Whats wrong with this Coin?

I picked this IKE up at the recent ANA Show in Sacramento, CA and while scanning it for my inventory, noticed something unusual.



Care to guess what I noticed?

BTW, the slab is scratched there to the right of IKE's Portrait.

My first reaction was peg leg, but a closer inspection says no.

Hmmmm

 

I cannot find anything wrong, unless it's his mouth?

 

His mouth?

Nope. Nothing wrong with his mouth.

Shall I say that this is an embarrassingly glaring but not too obvious error? (If that makes any sense at all)

 

Is it not silver???

 

Is it doubling on the eagles wings on the reverse

 

Lee,

Could it be that there is way too much frost missing to
be a DCAM ?

Terry

 

BINGO!

I bought it because it's an MMS-001 mintmark and paid the dealers full $39.95 price for it.

When I was cropping the scans, the obverse just didn't look like Silver so I put it under the microscope and plainly saw the truth!



I need to NOT trust PCGS with regard to IKE's since they "consistently" misattribute them.

However, all is not lost since it'll go in my PCGS Slab Error Collection. I've sent meny back to them for correction but never again.

Shoulda kept one of these:



Shoulda kept this one too!



Oh Well.

 

Wasn't 74 the last year of 40% silver?

 

Iys numbered wrong for its type it should not be a97433 but rather a 32. ???

 

No. 1976 was.
