    Older submission. Collectors couldn't tell if the missing T in STATES was an error or had been messed with, like with a dremel. I apologize to anyone that I offended as there was much speculation and interest, which is good.
    Thanks Cliff

      Getting something professionally graded and authenticated is always the best way to go on a possible error coin. - It is especially hard on a photograph(s) of a coin. - In addition, that is a nice high grade you got probably because these are rarely found at all in circulation. - Nice find. I wouldn't have a clue to the value since this type of error is so un-common.

      Thank you much for the knowledgable and interested comments on this Ike$
      I've seen several errors on Ike dollars; none to where a certain letter is missing?
      Appreciate it, Cliff 2012

      This is not my field, but, as coins are struck with dies, how could this possibly happen? How could a die pass inspection with a "T" missing? They are stuck with one die. Something doesn't add up.

      Something fell on the die and landed on the T ... ????

      #3 - there are MANY dies, not just one;
      http://www.coinnews.net/2013/09/13/how-the-philadelphia-mint-makes-hubs-and-dies-to-produce-coins/
      #3 & #4 - any foreign matter present on the planchet face or the die face such as dirt, grease, blob of metal, etc. would make the T not strike. - Back in the 70's, something like this would easily get by inspectors (on circulation coins, not on Mint Set or Proof Set coins) but not any more with the computerized, laser-eye techniques now used at the mints.

      Thanks much for the interest and I believe the idea that something got in between the blank coin and stamp which caused it! You guys are right I believe! It is funny to see a strike error that only affected the letter T in STATES! Thanks much!! Cliff
      PS I wish someone could figure out what that reddish sandstone face is???!!
