This is what is on ALL 1971, 1971-D, 1971-S Silver Business Strike and 1972-D Business Strikes. It is on &quot;some&quot; of the 1972 Business Strikes. Look at the Islands off the coast of Florida. Draw a centerline down Florida and you&#039;ll see that all the Islands are generally set off to the right.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u8/lcl1119/IKEs/Types/T1EarthLabeledW.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Below, is the Type 2 Reverse. Notice the difference between Type 2 and Type 1 in that the islands on the Type 1 are in &quot;relief&quot; while the islands on the Type 2 are not. In actuality, the islands on the Type 2 are formed by &quot;incuse&quot; lines and they literally have no relief at all. This reverse was used on ALL 1971-S Silver Proofs, ALL 1972-S Silver Proofs AND Silver Business Strikes. It also appeared on about 400,000 CnClad 1972 coins. It is called the Type 2 Reverse because the Type 1 Reverse was issued first in early 1971 while the Silver Proof coins were not released until early October of 1971 (2,180 reported) and December 1971 (1,219,990). Release numbers are based upon US Mint figures.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u8/lcl1119/IKEs/Types/T2EarthLabeledW.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>There are other Types of Reverses but none as significant as the Type 1 Reverse on a Proof 1971-S coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
