Krispy,
I think the Earth looks weak because of the way the light is falling across the
coin. Grade I would say is a MS64-65 due to Ike's Jaw Line and some marks
on the Eagle.

Mr. Brooklyn is that 71-S a PPL?
looks like there is a break in the frost on the "O" in GOD at the 7:30
position and the "R" in LIBERTY looks like a pegleg

 

Incredible example. How are you storing it?

Ruben

 

Not sure what PPL stands for but its not a Peg Leg in the R.

 

mrbrklyn,

Give this a read and break out the Loupe You may be pleasantly surprised:smile
Then again I may be wrong.

I store it in a card board 2x2
I just noticed that was my 71-S

Terry

 

I'd get that into an archive quality hard plastic coin holder, FWIW. I'll read that link tonight, but looking at it quickly, I still don't think that you have a pegleg on that coin. If anything, it looks like an early strike with the fattening of the leg of the R about where it should be in a high quality strike.

... unless we are talking about different coins

 

Yes Sir, we are talking about different coins
I already had Rob Ezerman at the Ike Group look at mine.
I was talking about the 71-S you posted

Terry

 

You think my coin is a pegleg? I've reviewed my Ikes and I never determined any to be a pegleg. I'm not even sure which Ike that was since I pulled it out mostly to test the new camera. I'll look again. I was joking about guessing the year and type, but if you did, I tip my hat to you.

Was your coin, the one with the supersharp cameo, was that determined as a Pegleg variety?

Ruben

 

"Was your coin, the one with the supersharp cameo, was that determined as a Pegleg variety?"

Ruben,
It was determined at this point that it is probably just an old die state proof die
that the dies had been polished a number of times.
Due to the shrinking of the size of the stars on the reverse.
All of this was done with photo's with Mr. Ezerman.
After the release of the new Eisenhower Dollar book at the
August Boston ANA Convention I may send it to him.
So that he can look it over in hand along with
another that I think could almost be a twin to yours that I have.

I see that star but I don't know. It seems like an early strike to me. Those are very deep cameos.

 

Nice Ike's!!

Good Job Krispy

 

Chris, I'm clueless.....:computer:

 

No worries Ken, just check your "test" thread for some advice you can follow.

 

Thanks for your help Chris. I'm gonna have to play with it but not right now.

 

Does This Count?

Two Shots for the same coin. Neither is adequate.

This shows surfaces, but not the cameo.



This shows cameo, but details get washed out. Nice shots of my camera lens.
