Here are a 1976-D Type 1 and Type 2 Eisenhowers for my Dansco. Notice the size of the lettering on the reverse. The images are by Bob Campbell, and I think he did an excellent job.

    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 ( :o ) 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.
