My LCS wants $28 for a 1973S silver proof in the original Mint packaging (brown pack.) Seems high. NumisMedia says $13.50 at 60 CAM to $55 at 69 DCam. Without seeing it, I would not spend more that $20 for it. I could go higher if the condition demanded it, but I would have to see it first. |

Thanks jbuck. I'll take a good look at it. Perhaps he has more for cherrypicking.

The 1973-S silver proof is suppose to be the "key" coin in the series, so if you overpay a bit, I don't see it as a big deal. I paid $17.00 for mine on ebay, which I thought was an excellent deal. The brown pack looked like new, someone had taken very good care of it.  |

Today I went to the bank to do some business and while I was at the counter I asked the teller if she had any Ike's. She said that she did and proceeded to pull 30 Ike's out from her side. I took them all. They had one thing in common they were all '71d and in real good condition.
The peculiar thing about them though is that some of them appeared to have some toning. I don't recall ever seeing toning on a clad coin. Can this occur to anyone's knowledge. (No camera so I can't post pics.)

Nice finds! Yes, clad coins can tone. For example, my 1977-S and 1978-S Proof Eisenhower dollars have a lovely tone to them. |

Ghostrider, there can be some rather dramatic toning even on clad coins as JBuck mentioned, The proofs can be quite beautiful. Here are a couple of shots of a regular circulation clad Ike that I found that has some toning to it. Coins are stored in strange places by people. Which can lead to some rather different toning depending on what type of material the coins are stored in and what kind of weather conditions. Terry    Edited by stewart

Post an Ike dollar ? How about 4/5ths of one? This appeared earlier in another topic, and the consensus was that it is an authentic double clipped defective planchet error. I don't have too many IKE's and I suppose this is my best.   |

I picked up two 72-D's in MS-66  This one, I think I'm going to move. It's got a cool striated planchet, though.... and a nice reverse. |

Here's 7 that I got today from a bank not mine.  A few hole-fillers too! The teller was relieved to be rid of them, since her cash drawer kept catching on them. I cant seem to stop seeking them out for hording, and my aunt is suposed to look through her stash for more at some point.  Edited by argentum

My Ike is sad-actually blue. The coin looks better than the pic, it is shot through the Brown Ike plastic. Picked up 5 new Ikes last night.   |
