It's essential to have it in the title. * I took this coin to the local coin dealer, and he told me it's possibly a "type 1", but he's not sure. What do you think? Report this Post to the Staff

jbuck Moderator United States 187702 Posts	Posted 09/19/2025 2:38 pm My pleasure. Sounds like this dealer should be avoided. Coin Collector Since 1978 Avatar Old Avatar 7070 Eisenhower Australia Canada World CCF Members on eBay CCF eBay Search Engine Report this Post to the Staff
Dough101 Valued Member United States 399 Posts	Posted 09/19/2025 2:53 pm I also took three other coins, but he said, "They are all genuine coins, but they look normal". In my eyes, they look different. And I can't stop looking at them. I will be posting these coins soon to get more feedback. Thank you, coin community. Report this Post to the Staff
Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6464 Posts	Posted 09/19/2025 2:57 pm Yeah, that's practically the single thing anybody should know about Ike dollars. It's also in every basic coin book, presumably including the Red Book, and on almost every guide on the Internet. Either that dealer is a yutz, or he was trying to cheat you. I would put as a close second how to distinguish the 40% silver business strikes from the standard clad business strike coins. Report this Post to the Staff
