[QUOTE="petro89, post: 1656218, member: 17048"]So I've been more or less searching for a 72 Type 2 Ike for a while (despite already having an ANACS graded March dies example in my collection) I've really wanted to find one at face value cause thats how I roll :devil: Well...I finally got one!! Funny thing is that a friend of mine that works at a bank saved me 195 Ikes that a customer recently brought in.

Well there was nothing good there. I even checked the 2 or 3 71D's for the friendly eagle...no dice. So I go to dump the 195 into the bag I had around 100 Ikes in already that I got maybe a year ago. The plan was to take them to the bank and cash them out for some silver or gold. I paused and said to myself.. "ummm I don't think I ever checked the 100 in the bag!" Well I don't know if I ever did or not, but the 2nd to last coin was a 72. And viola! A type 2!! :D Low-end AU (and Ike has some schmootz on his nose), but I'll take it any day!
