So...as I'm walking out the door of this coin show today I see a bowl of Ikes for 3 bucks each. I looked though all of them, about 100 ikes, looking for clashes or peglegs and didn't seem to find any. But I did pluck these 6 out of the pile, which I think are fairly nice business strikes. But perhaps folks can help me identify the types of each of these coins: First Up is a 1971 in very decent shape and which, despite the photo, is not orange in white light.

OK - I think this is a second photo of the first coin, but i lost track of my indexing http://www.mrbrklyn.com/coins/01042009/ike_rev_71_01_09.cn2.1.png http://www.mrbrklyn.com/coins/01042009/ike_obv_71_01_09.cn2.1.png
This one is a second 1971 Ike. This time I got sick of the Orange and fixed the color http://www.mrbrklyn.com/coins/01042009/ike_obv_71_01_09.cn3.1.png http://www.mrbrklyn.com/coins/01042009/ike_rev_71_01_09.cn3.1.png This one has some weakness in the strike.
This one is a 1972 which was available. This is one of the coins that has a heavy eye brow Archive Photos http://www.mrbrklyn.com/coins/01042009/ike_rev_72_01_09.1.png http://www.mrbrklyn.com/coins/01042009/ike_obv_72_01_09.1.png
OK moving on to a nice 1974 example This coin still have that ringing luster in the reverse http://www.mrbrklyn.com/coins/01042009/ike_obv_72_01_09.1.png http://www.mrbrklyn.com/coins/01042009/ike_rev_74_01_09.cn1.1.png
This is a second 74, actually a 1974 D http://www.mrbrklyn.com/coins/01042009/ike_obv_74_01_09.cn2.1.png http://www.mrbrklyn.com/coins/01042009/ike_rev_74_01_09.cn2.1.png
Now we have a very presentable 1978 http://www.mrbrklyn.com/coins/01042009/ike_obv_78_01_09.2.png http://www.mrbrklyn.com/coins/01042009/ike_rev_78_01_09.1.png
There are only Type 1 1971s, so not too sure about that question. Your 1972 is a Type 1 as well. For more info, here's a decent site: http://www.supercoin.com/iketypes/ John
