A colorful piece I worked within the last two years.
Custom album maker and numismatic photographer.
Need a personalized album made? Design it on the website below and I'll build it for you. https://www.donahuenumismatics.com/.
"The Original Ikes", awarded by Ike himself or by his direction at the locations indicated on the reverse design (8 different). Class 2 Eisenhower appreciation medals with common obverse design. Designed by Frank Gasparro and struck at the US Mint. First known completed uncirculated set graded by a TPG.
The Japan reverse is the rarest among the Class 2 series, with an estimated population of 5 available to collectors (based on my research).
Original map from the NARA archives. There are a total of 4 Classes of Eisenhower appreciation medals. Most follow his "goodwill tours". Medals were first organized and cataloged as a complete US Mint series in 2013 (catalog released in 2014).
It took fortitude, determination, a home equity loan and a tumultuous back and forth auction battle to $37 (with premium,) to bring this stunning Ike to the CU forum!

Only one? Here’s the first one in my set:
Amazing Clover Leaf Ike Dollar struck on dime planchets
Not the nicest Ike out there.
Very nice @MWallace !! I know we discussed this before but why would a blank and a planchet be errors? It's the weight?

PO1 or POS?
Technically they are not errors.

I can see this conversation now having happened at NGC:
Boss: "Hey, you forgot to grade your last coin for the day."
Grader: "Ah, come on boss. It's a Friday and I've got plans for the weekend."
Boss: Nope. Got to get that last Ike graded. You can leave afterward."
Grader: Alrighty then. I got you boss."
