Picked these up today at the local shop for $2.20. I'm not sure about the FEP but I'm pretty sure of the type 2. Can anyone give a ballpark on value?
This one I think is the FEP

Never tell the dealer the he is being cherrypicked. shame on you!
Russ, NCNE
I'll give you $5.50 each which will give you a nice tidy profit!
No ??
Drats!
The T2 looks like an MS63 which could bring you close to $200 maybe more if its graded by PCGS. The FEV looks a little worn so AU58 to MS62. Raw it could bring you $15 to $20 and graded (provided it went MS62) a tad bit more.
My FEV's have been depressed lately because PCGS won't recognize them so I've been keeping them put away cause I'm tired of listening to their whining! When PCGS starts attributing them though, I'll bring em out again! They should fetch very decent prices.
BTW, never, ever tell a dealer that you just cherrypicked a Type 2 from him. It might not mean anything when you tell him but I could almost guarantee he'll do some research and then your cherrypicking days will be numbered, if not over, with him. $1.10 is an unheard of price, from a dealer, who knows its a type 2. Super Score!

Check out that FEV real close for either a DDO or a DDR or a DDO/DDR. They come in four flavors: plain, DDO, DDR, and DDO/DDR.
For the obverse, the IN in the Motto can show nice doubling to the lower right.
For the Reverse, check out the OF in US of A and the C in America. Lower left on the OF and the lower right hand side of the C. I don't have a photo handy for this one.

Forgive my lack of knowledge, what is a type 2 reverse?

The Eisenhower Dollar came with 6 distinct reverse types.
Type 1 = Three Distinct Islands off the coast of Florida mainly to the East. (RDV-001) Produced in 1971 thru 1972. All 1972 Denver coins have a Type 1 reverse. Some 1972 Philly coins have a Type 1 reverse.
Type 2 = Three Islands off the coast of Florida but they are represented by incused lines instead of devices that rise above the fields. This particular reverse is actually a Proof Reverse Die that got onto the Philadelphia Production floor. Speculation and research shows that only one die was used. Its also referred to as a high relief die since it was intended for Proof Production which can produce high relief coins. (RDV-002) Speculation is that less than 130,000 coins are of the Type 2 reverse which is considered rare by many folks.
Type 3 = Three distinct Islands off the coast of Florida but more centered under Florida. (RDV-003) The reverse showed up in the later stages of production for the Philly coins and represents a higher relief than the Type 1 coins produced earlier in the year.
Type 4 = The First reverse for the BiCentennial Coins where the lettering around the outside was broad and flat. (RDV-004) These were produced during the 1975 Production run. All 1975 Mint sets have the Type 4 reverse. For BiCentennial coins these are referred to as Type 1's.
Type 5 = The Second reverse for BiCentennial Coins where the lettering around the outside was narrower but higher in relief. (RDV-005) These were produced during the 1976 Production run. All 1976 Mint sets have the Type 5 reverse. For BiCentennial coins these are referred to as Type 2's.
Type 6 = Six to Seven distinct Islands off the coast of Florida along with modified craters to the left of the Eagle which also did not have a furrowed brow. Commonly known as the Friendly Eagle Variety. This reverse is only found on 1971-D coinage and is the latest Eisenhower discovery. Speculation is that less than 500,000 of these were minted, possibly less.

1971-S = Type 1
1972-S = Type 2
1973-S = Type 3
There, now you know as much as I do.

19Lyds,
Thank-you, I now have a better understanding of the T2 reverse.

Why did, if you know, PCGS stop attributing them? Do any of the other TPGs?
Thanks, Mike

PCGS has never attributed the FEV's (1971-D RDV-006) They'll grade them but they don't attribute them which is beyond my scope of understanding. The reverse is easily spotted and identified wuithout a loupe much the same as a Type 2 is. Keep in mind though, that it took like forever to get PCGS to attribute the Type 2 coin so I suspect we're seeing pretty much the same scenario.
Currently, ANACS is the only TPG that attribute's the RDV-006. They also recognize them with DDO's, DDR's, and DDO/DDR's so its a nice start.
What the Eisenhower Dollar really needs, is to get into the public eye with a serious collector base. Too many individuals view the IKE as an ugly, common coin when the reality is that high grade examples are difficult to come by and very nice looking coins. There is also a varitable gold mine of die vaieties out there just waiting to be discovered.
The IKE group has been hammering on PCGS for about a year or two now looking for the attribution and inclusion in the IKE Varieties set. Perhaps in another couple of months we'll see some changes. Perhaps the RDV-006, perhaps some Peglegs and some nice DDO's. It could be quite exciting when the registry set gets reworked!

I have some attributed in ICG holders.
I know for a fact that they do peglegs:
