 Ok well, the Eisenhower dollar: are way too blurry to tell if it is RPM... The 1988 is Zinc Rot, happens often throw that one back into the wild... the quarter : also hard to say due to picture quality. Could be too much pressure in the die press,a die clash, or polishing of the die, much better picture will help. And the last one: I don't see the ghost columns?it looks like it might have zinc rot as well? I do see somthing but again if you could get us better pics, we would be able to help with the rest of your coins easily.  Edited by kurdlezuit

Agreed, it's cheaper to make now, but when you have to make more of them to due to rotting of the coins due to rotting, it probably is the same cost down the line vs copper...?

Best to keep each thread with one coin. With more than one coin in a thread it makes it harder to post about which coin. So it is better to make separate threads for each coin. The threads are like a theme. We try to stick to one subject per thread. It avoids chaos. |

Thank you Coop, I'll do 1at a time. Do you know if proof 1971 s brown Ike dollars should have a connected string of islands, I know 72 s it's an error. Also, I have 2 Proofs, one Very deep nice shine, while other has a very dull almost rusty inner edge more heads than tails( obverse than inverse I think)? They look to be of such different states |

You might check with these guys, They might have more information on this. The 1972 does has three varieties. They are not errors. http://www.ikegroup.info/ |

Every one that rotted away was one less con the government would have to redeem, pure profit. Plus they would have to make a replacement which meant more profit. It was a great idea, from their point of view. Now that they cost more than face value they represent a loss to the government for each one made and when they rot and have to be replaced that means even more loss. |

Nothing is next. The cost of manufacturing and handling alone is more than a cent. Even if the material were free each cent would cost more than a cent to make. The only solution is to stop making cents. Sorry for getting this thread sideways. Please resume to original topic.  |
