thingee Pillar of the Community United States 2177 Posts	Posted 06/19/2008 10:03 pm I'm not too farmiliar with these dollars but I noticed something that caught my attention. First is the bridge of the nose is raised and skinny and then there's a large well where itshould be filled. The next thing I noticed is the eye. It doesn't look like an eye should. This is the best shot I could get. Is this normal for an Ike? Image: 74dike.jpg 92.08 KB Report this Post to the Staff

thingee Pillar of the Community United States 2177 Posts	Posted 06/20/2008 2:56 pm Certainly could be. I hope I get a few more comments but I don't think many know much about Ikes since not many people collect them. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/20/2008 3:59 pm Looks like a severe cleaning removed part of the eye lid and the bridge of the nose. When a clash happens they try to remove the marks with a cleaning. Sometimes the cleaning is to harsh and it leaves a removal of some of the devices. That is what that looks like. You see this on the back of the neck on Lincoln Cents and next to the date/vest. Just where ever the excessive cleaning happened. You can see the scratches on the nose. Report this Post to the Staff
