What is the image on the first? Is it a some kind of doubling? The second,  looks like MS 66/67. Just my humble opinion though. Really curious about the first.  |

I am not sure.. where are you seeing doubling. I just cut these out of a pack b.c the fields looked really clean. It is hard to capture. good picture

I am reluctant to grade, but you know I have to comment on a lovely Eisenhower dollar. Very nice.  |

They'd both make MS-64, in my opinion. PCGS has tightened standards on 71-S Business strikes. I have one that should have made 67 come back 66 and it looked much better than the 66 I already had.

It's with a friend at the moment. I'll try to get you a photo or two, though.

Still stand with 66 on the second one. It appears to me that there is an image approx 1-2 mm left of Ikes nose. It appears to emanate from between the N and G in the motto and extends up to above his eye. If no one else sees it, it must be my IPad. It's hard to grade without it in hand. They're still excellent coins.

I would grade these better than 64.

Here's my 66. It's photographed to show all of the imperfections- which means we wobbled it until the lighting struck all the scratches and hits to the point where they were most visible. In hand this coin has out of this world luster and brilliance. This is certainly the type of coin that isn't for everybody- I went through hundreds of blue packs to pull this one.  Edited by cc99999

that's really just the three dimensionality of the motto peeking out from a slightly tilted 2d image. The obverse here has no less than 13 grade limiting features. I am working on an Ike grading book that will deal with this in detail...  Here's a quick sketch. Edited by cc99999
