CCFPress Press Manager United States 1420 Posts	Posted Today 1H 12M ago PCGS - In 2008, a collector discovered this 1971-S Eisenhower dollar prototype strike hiding in a roll of silver dollars. Today, it's one of three known, shining in PCGS SP67. Can you spot the differences between this test strike and the official coin?

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6900 Posts	Posted Today 1H 0M ago The obverse looks mostly the same to me, except that the L and R (and maybe I) have weak or nonexistent serifs. The reverse looks different. First, Australia on Earth (although I knew that Earth was different on the prototypes). The USoA and EPU lettering is much thinner. The stars are more delicate. Also, the business strike crater outlines have been strengthened. The finish is also different—very glossy compared to a pebbly business strike finish. Report this Post to the Staff
