    73-D. It's very lustrous but the photos dont show it very well.

    I attempted to image the MM for a RPM. What are your impressions?

    The lighting is slightly off on this but this is a beautiful coin with the toning action. I went through a few 73S Browns yesterday to pick this one up.

    If I remember correctly, was there an Ike that had a Lunar module on it?

    My only Ike. I think this 1971 S is a silver collector's edition or some such name. 1971 S US 1 d PR obv.JPG 1971 S US 1 d PR rev.JPG

    It’s a brown box 1971-S proof.

    It’s 40% silver.

    I just completed my 4th Eisenhower Dollar Dansco album. The last two holes I filled were the 1972-S silver business strike and the 1976-S silver proof.

    I also picked up this 72-D because of its clean, satiny fields. I really like the striation lines as well.

    I Photograph my coins with my smart phone and it’s not the easiest task. Are you using such a smart phone or a regular camera and do you have any tips.

    I recently acquired a second Nightcrawler DIVa (1S2-401) from Brian Vaile of the Ike Group. It is an upgrade to my previous 67DCAM, but this new one (68CAM) does not have the additional struck-thru error present. So, the 67DCAM specimen retains its unique status as the only known struck-thru fiber/thread inclusion Nightcrawler. The "nightcrawler" itself is a hubbed-thru debris artifact. I've included a comparison photo below. This is my favorite Ike variety for sure, and there aren't many around. Last time I checked I believe there were approximately 20 known examples.
