1st S-Clad Ike

[palidin20603]

found 13 Ikes at lunch and found my first copper-nickel clad proof 1973-S that has some sticky crap on it, but looks in good shape. I know it has a low mintage right under 3,000,000. Is it worth more than a buck?

To the right buyer it probably is, but not to me.

Here's why: the entire proof set - unimpaired - can be bought very cheaply. Why anyone would pay a premium for an impaired proof when the whole still sealed proof set can be bought very inexpensively is beyond me.

darn. I guess I will keep it until I find a 40% Ike and then cash it in

People never fail to amaze me. You might find someone that would pay $5 for it...even though with a little shopping around, an entire 1973 proof set can be bought for around $5.
