1971-S Proof Ike Dollar A Work In Progress

[Stachowski]

I love doing these Ikes, so lets get it started .

I know that the obverse is Hub 3 .

IDDDO Hub 3 - already doubled working hub -high relief Proof ( Tripled - Full & Peg Leg R in Liberty ) Class II on IN GOD WE TRUST. Early die stage B will show nice tripling on the bottom right serif of the first T in trust. See larger picture below.
NOTE: All doubling may not show due to weak strike, tilted strikes, grease, die abrasion-polishing or wear.

The last letter P stands for peg-leg abraded R in liberty and S for full serif R in liberty.

IDDDO-WH-3

Master Die.

The Reverse is Hub 8 .

IDDDR high relief 40% PF Hub 8 - already doubled working hub - Early stage A & B and die state EDS & EMDS show doubling both ways on most letters. CCW spread in the form of split serif's on the upper left and lower right serif's of UNITED depending on die stage and state. CW spread in the form of split serifs seen on the lower left serifs of TATE of STATES and AMERICA. Stage B: Show AMERICA with split serifs on both lower left and right serifs "a shift to the center" on E PLURIBUS UNUM in the form of split serifs. Stars 3-13. FG & leaf below. Bottom right serifs of the NE of ONE. Early Stage B have both left and right lower serifs with split serifs. DLAR of DOLLAR have split serifs on the lower left serifs. First L of DOLLAR has split serif's on the upper right and the lower right, the second L of DOLLAR has split serif's on all three serif's. Stage C: Show split serif's on the tips of LL of DOLLAR.

So lets start the journey on IDDD site .
I checked all the images on the site and couldn't match anything to my coin . There are DDOs without images so that my best bet .Since I know it's from Hub 3 ( Obverse ) I'll check for a working die off of Hub 3 ( Obverse ) .

I matched the Obverse to this working die ( DDO-128 ) .

Next thing I have to do is match Hub 3 ( Obverse ) to Hub 8
( Reverse ) which shouldn't be hard, because I know it's none of the ones with images ...



Ok, all figured out and it's IDDDO-130 .
I'll get some images up shortly for the Reverse .

For anyone that doesn't know, IDDD keeps their Hubs and working Dies, for that Hub, together .
Makes it a lot easier for matching marriages ..
