this past weekend I was moving some of my coins around and noticed that I had a lot of brown box ikes.
looking through them with my 20x/loop all ten of the 72's were type 2.
I have one type 1 and one type 3 .
have some slabbed but have not looked at them yet.
also think I have more BB somewhere in my hoard.

All 1972 Brown Box Ikes should be Variety 2. The Variety 2 reverse is the normal proof (and silver uncirculated) reverse. https://goccf.com/t/261273#2206666That being said, must be nice to have so many just laying about.  |

again reread and this helps me, Amidst early difficulties producing the new Eisenhower dollars on copper nickel clad planchets, the US Mint had created three different reverse designs. The Type 1 design, prepared in low relief, was used for coins produced during the first year of issue. The Type 2 design had a high relief design and was used for the 40% silver Eisenhower dollars struck in 1972. The Type 3 design was created after more resilient die steel became available, allowing the copper nickel clad coins to be struck in higher relief. These three reverse types were used on different coins of the series with one exception. The 1972 Eisenhower dollars struck at the Philadelphia Mint used each of the different reverse types at various times during the year. This created three different varieties, with one of them representing a lower mintage rarity. |

Some 1972 clad are variety 2, which is why we list three varieties and not two.
