Peaceman; Estimated mintage: 250,000 to 500,000. per "The Ike Group"
Your coin is rarer in that you can clearly see the Shuttle Craft ( pic 3)
(Early Die State FEV!)
Most FEV's are later die stages and unable to see any part of the shuttle.
CONGRATS on a beautiful coin!
The big thing to look for on any 1971D FEV is for the 1971D DDO / DDR! with monster doubling on the Motto "IN GOD WE TRUST" on the Obverse and doubling of the 2 LL's in Dollar on the Reverse. Huge notching on all letters!
I was lucky enough to find one last year in a bag of Ike's and got it attributed by Dr. Wiles (CONECA) and slabbed by ANACS (John Roberts).
Approx mintage of the 1971D FEV DDO-001/DDR001 is 5000 to 10,000 total!
