortly after the Mrs. had the idea that my desk
was messy and she would be a gem and clean it for me.
She is a sweetheart.
I am now in the progress of finding everything
Did you post it on the other side of the Ike world ?
Rob, Brian, Lee, Herb, Bill, Andy and the other guys
would probably have a good idea about it.

Congratulations on the 401
Nice looking coin

Oh yea she is definitely Doubled And nicely too

Just not sure if it is a 101 with out my ARED

Ahh the smokin hot days of summer, It is even too hot to get out
on the motorcycle today. So I was digging through some things. Looking
for anything interesting to work on and ran across a couple of these.
When Was the last time we have run across this book in unused condition?
Wonder what grade it would go

Terry

Chuck,
Yea they are definitely hard to find. Just after I posted on here
I got to thinking. (Scary Thing so the Mrs. says. )
I have my working copy and another mint copy besides the one
I posted. Shoot me an e-mail and I will fill you in
