josef57 Valued Member Italy 122 Posts	Posted 05/01/2023 9:35 pm Hello. I bring to your attention this One Dollar, the silver plating is completely missing. How was it possible to remove it? Also what material was used for the coin? Thank you. Report this Post to the Staff

mrwhatisit Pillar of the Community United States 2955 Posts	Posted 05/01/2023 9:41 pm Hmm, seems like it could be missing clad layers, but it is more likely that someone removed the nickel plating the copper core. Though I lean more towards environmental damage tarnishing the nickel outside to an earthy brown color... Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 96315 Posts	Posted 05/01/2023 9:47 pm we need to see both sides, but the obverse is not missing the cladding, it just looks dirty or environmentally toned. easy way to find out is the have an accurate weight of this coin.

Dearborn Moderator United States 96315 Posts	Posted 05/01/2023 10:14 pm The weight is right on the money to where it should be. (does your scale measure out to 2 decimal points?)

josef57 Valued Member Italy 122 Posts	Posted 05/01/2023 10:36 pm The obverse is totally missing, that white you see and the reflection of the light, and I don't see any environmental damage. Report this Post to the Staff

oddguy Pillar of the Community United States 4135 Posts	Posted 05/01/2023 11:05 pm On the coins edge where reeds are I can see the two layers one copper one silver. Therefore, it is environmental toned. Report this Post to the Staff
datadragon Pillar of the Community United States 1648 Posts	Posted 05/01/2023 11:23 pm This is not a 1976-s silver clad Eisenhower, so its composition is a 75% copper/25% nickel clad outside and has some environmental toning but not missing a clad layer. The 1976-s silver has an S mint mark so it is different than the other Bicentennial coins since all others were made out of clad. From 1971 through 1976, the mint produced special 40% silver composition Proof coins for collectors. These Proof coins were housed in hard plastic holders and placed in special brown boxes and are commonly referred to as "Brown Ikes." The mint also produced special uncirculated strikes in the 40% silver composition. They were distributed in blue envelopes with the coin being held in a soft plastic package. These are known as "Blue Ikes".

NumismaticsFTW Pillar of the Community United States 2281 Posts	Posted 05/02/2023 12:26 am Normal common Ike dollar. This is not silver. Toning & damage from environment.

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15437 Posts	Posted 05/02/2023 06:26 am I see environmental toning/staining. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 96315 Posts	Posted 05/02/2023 08:35 am Yes, you can give this coin a 24-48 hour soak in PURE Acetone, the kind you get from a hardware store. NOT Fingernail polish remover or similar, as it has impurities in it and will ruin coins. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.
