1972 Type Ikes... I need reference pictures...

[WaxonWaxov]

Hello all,

 

Anyone know where I can find good, close-up pictures that show the differences between the Type 1,2, and 3 1972-P Eisenhowers?

 

I know the difference is in South America on the Earth in the distance on the reverse.

 

thanks

Thanks, Jay! You're the man!

Those pics make things a lot easier. It also helps that I have NGC-slabbed type 1 and 3.

 

I thought this one might be a possible type 2, but now that I've made the high-res scan, I'm pretty sure it's a type 1.

A weakly struck Type I Ike

That was my assesment as well. Although I think (from looking at the whole coins) it's a well-traveled type 1 rather than weakly struck.

Jay... that's fantastic! I've wanted a good reference but never asked.

 

THANKS!!

Here are fairly high-resolution photos of all major varieties:

At the bottom you'll see closeups of the Earth on the reverse of the different 1972 mint state types.

 

Hope this helps...Mike

Those are some Killer Ikes in that collection...I don't do a whole lot of Ikes, but I do know how hard they are to obtain in 65 or above on the business strikes.

 

I really like those 76'ers...our Liberty Bell back dropped by the Moon, a fitting tribute to the American resolve to fight for liberty and then fight on to be the first country in the free world to land on the moon. "Houston...the Eagle has landed."

 

The first moon landing by a human was that of the United States Neil Armstrong, commander of the Apollo 11 mission, accompanied by Edwin 'Buzz' Aldrin. On July 20, 1969, while their teammate Michael Collins controlled the command module Columbia, Armstrong landed the lunar module Eagle on the surface of the moon at 4:17:42 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time.

Have you ever watch the mini-series "From the Earth to the Moon"? If you have not, rent it watch it (I think it's about twelve hours) VERY interesting. It deals with the Mercury Program, the loss of Apollo 1 including Walter Mondale's exhaustive efforts to cancel the program, through the end of the program. In one memorable scene Deke Slayton stands before the first meeting of the Apollo Astronaughts and says "I don't know who the first man on the Moon will be, but I do know he just walked through that door and shook my hand."

How about this?
