@chafemasterj Is that a clad or 40% proof? Of my handful of Ikes, this clad proof gets me the most points:

I don't think I have a proof Ike, a S mint Ike, or a TPG graded Ike, and to the best of my memory I don't have an 1973 Ike either (isn't it a less common date?), so the best I have is this little (OK, not very little) piece...  Part of the unpopular Presidential $1 series, this coin features the 19th US president, Rutherford Birchard Hayes. (And no, I didn't just look up his middle name.) To be honest, Hayes is probably no one's favorite president (to the extent that he is known at all, which isn't much), but I do kind of like the way he got elected. As far as I can tell, this coin gets 4 points, for a TPG graded proof S mint dollar (I don't think its composition counts as clad). Sadly, it is not the 2015 Eisenhower type (which would have given it another point).

United States -- 1 dollar, 1973-S (proof, silver):   I think this is only 5 points, since it's not clad, and unslabbed.

Quote: Oh how did I get 6 points thought I had 5 I am assuming it is clad. You did not specify and I thought I could see some copper on the edge.  Quote: And thank you jbuck I now have all my lks photo'd.

@jbuck I saw you gave j1m 5 points and I assume that's because the Pres. Dollars are, indeed, clad. I didn't know that until just recently.  Of course, the 40% Ikes are clad, as well, but we know what you mean.  @MSY Is it just the pic, or is that thang gold-plated?

They are not Cu-Ni clad, but clad nonetheless. Quote: Of course, the 40% Ikes are clad, as well, but we know what you mean. Yup. Let us just say that by clad I mean with a pure copper core, which both Cu-Ni and baby dollars have.
