The 1971 and 1972 business strike Eisenhower dollars were struck at lower relief than the Ike dollars that were made in 1973 through 1978. There are no known 1973 dollars struck with the hubs of 1972. 1972-P has three major varieties, which are commonly referred to as Type 1, Type 2, and Type 3, with Type 2 being the scarcest of the three.
In MS-65, the series should be relatively easy to assemble on any budget, with the exception of the 1972 Type 2, which can trade for as much as $2,500 in MS65- depending on eye appeal and other factors.
My advice to any collector of this series- concern yourself with eye appeal first and foremost. The grade should be a secondary concern.
