  1. Hi I have had my collection for over 20 yrs now. So I was going thru things and organizing things. Come across this coin I wanted to bring to light a long time Ago. Just forgot about it.
    1971 S. - Eisenhower Proof. So obviously u can see by the pictures. What intrigued me or curiousity
    E Pluribus. You can see where the name was on back of this coin.
    I see date difference. Curious. What your thoughts

    Thanks

    Looks like a large counter stamp to me. Not an error more like PMD.

    The memorial was pressed into the coin by someone after it left the mint. This is the reason the E Pluribus looks the way it does and the date is different from the obverse.

    One more thing, it is 1971S Silver Business Strike. Not a proof.

    Here is what the proof looks like. 1971SPF_opt.jpg
    Your reverse should have this design.

    That counter stamp, if I'm not mistaken, is because of the Iranian Hostage Crisis.

    Welcome to C.T. As already stated...counter stamped
    Btw, please don't always expect kind responses on a public forum, as it's just not gonna happen.
    Grow thicker skin, and overlook the negative posts, is my best advice.
