For $7 at my LCS. I'm extremely happy with this purchase and wanted to share :) I feel it was a superb price point as well.

Congrats on your 1971S Ike, did it come in the brown box?

Welder- it wasn't a brown ike, it was just in a coin holder- it was popped out of a set the guy said.

Socal, it has to be a brown box. In 71 and 72 there were no clad proof Ikes. Only the 40% silver that were issued in the brown boxes. It is impossible ofr it to have been pulled from a set. 73 was the first year there was an Ike in the proof set.

If it's a blue Ike it would be business strike quality. There is no confusing a blue Ike Unc with a brown Ike Proof. So which is it?

Nice purchase.  It does not matter if you bought it raw, using the terms brown (for the proof) or blue (for the uncirculated) describe how it was originally issued. |

So then it must have been a brown ike right without the box. Because it's definitely proof, and definitely silver. I might go back today and pick up a couple more, because brown ikes go for way more on ebay. |

Check the reverse. Maybe you scored a Night Crawler variety.

It is possible that this one was busted out to build an Eisenhower dollar set (maybe in an album like the Dansco). The dealer broke that set to sell it. This is why the dealer used the term "set" to describe where he got it... from a Eisenhower dollar set... not a proof set. |

 The Brown ike I made this post about is on the bottom right, on top of it is a very nice condition 1971 D clad, and to the left a 1971S blue ike. |
