<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ike Skywalker, post: 3221932, member: 82381&quot;]I was lucky enough to cherrypick an unattributed 1971-D <i>Friendly Eagle</i> variety Ike! This coin lists at $190 (PCGS PG), but it sells in the real world market for around $150. I nabbed this one for $25 plus shipping- not too bad.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/1971-D-PCGS-MS65-1-Eisenhower-Dollar-Uncirculated-Certified-EC0641/302932752941?nordt=true&amp;ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&amp;_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/1971-D-PCGS-MS65-1-Eisenhower-Dollar-Uncirculated-Certified-EC0641/302932752941?nordt=true&amp;ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&amp;_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649" rel="nofollow">https://www.ebay.com/itm/1971-D-PCGS-MS65-1-Eisenhower-Dollar-Uncirculated-Certified-EC0641/302932752941?nordt=true&amp;ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&amp;_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s the reverse pic from the listing.

It was in a cabinet with not much light to see, but I could tell the Ike looked dark. So I had them get this out for me for inspection. The Ike exhibited some nice, rustic toning on both sides. At $4.99, it was a no-brainer for me, especially since all the coins had some degree of toning. This one will end up in my next Dansco album set.</p><p><br /></p><p>I scanned the mint set to show that this is basically how the set appeared to me from inside the cabinet. I couldn&#039;t tell how colorful the Ike was until I had it in hand.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]839001[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>The Ike really pops in direct light.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]839002[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
