1977 Eisenhower Dollar with extremely raised head

I was wondering if anyone has ever seen an Eisenhower dollar with this raised of a head. It’s hard to show in picture but from the cheek to the ear it is raised up and a slight bit deformed. Anyone know about this type of error?

Your coin has been doctored not an error,someone cleaned it etc and just circulation wear and tear but still a dollar.

 

That piece almost looks 'medalic' in nature. Not an expert on Ikes so I can't help with assessment, but your photogs are stellar. Welcome to the forum, and someone will be along soon to help out.

 

Looks like an(s)actually if so it was originally a nice looking proof,sure had a rough 45 years.

 

A shot of the reverse might be helpful, Zach........

 

It appears to be an impaired clad proof, worn flat at it's highest points. Or as suggested by @green18 an image of the reverse might show something, Possibly an area of impact. Great photos and welcome to CT

 

Your coin is a proof and that is an S mint mark. It has been circulated so now it’s an impaired proof. As a proof is was created as a pristine coin. Being circulated is why it looks the way it does. The current value would be $1.00.

Welcome to CT @Zachary Davenport. If you have studied how U.S. coins are minted, you would understand that the dies used are cut from a master die and there would be no way the device (details of a coin) could be raise more than the original design, so if it was a real U.S. coin, it couldn't be a "mint error" of any type.
Good luck on future finds, and thank you for posting Full Image photos. My old eyes appreciate it.

 

Looks like it has been exposed to high heat and a bubble between the clad layers has expanded. Then it was cleaned to remove the oxidation.

 

It does look kind of nice tho. Stay with us. These guys know just about anything with coins and the things they don't know, they know people that does know.
Best of Luck.

 

Welcome to CT!

All that needs to be said about the coin is said.

GREAT pictures! AND you did well in asking specific questions regarding your coin (Many new to numismatics post "What you think of this?" with no explanation of what they are seeing) Kudos to you for all that

A couple of suggestions:

When posting pictures to upload, choose full size rather than thumbnail(the reverse was posted as thumbnail).

Always post both sides of a coin when showing us, as many times diagnostics can be found on the opposite side of the coin. Along with full pictures, close ups of any areas of concern so we can, hopefully, see what you are seeing, this helps us assist you

 

Welcome to CT. Right direction wrong coin, better luck ahead for sure. Keep posting good luck.

 

This is most likely.

 

Great photos.
