Am I missing something here?

17 bids up to $700 for 2 1971 proof IKEs? The one on the left MIGHT be the Strong DDO, but $700?
Neither look like the big DDR.
Just curious, and trying to learn. What don't I see?

I don't have your answer, but I do have this coin sitting at the bank. Will have to check it out.... Enjoy

Looks like two nuclear snipe bids colliding, as most of the action from the under bidders was under $75.

In his questions at the bottom, someone approached him to end it early. There is definitely something cherry pickable about these coins.

Yes, if you're a math guy and not a numismatic guy and you bought these 2 for $700, you're missing $698.
If I win, please donate the prize to a Jefferson nickel collector.

Come on, there must be something there. No reason for two people to bid that much unless they know something we don't.

Does it have something to do with the Peg Leg? Or should I say lack of a Peg Leg

Should I get residuals for coming up with the name??

BTW, there was a time when these were really difficult to come by and pout of the hundreds of 71-S Proofs I've gone through, I only found the one! I think the todate, there are less than a dozen examples and they are a HOT ticket item for IKE Collectors since there is no mistaking that little worm!

.....but all of the '71 Ikes that this seller is selling have night crawlers? There are other ike proofs that they've sold in the past for hundreds.
Just trying to learn.
