Not really. It is on the long list of ideas though. That being said, I do have one. It was a gift from Darth:  1971-S 40% Silver Eisenhower dollar Proof DDO

Jbuck, very nice Ike and DDO! Doubled Dies are very fun to collect. You might want to think about it, since it's cool. I collect errors and varieties. Only thing is I really don't like normal coins as much as messed up ones. I get bored too quickly with normal ones.
Errers and Varietys.

Thank you both! Like I said, the long list. But first, I need to fill the six final holes in my various Dansco albums and complete the extended PCGS Ike set (two 1972 varieties, four 1990 and 2013 commemoratives, and four 2015 Presidential dollars).

Good luck jbuck! Hopefully you can fill those holes soon.

Thanks! The six Dansco holes are pricey. There were seven until I got the Seated dollar last month.

Nice looking Ike. I wish graders had to say why they give the grade they do.
How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash? Download and read: Grading the graders Costly TPG ineptitude and No FG Kennedy halveshttps://ln5.sync.com/dl/7ca91bdd0/w...i3b-rbj9fir2

Quote: Jbuck, do you pursue any of the doubled dies? Oh, he will. He will.  I recently exchanged my current 1976-S PR69DCAM (silver) with this one. I just liked that little odd splash of color. I would like to replace all my proofs with toners eventually. That will take some time and a lot of patience.

Going through an IKE order this week, this 1976-D stands out, and, need some input. The "Blob" on his neck is interesting, in that, at first, I surmised like a splatter of soldering metal(it is raised), but, under my loupe, I see the neck wrinkles are present in the metal, thus, it was there when the blank was coined. Would be sweet to find out it is part of another denomination that landed between the dies, but, that is so rare.... Now, trying to figure out if this is 100% correct, and, if the blob is part of a loose coin remnant, or, chunk of debris..or? Opinions welcomed.

I'm trying to figure out what the anomaly is around the ear area. That is a wicked Ike. I don't know what to make of the blob, except that it looks kind of like a grease strike through I have in my collection. I love seeing strange Ikes like this.

I neglected to mention, the coin went through a coin counter, THAT's the "anomoly"(circular lines, concentric, below ear, behind eye).

On my less than stellar laptop screen it looks like glue and my phone screen is too small.  I need to take a better luck on one of my IPS panels at work when I get a chance.
