Possible Proof Planchet Ike
I bought a circulated a '72D Ike for $1.25 that is incredibly shinny at my LCS. Could that year's Denver Mint Ikes be copper clad proof planchets?

PS I'll try to get a pic up this weekend.

Jim,
Yes, it is possible San Francisco sent Denver rejected proof planchets. I have seen this in 71-D and 76-D Type 1s... One 76-D Type 1 I had even had cameo frost on the letters and devices.
I have not seen a 72-D like this- but it certainly is possible.

Jim, It is absolutely possible that the 72 D you purchased was minted on a proof planchet that was not quite up to quality for San Francisco. Denver was the recipient of a good number of them. Finding Denver minted Ike's that were struck on proof planchets is a little pet peeve of mine in my Ike collecting. A link with a little more information for you on one of my favorite type of Ikes. http://forum2.ikegroup.info/viewtop...p?f=38&t=722Terry |

Nice! My '78 proof Ike is also a very nice DCAM. The nicest proof Ike that I have by far! |
