Post An Ike (Eisenhower Dollar)

Easy.."Nightcrawler Fever"..same seller listed 3 more, 2 weeks later...a "Mole" in the Ikegroup.info, who knew exactly what he had...I played dumb, and, first hour of listing offered a BIN of 50 bucks, all to no avail..That's OK, I found my own, days later, in a PCGS 11-piece PR69 DCAM 40th Anniversary Set..divided out, my top pop(so far, only 2 PR69 DCAM's found), cost about 29 bucks...it's in Vermont as I write, getting a DIVA attribution, and photo shoot...my specimen was highly polished, almost a PPL IKE(see the IKE Book about those, or website), which made me wonder(first crawler found was not heavily polished)how many times the dies were "worked"..
Update from Bill Fivaz last night...since the general thinking on WHy this raised line exists(Hubbed through Debris) is a mint die-production accident, and not a purpuseful addition, it is considered an IKE "error", and not a variety(like a DDO), thus, will NOT be in the next edition of the CherryPickers' Guide...which means PCGS will most likely NOT add it to their collector's universe "Must Have" list(which normally drives prices up)..time will tell..remember, it took mint workers a LONG time to discover their "goof"? on the 71-D FEV...maybe we'll never have a clear answer on error, or purposeful for the crawler...either way, "The Worm is out of the Bag"

Well, most of an Eisenhower dollar anyway.

wow Jay..awesome double clip..aren't 71 clips the rarest?

A lot of nice posts since I last checked in.
