Hello with me again... Need confirming this on the date of 1978 Ike dollar. Hope it's not Pareidolia    It is look like '4' between 9 and 7 or again just Pareidolia? Also the mark behind 7. Anyone can figure it out what it is? I heard JBuck very interested with whatever about Ike. I hope he can stop by to see this. And help me to figure it out.  On the reverse, Above the head of eagle, there is shadow. It is only the reflection of the light or it is something else?  By the way, I am newbie in numismatic, for me it's like a boy find a new toys, always hungry for something new. This Ike belong to my sons, they found this at online store, so they ( I have two sons, 13 years old and 14 years old ) seems this hobbies contagious. ( I'm sorry for my language, cannot find the fit term for this) By the way I also buy 1971-S Ike dollar, still waiting for the package. I'll keep it for the next topic. Solo Edited by Solo

Ikes are really big, so they take a lot of hits during handling. As you may have seen in many topics before, damage can look like the things we want to see (errors, etc.). Quote:

Even though there is nothing special about this Ike, it is still and Ike and worth having!  Quote:By the way I also buy 1971-S Ike dollar, still waiting for the package.

though those anomalies have the general look of clashed dies and progressive indirect die transfer, I don't think that's the case for this coin, keep searching anyway

Hello with me again hello again to you too (did you come in here alone? {solo} get it? ok not too funny.. the mark behind the 7 looks like a hit - one that hit at an angle and plowed up a berm of metal. Otherwise a normal looks large dollar coin. Quote:

Otherwise a normal looks large dollar coin. For now, the conclusion is this Ike is a normal large dollar coin. Mr. Dearborn... except the mark, I've just comparing the thickness of this Ike with my 1878 Morgan dollar. As we know, The Ike dollar is thicker than Morgan dollar. But, when I compared this side by side, The Morgan dollar which is we knew have 2.40mm thickness is thicker than the Ike dollar I had. Yes, i'll post the image soon after the thickness gauge in hand. As a newbie in this hobbies, I haven't this thickness gauge yet. Note: I still believe it's more than just a scratch or PMD. Regard, Solo |

@Mr. silviosi, Thanks God. I assume my 1971-S is strongly fake.

@Solo: why you assume it is a fake coin? Results from XRF? IKE's dollars was a short 9 years strike and not so many fake was find. In this series you has many varieties design. I know from an big collector in Indonesia that you you has many fake coins on the market (it is a reality) but IMO your coin is not fake. Short run coins one day will have nice value.
