Here's my sole Ike. 1971D, AU53. It has more of a brownish tone than the picture suggests.   |

Do you guys prefer silver Ikes or clad? That is like asking someone to pick their favourite child!  For the record, all Eisenhower dollars are clad. There are the normal Cu-Ni clad (pure copper core, 75% copper and 25% nickel cladding) and there are the 40% Silver Clad (79.1% copper and 20.9% silver core, 80% silver and 20% copper cladding). |

I really like the silver BU Ikes, and the proof Ikes are just spectacular, whether they be silver or Cu-Ni. The UNC silver Ikes are neat because they literally are silver dollars, made just like the Peace and Morgan before it with the only difference being 40% silver content. But they also feel like real money too.

I think the MM is MD, but I am hardly an expert. Might warrant its own post in the V/E forum (unless you already have, but I could not find it). Regardless, it is an Eisenhower dollar, so he is very nice! |

Chapter 19 of the big IKE Book has specific die markers(naked eye visible) for the 71-S RPM..if you don't have the book, grab a copy...pays for itself in 1 week of pickin.
I don't see a shift, where the RPM should be...MDD, sorry 2 say.

Regardles, a NICE pick up oih8. Here is my latest. I was cruising trying to snag a night crawler being sold straight up and came across this guy. Obviously not a night crawler, but I felt it had at least nice cameo, possibly DCAM so I grabbed it. Only issue is the darned spot on the back of his neck and a very slight ding you can see reflecting at the bottom of his neck. I think he could pull a 67, which would be the minimum I would want to slab one at. I have another Ike on his way. A 71D...   |
