Where are all the Ike errors?

rays · December 28, 2008 11:15AM

I've only seen a couple of these, but I like them.

Rampage · December 28, 2008 11:49AM

Fred and Mike have some. Al might have some, too, as may Rich, but I have not checked the last two websites in quite some time. I like IKE errors also, but they are always so expensive, but that is to be expected for what they are.

Do you own the one you posted? Cool coin. I've got an off center, and some other minor stuff, but that's about it.

No, I don't own that one, it sold for over $6000 at Heritage a year or so ago. They almost never come up on eBay.

People collect Ikes?

Most of the double strikes I see do not have that large of a spread, so the price is about what I would expect (I think).

Fantastic Ike errors (like the one you show), are very few and far between. There are a
few collectors that have been actively seeking the outstanding Ike errors for years, and grabbing
them whenever and where-ever they can, with no intention of re-selling them any time soon.
So, I guess you could say that many of the "outstanding" ones are held in pretty "strong" hands
and very rarely come out to play.
For instance......

And this one....Of the 2 dozen or so known 74-D Silvers, there are at least (2) of them that are
also struck from the same abraded, clashed die being a "Peg Leg", "Talon Head", "Clipped E" Variety.

It takes a LOT to pry one of these out of an error Ike-lover's hands!!!

I also have a 20+ coin PCGS Ike Error Set in the PCGS Registry under showcase/errors

Registry coin,

that one makes me dizzy....way cool!!!

itsnotjustme · December 28, 2008 12:20PM

If you listen, you can hear the bell ringing!

I guess mine are minor league errors next to these others.... but I really like both the 5% off center in 66, and the 7% clip in 65. The first I bought for no more money than a normal MS66 of that date would cost, the other I bought raw off e-bay and slabbed myself.

RegistryCoin · December 28, 2008 12:22PM

Easier on the eyes:

Gandyjai · December 28, 2008 12:47PM

itsnotjustme....Those MS66 Clad Ike off-centers are VERY hard to come by!
To get one anywhere near the same price as a "regular" Ike is quite a feat!!

Registrycoin....you're KILLING me!

I think Gandyjai has most of them

This is the first time I've ever seen any Ike errors.

That's why I love this place. I learn something new (or see something new) every day.

Thanks guys...

All the error's posted here put my measly collection of 1%, 2%, and 3% clippers to shame!

Unfortunately, those big guns will have to wait until I can get some lottery winnings to play with!

gonzer · December 28, 2008 9:57PM

Registry's Ike is sweet! Sometimes you get just the right amount of planchet rotation on an in-collar DS that results in a strike that seems to come alive.

FredWeinberg · December 29, 2008 12:42AM

Ike Dollar major mechanical Dramaic Errors are
scarce because of the size of the coin - Double
Strikes, etc. would have been easy to see by
the press operators, and also because even
back in the 70's, there was a very active collecting
base for errors, and there were at least a half-dozen
collectors specializing in them.

The Dr. A.K. Berry Collection of Ike Errors is now at
the ANA in Colorado Springs - the best collection of them
at the time, and probably even now.

When any dramatic Ike's appear, there are still a good
number of serious collectors who will vie for them.

Minor Off Centers - up to about 10%, and Clips, up to about
20% or so, are fairly easy to find today - some types are
still scarcer than you would think - such as Clad Layers Missing.

I recall posting this example in a tread when it was available for sale on a site.

NGC has this designated as double struck... this looks multi or at least triple struck in collar to me

I was thinking the same thing. However, its just an illusion. Here's a quick overlay with the second image rotated 27 degrees CCW:

YaHa · December 29, 2008 2:15AM

Hey Mr Weinberg Or Mr Lee have there been any IKES struck on wrong sized plancets like a quarter or Half. That would be cool to see.

erroid · December 29, 2008 2:17AM

What a "stunning" piece; thanks for sharing!

FredWeinberg · December 29, 2008 3:11AM

Ikes are known struck on Cents, Nickels, Dimes, Quarters, and Half
Dollar planchets, as well as Phillipine 1 Piso Planchets, Aluminum
planchets, odd planchets, etc.....just like other denominations and types....

Forum Member gandyjai has a nice set of error's ATS which has an ND IKE struck on a Kennedy Planchet and a 1972-D Struck on a Phillipine 1 Piso planchet. He also has a nice PCGS Showcase Set!

The man has been collecting high grade IKE's along wih nice unusual IKE's for a long, long time!

Example of the reverse of an Ike on Dime Planchet:

Gandyjai · December 29, 2008 5:15AM

90% stuck through obverse.....I used to own it.....

Have to agree with Fred on the missing Clad layers. I think I went 7 years before I finally
even SAW one!

GrandAm and Lee,...thanks for the compliments but.....
There are guys out there that have Ike error sets that just BLOW mine away!
I know, because I have had to sell them some of my best ones to make ends meet, now
that I have 2 little girls to raise. While I have enjoyed collecting Ike errors for the past
several years, I enjoy providing for, and spending time with my kids even more!

I'll still hang onto what I can, but until they are out of daycare, it's going to be TIGHT and
I'm going to have to let a few of my extras go. I would LOVE to see the set at the ANA that Fred mentioned. I wonder if they could fix it so that one could view it on-line?

"Where are all the Ike errors?"

Here they Are!

And they got bidders too!

19Lyds · January 6, 2009 4:24AM

Speaking of error's, does anybody else have a problem with this one?

Perhaps I misunderstand minting processes but I was always under the assumbption that the strike would be weakest near the clip boundaries. This coin does not display any weakness at all.

ClosedLoop · January 6, 2009 12:59PM

THAT'S CRAZY!

gonzer · January 6, 2009 10:05PM

Lee, technically (I believe) that's not a clip but scrap or a fragment.

19Lyds · January 7, 2009 7:06AM

You are correct!

But I guess I don't fully understand the mechanics in that the edges show no fading or blending at all. I would expect the edges to be less well formed.

rays · January 7, 2009 11:44AM

I wonder how PCGS determined the percentage of clip at 61%?

amiller · January 7, 2009 12:20PM

<< I wonder how PCGS determined the percentage of clip at 61%? >>

Perhaps they weigh them?

They are also known struck on two denominations at once (can you say "employee mischief?")

66Tbird · January 7, 2009 12:35PM

Well that 61% clip is nice

Anyone remember that raw capped die Ike that when up on ebay a year or so ago? Man I should of gone for that, it went for way less than I figured it would.

I've picked a few off over the years. A 22% clip and a laminate error come to mind.

clarkbar04 · January 7, 2009 12:59PM

I don't collect ikes but this is a very cool thread!

19Lyds · January 7, 2009 1:25PM

<< I wonder how PCGS determined the percentage of clip at 61%? >>

Percentages are determined by weight.

Each coin is weighed and the total weight is divided by what it should weigh to determine how much is left. The missing percentage is the clip amount.

Its not always accurate but close to within 1 or 2%.

For example, if the clip occurs where there is no lettering ( or build up of metal) near the edge, then the percentages appear less.

Likewise, if the clip passes through an area of the coin which has a lot of metal (Like the top of IKEs Head), then the percentages appear higher.

itsnotjustme · February 7, 2009 1:33PM

A number of major Ike errors are on e-bay BIN sales right now.

JoseRZ · February 10, 2009 1:51PM

Here is a 71d ike struck thru with the wire still attached. I believe it has been cleaned. If not I has had a hard life.

Where are all the Ike errors?
