You definitely got a nice one! Would you be so kind as to take pictures when it comes in and post them here?
1970-78 P-D-S Ike's today are one of the hottest coins to find more Die variety so keep hunting:thumb:
Scanners are "NOT" very good at showing toning on a coin as seen below. So I created these composite photo's.

I really like this one, because most toned proofs you have to turn the coin into direct light to see the toning. This one is exactly how you see it, straight on, in normal light.
Hmm, never noticed. It does look a little strange. Here it is compared to another 74-s brown boxer. It certainly looks stubby compared to the other one. So yeah, I have no clue. A quick check on the Ike Group site..Maybe this: "1. DIVA SP 1974-S MICRO-S --- The S appears smaller than the DIVA 1974-S "S/S Doubled Punch" mintmark and there is proof field visible in both eyes." "DIVA SP 1974-S MICRO-S or the Silver Proof 1974-s (Wile’s Style1) mint mark has been used across many years and many denominations of coins. In the 1974 Eisenhower Dollars it is estimated that approximately 10,000 were minted. The low estimated mintage makes this coin a natural selection for inclusion in any advanced Eisenhower Dollar Collection."
