<p>[QUOTE=&quot;19Lyds, post: 2091459, member: 15929&quot;]Kinda. Or so it seems.</p><p><br /></p><p>Actually, its a different font. One font, the type 1, is sans serif meaning no serifs while the other (type 2) is a font which has serifs.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]391695[/ATTACH]</p><p>Specifically, the &quot;M&quot; cones to sharp points.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]391696[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Again, look at top of the &quot;M&quot; .</p><p><br /></p><p>E PLURIBUS UNUM is also different in that on the Type 1, the &quot;U&#039;s&quot; line up!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]391697[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>There are difference on the Obverse as well but they are really, really minute. Such as, the &quot;R&quot; in LIBERTY is a pegleg on the Type 1 Obverse but has serif&#039;s on the Type 2 Obverse.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thounsands of dollars will go to the person that finds a Type 1 Obverse Die paired with a Type 2 Reverse.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The other IKE Types are shown below with regard to the specific earths but other difference do exist.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]391698[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>The Type 1 Reverse can be found on the 1971-1972 coins (Philly and Denver) while the Type 6 can only be found on the 1971-D coins. Some very rare Type 1 reverses DO exist on some 1971-S Proof coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Type 2 Reverse can be commonly found on the 1971-S Proof, 1972-S Proof and on some 1972 CnClad coins for 1972 (Philly mint only)</p><p><br /></p><p>The Type 3 Reverse can be found on 1972 Philly coins as well as 1973-1974 and 1977-1978 CnClad coins (Philly, Denver) as well as their SF CnClad proof counterparts.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Type 4 and 5 Reverses are the Bicentennial coins while the Type 7 Reverse is only found on Prototype coins of which 3 are known to exist.</p><p><br /></p><p>Each of the &quot;Year Type Variants&quot; are commonly known as Type 1 and Type 2 such as those Bicentennial Coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>This means that 1971 has two Types.
