what's a talon head ike?

1976 P Type 2 reverse with a nice little die crack on the neck.
Plus a weird dip in the field just in front of Ike's face
between the raised area that can be seen in the photo
and Eisenhower's face.
Possibly a little to aggressive with a grinder on the die.
Who knows. Hopefully an expert can chime in on this.
in hand it looks proof-like hard to get that to show up
in photos.

Thanks Chuck,

When I first saw the photos that is what I was thinking also
is maybe that it was a die dent. But with the coin in hand under a
glass I can see polish lines between the raised area on the photo
and Ike's face. that same thing continues all the way up to
the top of Ike's head between the "E" and "R" of Liberty
with the line of polishing getting closer and closer to
the bust of Ike. The same type of polishing line that we see
on the Peg Leg Ike's in that area
Which cannot be seen in the photo.

WOW Very Nice Chuck
Can see that Talon Head a mile away.

Have you been over to the Ike Group web site and read about
the Copper Nickel (Not Silver) 74 S Proof Micro S Yet
that Brian, Herb and Mr Wexler and possibly
some others did some research on
and learned some cool stuff about?
The thread is called
74-S "Micro-S" Die gave birth to twins...A new DIVA is born!

Guess what was in the safe last night in the last box
of Ike's I spent an hour searching through
