1971-D $1 MS65 认证号34579104, PCGS号7407

PROOF PLANCHET - Coin #1 : This is one of eight 1971-D Ikes (struck on proof planchets) that were in the middle of an original bank roll from 1971- a real, authentic, bank-wrapped roll. The entire roll was submitted to PCGS by Roger Kadlac of Kadlac Coins (Orlando, FL), and 11 came back as MS65 and 9 came back as MS66! I purchased all 8 proof planchet 71-Ds graded MS65. This is coin #1. These coins are SUPER BRILLIANT. Some have a more satiny luster, while others exhibit glossy luster. I contacted Mr. Kadlac to ask about the origin of this roll. I could tell he was an honest, straightforward guy. He purchased several rolls late last year (2017) from another seller on eBay who had acquired a hoard of Ike rolls- original, "put-away" rolls from the 1970s. The hoard came from an estate sale. The seller apparently never opened the rolls to check the contents entirely. He said there were a LOT of GEM specimens to come out of that hoard. And believe me, he knows the difference between an original roll and a "made up" roll, as he calls it. The proof, to me, is that this single roll produced 11 MS65 and 9 MS66 specimens! Who in the world would manufacture a roll like this and then sell it without showing off the coins within- especially coins of this caliber? I believe these rolls were sold as truly unsearched bank rolls.
