Post An Ike (Eisenhower Dollar)

Let me rephrase something...the Nightcrawler as I understand it, would be classified as an ERROR(hubbed through "loose" debris", rarer than "struck thru", as the damage was on working dies...unless it is proved to be an "intentional" mistake...someone at the mint tinkering around, this will never be called a true Variety, and, inclusion in a Variety set probably unlikely...they never did "prove" anything about the Wisconsin "Extra Leaf" 25c,(error, or, speculation was a purposeful addition by mint worker, yet, TPG's call this a Variety as High Extra Leaf--Low Extra Leaf"...may be apples and oranges, but, does leave open a big door for how the Nightcrawler will go down in history, and, be classified.

Like.


Very nice!


I disagree. It is a die variety, since every coin struck with that die will have the same image. It is not a die error because the difference occured during hubbing, not during die use.

I could be wrong, so discussion is welcome.

Here is the progress so far on my NOS Capital Plastics Holder from 1976:

I picked up 95 Ikes from a tellers tray while dumping on the way home from work.

She had 35 gold dollars and 5 Ikes in her tray so I said I'll take all of your dollar coins. So she proceeds to go to 3 different stations and pulls out 95 Ikes and 68 small dollars.

Sometimes...you get lucky enough to own a masterpiece...whether in fine arts, silver, old books, or, whatever YOU enjoy, there is a item that is on top of the pedestal...this one-of-a-kind Ike dollar wrong metal error is now in my collection...close-up inspection reveals a T-II reverse...struck on a clipped 1 cent planchet....now..off to find one on a 5c............

My Ike set is coming along nicely..
I only need 8 more to finish the entire set.
