Potential Type 2 1972 Ike Dollar
I've been looking at this for hours today, it doesn't seem to match either type 1 or type 3. I have a type 1 and it doesn't look anything like it. There are no islands present below Florida and it seems to match up with a PCGS example. Can I get a confirmation as to what type this is because I am skeptical on calling it a type 2 as it is the least common out of the 3 types for the 1972 Ike Dollars.

I can't tell which coin is which, you need to just post your coin in question.

Re: Potential Type 2 1972 Ike Dollar
So is this coin a type 1 or 2? The shape of Florida looks like that of the type 2 as well as the lack of the prominent islands. There is also weakness to the strike on the left hand side of the globe which is also present on the type 2 in the right place. Linked below is of a Type 1 that I have and know is a type 1, my other coin on the other side shows that it is different in the shape of Florida, islands, and weakness on the left. So would this be a type 2 or a type 1 as previously said earlier in the forum?

Type 2 does not have islands but a trench looking shape. Don't look at the rest of the Earth.

Re: Potential Type 2 1972 Ike Dollar
What would be possibly die polishing marks be a telling sign or no? Are they unique to a set of coins minted by a certain die? I linked two images below that show similar polishing marks and die scratch. Thank you for taking the time to answer these questions, i'm just really curious.

Re: Potential Type 2 1972 Ike Dollar
A good look at the closeup pic of your earth you posted and I can see why there is legit confusion. I suspected this - ran into it myself when I first started searching Ikes.
Here is you earth next to all three types as also posted above: Your islands do not line up with T1 or T3 perfectly. But this can be due to a worn die.
The problem is that T2 does not have islands. As Daniel said, T2 has an incuse trench.
Are yours incuse and the picture makes them look like they stand above the surface? Admittedly, their profile looks similar to the marks on the T2 as well.
Another online resource says to look at the shape of Florida. On T2 Florida is supposed to be more pointed and point more southward - compare yours and the T2 pic and they look alike. However, this can also be due to a worn die.
I have seen other resources say to compare the shape of the earth. T1 is definitely flattened from 8:00 to 11:00. Yours is not (look at the pic you put with "Type 1 and Type?"
In fact of the three earth shapes, your look most like T2.
And one more thing...I saw one source that also called the trench a "mega island," but also said it is INCUSE.

Re: Potential Type 2 1972 Ike Dollar
I tried to get the best image that I could. It looks to be incuse, I will look at it more, but as I can see it now it looks to be incuse. Looks similar to other pcgs images. There is something defined within said trench, it does not rise above the edges of the trench, but looking at other pcgs images, it looks to be there in those as well. But again as to me right now, area seems to be incuse.
Edit: the top image is just to show similar details between mine and a pcgs example looking straight at it forward so the circled part isn't just an island, its just comparing details in the image itself. The second image is to show that it is incuse
Edit 2: I found a die gouge that lines up with examples as well, 3rd image added

We don't need an example, we just need an image of YOUR coin only.
