    Gorgeous coin! Heres the CoinFacts image from Phil!


    Is this likely to be a midnight minter piece?

    With the strike being so sharp for a much thinner blank, it definitely had some help in its creation. I would not want to speculate any further

    just going by an image, but that error is puzzling to me.

    No, you would need part of the blank planchet showing.

    Isn't that only if it's only an off center error on a correct planchet? This both wrong planchet and off center image

    Was it not Blakesley who had a supreme collection of Ike errors in the early 70's?

    It was Dr. A. K. Berry.



    He donated his Ike error collection

    To the ANA.



    It was the best for the time.

    So is this particular piece owned by the ANA now?


    Should the ANA have a registry set? image

    I submitted this Ike struck on a cent blank. It was in a collection of Ike of-metals that I bought, and had PCGS certify for me. It was featured on my website and mint error news as well. It was placed in a collection of Ike and other Dollar mint errors.

    Thank you Fred. I remember it was on display at the CONECA show in Anaheim in '73. Lot of tongues wagging over it.
