Post An Ike (Eisenhower Dollar)

Nice 71-S...speaking of the Nightcrawler...has anyone in here found one lately..in their stash, or, online...unsure of "official" NC count from the Ike Group.org site, but, last I heard, hovering around 20 found.
Good luck Hunting!

Two more "hairlips" found.

Grade A



Grade C

Last one for the day (maybe). These are from three different 1972D's but the peg legs (straight) look very similar. Notice the "broken leg" on the bottom left; Ike Group explains it as either planchet metal broken off a previous coin strike or some type of debris beoming stuck in the die.

I've been on the hunt for a 1973-S DDO FS-101 for a while now with no luck so far. However, this "minor variety" 1973-S proof Ike came up for auction on the bay last week. Although it is not part of the COMPLETE VARIETY registry set, I still wanted this one in my collection. There are also DDO minor varieties for 1971-S and 1972-S, which I also want for my collection. Anyway, I think this one will tide me over until I find the FS-101. This coin has some very faint, light blue toning and some milk spots in areas along the rim. You can't ever go wrong with adding another '73-S silver proof to an Ike collection.

Oh, and there were some rub marks on the front of the slab that were VERY distracting. I used SLAB-RENEW, and it worked perfectly! I wish it worked on NGC slabs, but it doesn't.

Nice aquisitions, all of you, and thanks for sharing...DARTH..be careful on 72 & 73-S PF DDO attributions/////2 reasons...a lot are just plain incorrect, and, many are series doubling, or, Master Die Doubling...If I were to spend bucks on those, I'd make darn sure someone like Brian V. either owns them, or, attributes them...way too easy to get fooled on those years, as so much of the IGWT notching is identical..the key is Die Markers and M/M placement..period.

Apologies for not posting a specific single coin, but holy cow if they posted photos of all those Eisenhower's they're selling. Think I'd fall over!

Although not an actual Eisenhower dollar, I picked this up in Nashville as a new little project. I think its kind of neat because it only has slots for up to 1976.
