Was consulted on a neat new variety in the Ike dollar series, which will be reported in Coin World Online on Monday. It's amazing that nobody caught it in all these years.

Really! People seem to like to jump out and say "I Know SOMETHING you don't!!! Nyah nyah nyah" but don't stand up and say anything.
Are you under orders, or restricted, from saying something actual and clear about this or just don't want to?
I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
<< <i>It has nothing to do with the 1976 No Mint Mark 40% silver Proofs, Type I or Type II. >>
Oh, Lord, it's a mint set coin. I just know it's gonna be a mint set coin.

I'll post what I find provided it hasn't already been posted!
But since I live on the West Coast, I feel certain that somebody will beat me to it!

Why would you think that?

recently, why not a Ike?
just my guess.
Is that the latest one?
(I did see an article about the 10/4-10/5 Las Vegas Coin Fair where some guy brought in a roll of 1893-S Morgans for appraisal! The coins graded from fine to XF with the better ines being submitted for grading! )

It sounds like the on-line is not updated. I once thought I saw something about Tuesday being the update day. I know Tom said Monday.
Hey, Tom, bail us out here.
"ICG Confirms the existance of two Proof 1971-S Eisenhower dollars with a reverse used for Uncirculated coins"
This would be a 1971-S 40% Silver Proof with a Type 1 reverse (RDV-001) instead of the Type 2 reverse. For the Eisenhower series, the 1971-S 40% Business strike coin had the Type 1 reverse while the Proof coin had the Type 2 reverse. Most folks just give the coins a cursory glance for the obvious clean strikes or for peglegs. Very few actually get down and look for the Doubled Dies and even less actually validate the reverse die design.
I am as guilty as the next guy but it is on my list of items to check.
Coneca has this listed under DDO-016 here. The date of reporting is not mentioned.

I imagine that these were missed in the same way that the Reverse Die Variety Six (RDV-006) was missed up until December of 1999! The coins get looked at but never REALLY looked at or studied!
I guess it just goes to the overall disdain that some collectors have toward this unique coin. Yes it is unique in that it represents the largest Copper-Nickel clad coin ever minted or ever to be minted and required constant design tweaks so that a good coin COULD be made.
High grade specimens for any of the Copper Nickel clad coins are very scare with only 91 MS67's being graded for the 8 year production vs 179 MS67's for the Peace Dollar over a 9 year production run! The prices for MS67 Peace Dollars literally dwarfs the prices for an MS67 IKE!
Maybe this discovery and validation of the 1971-S 40% Proof Type 1 Reverse will generate some interest in Eisenhower Dollars?

<< <i>Its a 1971-S Proof 40% Ike $1 from Type 1 reverse from Proof finished dies intended for MS copper nickel clad & MS 40% silver strikings. This is a Mint error as someone at the San Francisco Mint grabbed a reverse die intended for business strikes and polished it for Proofs, leaving a potential for 3,500 of these errors to exist. ICG has certified two specimens and according to James Wiles he saw one several years ago.

Thanks. What a relief. It's not even Mint State.
It's something more to look for though.
<< <i>Could one of the Ike guys post some pics? I'd like to start looking... >>
Sure!
The 1971-S & 1972-S Proofs received the Type 2 reverse for both years. What you would be looking for is the Type 1 Reverse on the 1971-S 40% Silver Proof.
While you are at it, look for the Type 2 Reverse on the 1971-S 40% Silver Business strike. I've heard rumor that these could exist as well.
In 1973, the Type 3 Reverse was used for the Proof Coinage but as with anything, boo-boo's happen at the US Mint!

reminds me of hillary saying she knows something about obama.......but won't say what
A FEP (FEV, RDV-006) in MS 65 is a hot item on the order of $300.
The 1972 Philly type 2 in MS 64 is right up there too at a similiar price. They appear in auctions regularily. Peg Legs and Talon Heads
are popular.
I have seen only two high relief clad proof artwork quarters (type on the market this year. There was an unc 1969 D on e-Bay and Heritage had a 1970 D in low grade. Both had $200 minimum bid.
Neither received that bid during the auction, but both sold afterwards for full minimum as far as I know.
The 1969 D's quarters are such that I can separate them into 3 piles by touch alone.

and how many more have been found?
do the proof dies only last for roughly 3000 strikes?
To date, despite my best efforts, only the two have been found and as with anything involving the US Mint, even though 3,500 were possible, someone could have noticed and pulled the die. For example, with as much die polishing as was required, it is totally possible that stars began to disappear after only a couple dozen coins at which point, the die would have been disposed of.
These coins, IMO, are definitely ones to watch for but there are just so danged many other coins to get distracted by!
