jbuck Moderator United States 187702 Posts	Posted 02/23/2026 1:10 pm It looks like it has been plated. 2.78 grams? I guess you meant 22.78. 22.7 grams is nominal. Tolerance is 21.793 to 23.607. Real 40% silver Ikes are 24.6 grams. 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

Jose Laureano Valued Member Spain 169 Posts	Posted 02/24/2026 03:35 am Is it worth sending it to PCGS to check if it's silver, even though it weighs less? Thanks for the information. Report this Post to the Staff
Marv65 Bedrock of the Community United States 10484 Posts	Posted 02/24/2026 03:50 am A 40% Ike dollar is worth about $28 because of the silver content - if you send your coin to PCGS your cost will be triple that. And you will be told it is a plated coin. Everybody already told you that for free. Report this Post to the Staff
jbuck Moderator United States 187702 Posts	Posted 02/24/2026 11:54 am A 40% silver Ike has a 21% silver, 79% copper core which is often visible to some degree. I do not see this here. I do see a typical plated coin. 90% silver, 40% silver, Cu-Ni Clad: 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
