Bit of a buzz kill , but still a cool find - and the plate job kept it from looking like the rest of the clad rubbish !

Cool find! I have only found one Ike dollare, a 1972 but mine is not gold plated (bummer)

Take a smashed aluminum can out and sit it a foot away from the dollar. Swing over them and you can tell that the can has a much wider signal than the dollar. The dollar will be a shorter signal, like a coin!

I found a really brown crusty one. I think I like yours better.

Very nice find. I'd have to spend it at the gas station to see the look on the clerks face.

If I saw that in the ground I would probably grab the nearest stranger near me and excitedly show them what I was about to pull out of the ground, then upon realizing the fake for what it truly was I would have to embarrassingly apologize to the person and explain that they would have done the same if they thought they had just unearthed a massive solid gold coin. :coins::laughing7:
