babysitr Pillar of the Community United States 1339 Posts	Posted 10/17/2014 11:36 am I am playing with Ike dollars here of late, and just bought an interesting one. Probablly paid too much for it, but, I'm into scarce coins and I think this one fits that well.The Talons can easily be seen with the naked eye,and the moon line can also,but is less distinct. It also has a slight Hair Lip Clash.Please give me some opinions as to the rarity and value. Hopefully some Ike guys will chime in. Maybe even J. Buck will give his opinion, Thanks to all * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/18/2014 4:47 pm Actually they are not all talons. There are part of the olive leaves in that area and the legs. The talons are much small than what you are seeing on your coin. Edited by coop 10/18/2014 4:48 pm Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/18/2014 5:00 pm They are from clashes. Created when there is no planchet between the dies. Thus created, not a variety as the die was normal until this event happened. Probably later polished off the obverse die. Report this Post to the Staff
babysitr Pillar of the Community United States 1339 Posts	Posted 10/18/2014 5:11 pm This same coin was talked about over at coin talk and the IKE Group. Someone at the Ike group felt it is worth about $25. It's ANACS now, so that opinion may change somewhat. I am not sure if this coin is a big deal or just something strange.I just purchased it after grading, and do enjoy owning it. It has a good home now! Report this Post to the Staff
