Is there much premium added to an Ike if it has a rim burr error? The coin is in the MS63/MS64 range.

    They are not particularly rare, but that is a nice one. I've seen them go for about $20

    No but I'll take it off your hands! image

    Actually, I don't really know as the only other one I've seen was on a 1974-D that had been killed in a Corrosion War but never on a silver coin.
    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.

    Lee,

    That was sort of my point on this coin. Mass produced and bagged in bulk coins will have these from time to time. However, the silver series I thought got a bit more supervision during production and therefore errors on them are harder to find.

    I had not seen one on a silver before and almost threw it into the junk silver pile thinking it was PMD until I saw the foldover pressed into the reverse.

    V/R

    You may or may not be aware but the 1971-S's were bagged up for shipment to the packager which is why most of them are beat to death!

    And since they were bagged I would also expect that quality control was not real high on the list! Possibly not even touched by human hands during their manufacture.
