- 1972 Eisenhower Dollar. FS-901. Type II Reverse. MS-65 (PCGS).
Particularly appealing for this eagerly sought variety, both sides are ringed in gorgeous peripheral toning of iridescent reddish-gold, powder blue and champagne-apricot. Highly desirable Gem Mint State preservation for the variety that the Ike Group has crowned "The King of the Ikes." All circulation strike issues/varieties in this series are challenging to locate in the finer Uncirculated grades, the coins generally roughly handled by government employees and, subsequently, banks. A pleasant exception, this piece is minimally marked and generally smooth in hand. Only a small percentage of the Philadelphia Mint's generous mintage of 75,890,000 Eisenhower dollars in 1972 are of the Type II Reverse hub style, identifiable by a rounded Earth with indistinct islands. This reverse is generally seen on Proofs of 1971 and, even more so, the silver clad issues of 1972. Combining absolute scarcity with condition rarity, this noteworthy Gem is sure to see spirited bidding among advanced specialists in this underrated modern dollar series.
Provenance: From the Bimyway Collection.
PCGS# 97409. NGC ID: 2587.
