I've never seen that 1952 Ike dollar. Must be a commemorative token, seeing that there is no denomination on it, thanking him for his service in the European theater. That was the year Ike ran successfully for President, so maybe it was issued in anticipation of his victory?

What I know is in the Numista link I provided earlier... https://en.numista.com/catalogue/ex...a115623.html

Received one of the last 2022 Pride silver coin First Day Covers available from Royal Mail. They issued 750 total of the FDC/ coin combo. The coloring texture is better than some of the other coins I have.

Quote: Very nice coin, mestephil. What an interesting design. Agreed, GLB49. Quote: Not a fan of the 50p coin - I dislike colorized coins in all forms. Quote: Me too! And modern odd-shaped coins. I am the same way on colorized coins, but The Royal Mint did this one nicely, and also the Flying Scotsman. Oddly, they made getting the non-colorized coins more difficult to obtain. Now RCM colorized coins are not that great and I am avoiding most. The 50 pence shape I am not a fan of, it is obvious I had trouble cropping the photo from Photoshop, and I even photographed on a black background and white background. The automatic selection was flawed and my hand was not steady enough, or patient enough, to do it manually with the magnetic selection. Round coins I can do all day.
