Clad Ike $1 Planchet
Experimental Upset
Discovery Piece
Certified by NGC
From The San Francisco Hoard
$2,000

This clad Ike Dollar planchet is one of only a handful known with an experimental upset planchet. These were discovered in a hoard of San Francisco mint errors. It has been almost 40 years since Ike Dollars were struck and no others have been found.

This experimental blank has a unique and different edge inside of the rim. The rim is formed during the upsetting mill (Type 2) creating the raised edge.

Considering that a Presidential Dollar blank with the edge lettering is being offered by a well-known error dealer for $8k and Silver Dollar blanks sell up to $2k each, this experimental dollar blank is exciting. This is part of the Mint's history and production of experimental coinage. This experimental blank was unknown to the numismatic community.

Also in this San Francisco hoard were 3 unique Eisenhower Dollars 40% Silver with an experimental rinse. These unique blanks each have specific notations by the Mint and are included on the NGC inserts:
