Cherrypicking Ike's

CoinCoins

Hello World

so i bought a small hoard of ike's today, and i'm wondering what varieties are out there. all i know about are the '72 T2's, the differences in the 76's, the rare silver planchets... um, what else is there to look for? any known DDO's or anything? thanks !

there's a Hobby adage that reads like this-----Buy the book and then the coin. i don't think it needs an explanation. most collectors have at least a modest "library" of references and if Eisenhower Dollars interest you enough to buy a small hoard i think you should buy a book to help you, there's too much for a thread like this to explain.

anyone else?

i didn't buy em for varieties, and i can't stand ike's

There are literally a butt load of Doubled Dies available for the Eisenhower Dollar. Both Obverse and Reverse. Some quite dramtic and others just barely discernable.

There are PegLegs.

There are Talon Heads.

There are Die Clashes.

There are Sintered Planchets.

Just a bunch.

Headover to The IKE Groups Web Page and browse the Forums. There's more than enough information to keep you busy for weeks.

Or, check out this thread over on Coin talk.

There's some information in this thread on these forums.

Welcome!

Cangrats on the FEV! They are not that easy to find.
Check out the FEV for an D/D RPM (there are (2) in the FEV's). Also check for a DDO.
Kind of like a Variety within a Variety.....

Viva La DIVA!
