ilikeikes Pillar of the Community United States 1205 Posts	Posted 08/18/2013 4:29 pm This T-I 1976-D Ike dollar has numerous copper "spots" obverse and reverse..it looks harshly cleaned..I've seen many 76 IKES with what I call rim flakes, some small, some quite large, pulled away from rim clad layer during strike, and, shredded onto the fields, some quite dramatic.....my theory is when this was cleaned, it took off the rougher portions of copper originally laid on surface, leaving washed out ares we see now...what's your theory? Weighs in normal, at 22.55 grams, so, missing clad layer issues out. TY Calvin G. Report this Post to the Staff

Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 08/18/2013 9:49 pm Okay, that solves one puzzle. I wonder if the coin spent some time in a solvent -- or had some dripped onto it. Report this Post to the Staff

It was involved in an armored car robbery and that is dried blood stains from the shootout with the mobster. It was cracked out of the Star Grading Service holder, label removed.
