1972-S Ike Dollar Wrong-Planchet Mated Pair
NGC-Certified PR66 and PR66 Red
1972-S Eisenhower Dollar on Cent and Dime Planchets, Mated Pair, PR66 NGC. A spectacular mated pair, composed of a cent planchet and dime planchet struck simultaneously in-collar with proof Eisenhower dollar dies. The planchets were perfectly positioned so that reeding was imparted on the upper-left edge of the dime planchet and the lower-right edge of the cent planchet, with a straight diagonal edge on each planchet where they met in the center of the dies. Both pieces are pristine, with deeply reflective fields and a sharp strike. The cent is mostly copper-orange with reddish-amber accents, while the dime shows delicate champagne color. Eye appeal is excellent, and the coins make a stunning pair. This is one of just a few mated pairs of this variety we are aware of. Housed in a custom two-coin NGC slab.
1800 Silver Dollar, XF45
Double Struck, 2nd Strike 15% Off Center
Scarce 10 Arrows, B-15, BB-195
1800 $1 10 Arrows, B-15, BB-195, R.4 -- Double Struck, Second Strike 15% Off Center -- XF45 PCGS. Ex: The Peh Family Collection. A spectacular mint error on a Draped Bust dollar. We know of only one similar example within the series, a double-struck NGC AU53 BB-196 dollar with the second strike 10% off center. On the present coin, the first strike was apparently normal, but the piece was struck a second time, 15% off center toward 10 o'clock, at 10 o'clock relative to the first strike. Much design detail from the first strike remains, including the date. The pearl-gray surfaces are minimally marked save for moderate contact on the reverse field near the right scroll end. "Bowers Die State II" with clash marks from the bust tip near OF. BB-195 is the sole die marriage of the Guide Book 1800 10 Arrows variety, and it is scarce. Bowers (1993) estimates two to four Mint State examples and only five to ten AU survivors. Herrman (Winter 2024) records only the Amon G. Carter, Jr. coin in Mint State, along with eight coins in AU and another two as XF45.
Ex: FUN Signature (Heritage, 1/2006), lot 3230.
