A Prooflike Ike Dollar

Yes it does.

Could it just be a brown box ike in crappy shape?

Good question. First, the crispness of strike of a proof coin is completely different to the strike here. A proof, even a low grade proof from older dies, will have a much sharper, crisp strike compared to what's seen here.

But, even more convincingly - proofs are made from a different reverse design type. Compare the earth on mine to a proof, as shown here:

 

That I did not know/remember. Thanks. So it's a shinny blue ike!

 

Your spot on in your analysis. There are though some really great strikes in the UNC I have seen several 73 Blue packs with reverse's like this.

 

I absolutely agree that there can be some really crisp business strikes. But, they still don't compare to the proof. Here is my other Ike - a 66 that has satiny surfaces. I bought it years ago because I thought I'd never get a true PL Ike. I think this one also has a pretty nice strike - but nothing like the crispness of a proof.

 

I'm blind.

 

I know some might not like the blue but I really do. In OGP.

Has an original Star Trek floating head in space kind of vibe.
