    I know that this coin just by itself is valuable; but there are so many features that I think could raise the value of this coin:
    It is DD/D
    There is an E on portrait's temple.
    There are some unknown (by myself) features around the eye.
    In reverse (ONE DOLLAR) is fully and harmonically doubled .
    And some other irregularities .
    Appreciate your constructive comments.
    Be careful not electrocuted!

    I think you should take up another hobby.

    If the eagle can play the harmonica, you should submit it to the Guinness Book of Records.

    I think this one compares and is possibly MORE valuable.

    It is mostly almost half silver . . . . .

    I just got it today . . . . . .

    What you think you see is nonsense! Where the heck did you find the term "harmonically doubled"? Did you get that from one of your Etsy sources?

    Harmonically Doubled is when you've had too much to drink, look at a harmonica and see two of them instead of one.

    The only thing on your coin that's mint related is the filled D mintmark. However this is common on many coins minted in Denver in the 1970s so it doesn't add any additional value.

    All of the marks are circulation damage. None of it occurred at the mint. I'm not sure why you think the coin is valuable? With all of those contact marks, its only worth the same as any generic Ike (I think the retail is around $1.50 but am not positive).

    There may be some mechanical doubling, but absolutely no evidence of a true doubled die

    In your previous posts, its been recommended that you take some time and begin studying the mintIng process. The more you know about how coins and dies are made, the less time you'll waste on coins that are obviously damaged. This is a good link to start

    https://www.usmint.gov/news/inside-the-mint/how-coins-are-made-coin-production-terminology

    Wexler's site is also good to bookmark for doubled dies and RPM s. It also has a section on how coins and dies are made
    https://www.doubleddie.com

    If you plan to continue searching for errors, learning the minting process is a must.
