Question for the Ike experts

Can anyone tell me the ratio of type III to type I. Today I went through 50 1972 Ike's and I found 10 Type III out of 50. Is this a common ratio or is not typical?

I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom I provide, then question the manner in which I provide it. I prefer you said thank you, and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon, and stand to post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to!

    I would say 3 to 2 in favor of Type 3's. Some come with nice toning......some come in mixed rolls of
    both Type 1 and Type 3. You want the mixed rolls that have (2) or (3) Type 2's sandwiched somewhere

  • Brian, are you estimating or calculating? Your answer agrees pretty close to my calculated ones using monthly mintage figures.
    You have the equivalent of 1.5 to 1 in favor of v 3. I calculate 1.445 to 1. This is ignoring the minor effect of any v 2's.
    I don't think you will find that many v 3's on the East Coast. I think a lot of Philly's production went to the casino's in Nevada since Denver's Ike production was shut down during this period.

    Sorry, I have to make one more correction. In my ratio, I did discard 100,000 apparent v 1's since I thought that was a close approximation of the the v 2's made. V 2 production figures are under review by the Ike group, but I doubt that we will never know for sure. Putting the suspected V 2's back into the V 1 mintage gives a ratio of 1.441. to 1.

    Edited to point out I was considering 1972 Philadelphia production only. I hope that was the question. Also to add Denver comment.

    I have no idea! I'm still too new to this series.
    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.



    The name is LEE!
