I have looked at this in so many different ways, and I think (though extremely unlikely) that this could be a possible type 1. I do not have doubling on the Obverse but there is doubling on the reverse most noticeably in the "E". I will try and get some pictures of that posted soon. Report this Post to the Staff

3series84 Valued Member United States 65 Posts	Posted 11/26/2017 10:47 pm It's just really hard to find any good description of the differences. Just minor photos here and there. But I assume from the lack of responses that this might be a little known about variety? I've just never had this few responses from a post being up for so long. Report this Post to the Staff

chuckster 125 Pillar of the Community United States 4113 Posts	Posted 11/26/2017 11:55 pm Based on your pics, unfortunately your coin is not the Type 1 Proof Reverse. It is the normal Type 2 Proof Reverse for 1971. Here are pics from the PCGS site showing the Type 1 Reverse. Note the clear distinct islands below Florida. http://images.PCGS.com/CoinFacts/27...724_2200.jpg * The IKE GROUP Composite of 1971S Proofs, check out the Type 1 Reverse down the list for excellent close-up pics. http://www.ikegroup.info/?page_id=1138 Edited by chuckster 125 11/27/2017 12:01 am Report this Post to the Staff
spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 11/26/2017 11:57 pm Check out the link Fuzzy provided. Under "Varieties" you'll find the three Earth types. Here's a pic I made from PCGS showing the Type 1 1971-S reverse. Notice the flattened outline of the Earth to the WNW: Edit: I used the same pic that chuckster linked to.
