Message:: [QUOTE="jaceravone, post: 730039, member: 9474"]The Talon head designation is not recognized by any TPG at this time, although the IKE Group has been working with ANACS to designate one as such.  <a href="http://www.ikegroup.org/THa.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ikegroup.org/THa.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.ikegroup.org/THa.htm</a>  If you are looking for a "talon head" designation, you could always send the coin into the IKE GROUP and they will certify it either raw or slabbed as a DIVA coin.  DIVA stands for "Designated Ike Varieties"  <a href="http://www.ikegroup.org/divaform.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ikegroup.org/divaform.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.ikegroup.org/divaform.htm</a> Also, your Ike might actually be the more difficult to find "double talon head". I think it is in a nice coin, but not worth the time or money to send it in....unless money is not an issue, then go for it.  I have a talon head IKE slabbed by PCGS graded MS64.  I do collect IKE varieties and watch for these, but I bought mine on ebay already graded.   You end up saving tons of money doing it that way.  Good luck and congrats.[/QUOTE]
