002 on VV site is a proof coin and yours looks like a business strike.http://varietyvista.com/13%20Eisenh...201973-S.htm

Thats defiantly a DD. And I think it's defiantly a unc in a cello pack? Proofs came in a hard plastic holder.

The mint did produce a Clad proof, a 40% silver B.U. and a 40% silver proof (in addition to the P and D mints)
I think this coin would be the silver BU edition.
But the apparent doubling here does not match any on VV that I can find.

Ondiwave,
Yours looks clad is it? All the ones on VV are proofs. Need better photos to be sure what is going on. The mint mark might be MD and GOD might be a doubled die.

Well it does look doubled, and a die chip on the MM.

(Is Coop MIA?) haven't seen him post in days.. (maybe he is hiding from the bitter cold we are experiencing here in (location undisclosed) after all the day time highs were only just barely shy of 70 for a high temp.)

That would mean that VV has not yet seen one and attributed it to the BU coin. If yours turns out to be a doubled die, then submitting it to them might be a good idea and get your name on it.

As Dearborn points out, the mint produced 5 different 1973 Ike's including 2 proof varieties (clad and 40%) a non proof 40% silver and clad Denver and Philly strikes.

The clad proofs went into the full mint sets.

The 40% proofs were sold in the faux wood grain box and the 40% non proofs were sold in the blue envelope. Hence 1971 - 1974 has the "Brown Ikes" and the "Blue Ikes".

Yours is clearly the non proof 40% "Blue Ike".

VV lists 2 DDO's for the Clad proof, 004 & 005 but none for the 40% non proof. (For some reason they chose CN to designate the clad proof, perhaps CN = copper nickel?)

I agree that it certainly looks like you have a DDO similar to all of those displayed on VV. Perhaps someone with more knowledge of the Ike collectors websites can help you clarify or point you in the direction of someone who can reliably attribute it as possibly a new find.
