1973-S Ike Dollar Mated Pair, PR65
Clad Dollar Struck Through Silver-Clad Layer

1973-S $1 Clad Eisenhower Dollar -- Struck Through Silver Layer, Mated Pair -- PR65 NGC. Similar to modern clad coinage, a clad Ike dollar has two outer layers of 75% copper, 25% nickel and an inner core of pure copper. Proof 1973-S Ike dollars were struck in both silver clad and copper-nickel clad alloys. The silver clad proofs had outer layers of 80% silver and an inner core of 20.9% silver. To create the present mated pair, an outer silver-clad layer separated from a silver-clad planchet, and was fed together with a copper-nickel clad Ike planchet. The silver-clad layer was struck between the obverse die and the copper-nickel planchet. The struck silver-clad layer has a normal appearance when viewed from the obverse. The reverse exhibits an incused, reversed, and somewhat indistinct image of the obverse. The reverse of the copper-nickel clad dollar has a normal appearance, but the obverse appears blurry, since the strike from the obverse die was blunted by the silver-clad layer.
