j_h_s Pillar of the Community United States 1934 Posts	Posted 04/23/2008 09:38 am Is the difference between the Type 1 and Type 2 that 1 has Eisenhower and one has SBA? Report this Post to the Staff

j_h_s Pillar of the Community United States 1934 Posts	Posted 04/23/2008 09:45 am Strike that question...I see it has to do with the strike of the "S" -- yes? Report this Post to the Staff
coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 04/23/2008 09:52 am No, not the strike of the S...it's the type of S mintmark used on the dies. Look in a Red Book for photos. Report this Post to the Staff

FHDave New Member United States 48 Posts	Posted 04/23/2008 6:49 pm If it was a 72, it was not a proof. There are not any different types of IKEs for proof coins. The varieties for the 1972 are the 1972-P. There are three different obverses for the uncirculated 1972 IKE. Report this Post to the Staff
foundinrolls Pillar of the Community United States 3507 Posts	Posted 04/24/2008 02:44 am Hi, There are ,however many different die varieties (doubled dies) in the Eisenhower series and many are on proof coins. Also, the reverses of the 1972 P Ikes are the ones that are varieties. The varieties pertain to the appearance of the Earth as seen on the coin. There are also varieties of 1976 S proof coins as the lettering is different on each variety. I edited this to add that the varieties on the 1976 Bicentennial pieces the Type 1 and 2 coins were made at all three mints. Here is a partial list of die varieties on Eisenhowers. http://www.collectors-society.com/r...076&Tab=list So I am not sure what FHDave means. Thanks, Bill Edited by foundinrolls 04/25/2008 2:38 pm Report this Post to the Staff
