Found some type II 72-P Ikes raw today.

Today's mail sure was fun. 
A few goodies, but the highlight was the OBW roll of 72-P Ikes and 83-P Kennedys. The Ikes by and large grade 63-64, with one solid 5 and a maybe 5. The 5's are T1's. The kicker is that in the middle of the roll, two coins have DEEP reverse strikes. I look closer, and they have no islands. They're in the high 63, low 64 grade range, but they're the first type II's I've ever found raw. The Kennedys were a little distracting. The obverse die was so badly abraded that Jack's nose was almost gone. Several of the coins are mark free with luster, but I don't like'em much. Happy hunting.

That puts you one up on me. I look for them at every show and shop and still haven't found one in any condition.
