Guys... I'm not well versed on Eisenhower dollars, so please excuse this question. I'm trying to learn something... It looks to me that there are Islands to the right side of Florida; I also see flattening of design from 8-11 O'clock. Isn't that a Type 1? On the Type 2, it seems more obvious that there wouldn't be islands. Again... I'm not trying to out-smart you guys. So... After reading this thread, I took a look at a "Blue Ike" under my microscope. It's still in the mint packaging, so the scratches and fingerprint on the photos comes from the cello wrapping. I know there's a difference in quantities and the '72S is much less interesting. Do you think this is a Type II?   Edited by BamaBlue

I'd say it is a type 2.
9 rolls at the bank. WOW.
Any serious ERROR coins in there?
Other question, What percentage of the 180 coins, would you say were BU?

No serious errors, though I still plan to look a little closer for some clashed dies. And I'd say only about 10% were BU (and I'm a little lenient on those, haha), and most of those were bicentennials.

Bama, here is a page with all three... http://eisenhowerdollarguide.com/19...r-varieties/As you can see, the type 1 and 3 have very distinct islands, though in different positions. The type 2 really does not have any islands and is generally mushy and lacking the detail you in the other two types. Which is clearly what the OP has. The type 2 reverse was used for the silver Ikes, so I do believe ALL of them are type 2. It is the Philly clad coins that had all three types used on them. |

Thanks Smoke... your info and that site helped a lot. It had much better representations than the site I was looking at.

Of course, I say I'll take 'em all, and I end up walking out with 180 since he decided to keep a roll. They turn out to be nothing too special, a few nice BU coins mixed in, but then this one pops out, and I do a little happy dance since I'm almost sure its the Variety II. I'd just like to get a second opinion or two on this one, just to be sure
