My only Ike dollar.
A $2.00 purchase at a local antique store yesterday.
Enjoy!

I feel like someone could write a very sad post-apocalyptic story about that coin.

WOW!
Looks like it was someone's favorite "Pocket Piece" for about 40 years!

I'm amused that almost everything is gone . . . but we can still tell it was minted in Denver, by Jove!

it could have been used as bill holder, I once received an ike bill holder which I used for many yrs and while it didnt get as worn as that coin it saw its share but that has to be the most worn down coin I've seen in a long time
Rest in Peace

The most rare of Ike's...a worn one.

I wonder if some Nik-a-date would reveal the year?

Lex luther--the Thing--Thanks for the LOL!
If I hold the coin just right I can see that it is a 1972.
It weighs 21 grams.

Really neat piece. I'd submit it for slabbing just to see how they would grade it.
