[QUOTE="19Lyds, post: 1762025, member: 15929"]Maybe you should know what you're buying "before" you buy it?? BTW, stay off of that Rinky Dink web page you posted since nobody EVER determines the Type of an Eisenhower Dollar by the "R" on the Obverse. Yes, the "R" is different but not in the way they've described it. Type 1 BiCentennials have PegLeg R's (where the "left" leg is straight) and the Type 2 BiCentennials have a "funny foot" serifed R. In reality "TYPE" is ALWAYS determined by the Reverse of the coin where on the Type 1 Reverse, the lettering appears wide but it has no serifs while the Type 2 Reverse lettering appears narrow and has serifs. [ATTACH=full]279008[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]279009[/ATTACH] Additionally, the 40% Silver coins are available as Business Strikes (in Uncirculated 3 coin mint sets) OR as Proof Strikes (again in 3 coin sets) [ATTACH=full]279011[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]279013[/ATTACH] I have no idea what those folks were thinking but they are incorrect in their descriptions which is what is confusing you.[/QUOTE]
