  Nice pictures. The font is what distinguishes from the Type 1 and Type 2.

  More useless Bicentennial Ike trivia:

  Type 1

  • high relief obverse, low relief reverse
  • "fat" font reverse
  • "E" and "UNUM are not center justified to "PLURIBUS "; they are shifted to the right
  • All Peg-Leg R in "LIBERTY"

  Type 2

  • low relief obverse, high relief reverse
  • "thin" font reverse
  • All serifed R in "LIBERTY" (except the occasional Peg-Leg die)

  I always wished the Mint could have pulled off both a high relief obverse and reverse bicentennial coin. Probably would have led to stacking issues.

  The type 1 reverse is one of my favorite US coin designs.
  Loved it when they came out, still love it!

  How about a P Type 1? That is a hard coin to find in nice condition.

  Not an Ike fan ( ) but those look really nice.

  The alignment of the first "U" in "PLURIBUS" and the first "U" in "UNUM" is another quick check to see if you got a T1 or T2.
