90% Silver Ike - I'm confused?

#1 Unread post by digispin »

I was browsing HA.com and came upon this listing:

https://coins.ha.com/itm/errors/no-date ... 219-8989.s

Yes, this is a blank planchet and was not minted but was the US Mint considering making 90% instead of 40$?

They don’t make 90% Ike’s, it’s either some strange error or it’s just a peace or Morgan dollar planchet. Hope this helps.

I wonder what worn design details the graders used to determine this was AU58 and not 55?

Stirring the pot...😜
