I think all 72 proof Ike's are type 2. You need to find this reverse on a business strike

Yes, type II. Look at the leg of the R in DOLLAR, see how it curls at the end, type II. Straight block letters wouldn't be.

That type 1/type 2 classification only applies to the bicentennial issues. There are 3 types of 1972 Ike reverses, which are chiefly differentiated by the shape of the earth and the arrangement of the islands therein |

I may be mistaken, but I believe you're looking for no islands below florida,,that will indicate you need to look at the possibility that it is then a hi relief Ike 1972p

The coin doesn't have any islands below Florida.
Sorry I'm very new to all of this.

OK, to start, here are two sites that you can use for Ike info.. http://www.ikegroup.info/ and http://eisenhowerdollarguide.com/To show the different 1972P types, look here.. http://www.ikegroup.info/?page_id=184OK, so to answer the question, type 1,2 or 3 does not apply to the proof issues, only to the P minted business strike coins. The Brown Box Ikes for 72 do not have any "types" that I am aware of. Quote:
That type 1/type 2 classification only applies to the bicentennial issues. Not so. As shown, there are indeed type 1 and 2 (as well as 3) 1972P Ikes. |

Iraqandroll was saying the Ike in question was a type 2 based on the criterion for the bicentennial varieties (bold/thin lettering), and I was correcting that. I did mention the 3 varieties of 1972 in my original post. (about which I do appreciate the info and links you posted)  |

iraqandroll,
So is the leg of the R another way to classify type I,II,III in the 1972 Ike?

A lot less confusing if you
just look at and learn the 3 different
types of the earth on the reverse.
What you do want to find is the 1972-P type 2 (#1)
and the 1976 P or D type 1 (#2) I believe the D is scarcer.
The 76 type 1 has block lettering instead of serif.
Also the values of these have gone down as of late.
If just for value high AU/MS coins only.
