christian_cyclist Valued Member United States 284 Posts	Posted 03/08/2009 7:54 pm I have a 1972 Ike and it's probably in XF condition. What type is it? It's really hard to take a decent picture of the earth. Here's my first attempt to post. I'll guess it's a type 3. -- Boris Report this Post to the Staff

christian_cyclist Valued Member United States 284 Posts	Posted 03/08/2009 8:35 pm Yeah, I definitely don't have a Type 2. The Type 2 seems to have no islands. Mine has something but I can't tell if it's type 1 or 3. The condition seems weak. -- Boris Report this Post to the Staff

christian_cyclist Valued Member United States 284 Posts	Posted 03/09/2009 12:07 am There were three different patterns of the planet Earth. The differences between each pattern is very slight, but noticeable if the coin is in minty condition. When the coin is worn, like mine, then it's harder to discern (at least for me). -- Boris Report this Post to the Staff

Because of this, and the shape of Florida, I think this could be a Type 2.

christian_cyclist Valued Member United States 284 Posts	Posted 03/09/2009 3:26 pm I am getting more and more tempted to send this Ike to a TPG. The thing is probably in XF-45 condition. I got it in a bulk Ike purchase. Could someone like ANACS grade the coin and determine it's type? -- Boris Report this Post to the Staff
atlas580 Valued Member United States 114 Posts	Posted 03/09/2009 4:15 pm Ok I see now. I didn't know that about the IKE's thanks for sharing the info. Report this Post to the Staff

Just make sure they will recognize and note the variety on the slab. Not all TPG's will do this. I have never sent a coin in, so I would definitely await more advice before sending it in. You might even want to post this question in the TPG forum.

stewart Pillar of the Community United States 1126 Posts	Posted 03/10/2009 07:46 am christian_cyclist It is a Type 2 reverse. The dies used were proof dies for coins of the time. From the picture I can not tell if it is a proof coin that got into circulation of if it is a regular production coin. if it is a "S" mint mark it will be the proof. if it a "P" ( no mint mark) it will be the one your hoping for.
