Daniel Arellano New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 03/08/2017 7:02 pm I found this dollar from several other Ike dollars all 1972 D. It has lots of luster when you turn it. And it weighs 22.2 g. It just caught my eye for being ugly.The more I looked at it the more I thought it might be a wrong planchet. But I don't know. I am just a old man trying to learn . Report this Post to the Staff

Daniel Arellano New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 03/08/2017 8:44 pm Thanks , I don't know much but like I said it was so ugly that it looked so strange it might be a different kind of strange but what gets me is that it's so shiny . Of course not on the pictures but in real life. I am looking at it right now. Thanks Nickel Guy. Glad to meet all of you. Report this Post to the Staff

Dennman Valued Member Canada 496 Posts	Posted 03/09/2017 11:53 am I think it was put in a vice (notice the opposing flat spots on the rim) and heated with a torch. Report this Post to the Staff
