nwplaza Valued Member United States 73 Posts	Posted 05/27/2018 01:50 am Here's what we know: it sticks to neodymium magnet but isn't a magnet itself, weighs nearly 3 grams less than it should, silvery edge, altered/filled mint mark. We're interested in hearing your thoughts on what is going on with this bicentennial Eisenhower dollar. Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74662 Posts	Posted 05/27/2018 02:35 am I'm wondering if this Ike dollar got plated with Nickel or something (since Nickel is magnetic). I'm no expert, so we'll have to see what the other members think. They'll chime in a little later once the sun rises up. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 05/27/2018 03:48 am Silvered edge is mimicking a 40% silver Ike (MS) which should be 24.4gr, WAYYYY under weight meaning a Shanghai Shammy, a fake Ike, not silver not Ike, not US, but counterfeit. What's the source? Mintmark's a joke too! 100%, cast by the effect, injection molded? Edited by Crazyb0 05/27/2018 03:52 am Report this Post to the Staff

moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 05/27/2018 07:27 am I'd pay more for the fake than for the real thing (if that were legal). Very neat black book item. Report this Post to the Staff
nwplaza Valued Member United States 73 Posts	Posted 05/27/2018 1:46 pm Thanks all. This coin was definitely made to look like a real 40% Ike but thought it also might be a coin for magic tricks. It'll go in our "For educational purposes only" drawer with the fake Perth Mint bars, counterfeit Morgans and Cap & Ray pesos. Report this Post to the Staff
