Lee, sorry i did not get back to you but i wanted to do some research and verify what you have said. Unfortunatly your wrong about not being a member of the IKE GROUP Forum, in order to comment you must sign in and then you are allowed to make comments, you can not make a comment without being a member. You have been a member since 2008, why did you say you were not a member? Secondly, as to your defining booted thrown out and protraying you simply are telling the truth or how it is i find not a good thing, you said it to hurt my feelings and was not very nice to hear from a fella i love to read his writings. As to my Prototype i found, why must you try to take credit on something you had no say in. I found the coin, i paid and shipped it to ANACS where i paid a extra fee to have it researched. Since it is a research item ofcourse John Roberts recieved the coin and evaluated-- that is what he does and is a employee of ANACS, he immediatly saw that the reverse was like your coin you found in 2008 and took pictures of it and DID SO without my permission. The coin was immediatly shipped to Dr. Willes as ANAC procedures require. John Roberts should not be given credit for the find since he did not find it, you can not be given credit for the find or insisting John Roberts send it to Dr. Wiles because you are not part of ANACS and the coin was already sent by the time you got the bootleg pictures. So here we are, you get or want credit for my find in seven books which you do NOT DESEARVE. If you will note in CONECA you will find i am the finder not John Roberts nor YOU. As i recall you disagree with me about the big guys in coin collecting ARE NOT IN politics, i think this is a great example of the problem in our collecting--its not enough that you have your own prototype but you must steal the tunder from annother who found a SIMILER coin. I ask in the future IKE publications you be removed as a co fiinder of my Prototype. The only person that can speak for my coin in anyway in pictures and writings is DR. Rob Zimerman and I will ask him to remove you from any mention in dealing with my find IN ALL FUTURE PUBLCATIONS. HOWEVER--I do think you are a important asset to the hobby and i look forward to reading other coin articles you may write-chuck

 

The SBA set is almost the quintessential modern set. It is short and most of the coins in it are pretty common in unc. It has relatively few varieties though the near date might be a big winner since its population was grossly overestimated early on and it is very tough in high grade.

There are two coins that stand out in this set, I believe; the '79-S and '81-S is gem condition. These two are just plain tough. Only about 1% of the mint set only '81-S is Gem. This is hardly rare but consider that this means only about 20,000 coins are still available and bringing them to market would require far higher prices. Also is the simple fact that near-Gems aren't much more common and even nice chUnc coins for this date aren't truly common.

It just wouldn't take many collectors to bump up against the supply limitations. Anyone who has ever tried this set in superb grades will know none of the coins is easy. The easiest is the '81-D but it's not really common in MS-67.

 

This wall of text just toppled over and killed my dog........

 

I took you up on this and bought one to put away. At only 396,000 mintage I agree that it's a good one that is really undervalued.

 

WOW ….. Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed.:devil:

Being a member of a chart room or message board does not make you a member of the parent organization. The “Ike Group” is a small select group of people that have established a message board among other things. If someone receives permission to post on the message boards’ belonging to the “Ike Group”, that doesn’t mean that they are full fletched members of the parent organization.:rollling:

As far as giving or receiving credit for a “find”, this is all just ‘hog wash’. Who is to say that someone didn’t find the same variety years ago? CONECA doesn’t list anyone as finding (discovering) a variety, Dr. Wiles will list who “reported” the variety to CONECA in the master listings. I submit that reporting a variety to be included within the master files is different then discovering / finding the variety in the first place. Example, I purchased a 1973-S Kennedy half dollar from another collector that saves varieties, the doubling on the reverse was unique, we submitted the coin to Dr. Wiles and he gave it a new listing as the DDR-003. I did not find (discover) the coin in question but we are mentioned as “reporting” the coin to CONECA.

The same goes with your coin, if ANACS (John Roberts) is the one that submitted the coin to CONECA then Dr. Wiles should maintain CONECA’S records as who submitted the coin to him for review period. If it meant that much to you, you should have submitted the coin directly to Dr. Wiles yourself.

Just my two cents on the subject

 

Sorry about the Medoraman!

I'm sure that folks can see that Sluggo's recollections do not necessarily coincide with recorded fact but thats just Chuck. He kinda reminds me of Rascal in his defensive posturing.

BTW, I am NOT a member of the IKE Group and never have been. Sure, I post on the IKE Group Forum but if I ever made a public statement that I was a "member" of the IKE Group, those guys would be on me like junkyard dogs! The IKE Group consists of eight specific folks that happen to have a forum for discussion of IKE Dollars. You don't have to be a "member of the IKE Group" in order to get forum posting privileges which, evidently, Sluggo just does not understand. But then he confuses "clubs" with "forums" so its understandable.

As for posting my clarification of the terms "clubs" and "forums", how could that possibly have been interpreted as a "slight" against Sluggo with the intent of "hurting" his feelings?

As for the prototype discussion, you'll have to view the thread where all this transpired before finding me guilty of "thunder stealing"!

Here's the thread: http://ikegroup.org/php3.0.2/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=1066&sid=8ae893e1f43788fe7b93915defb5d74a

One thing is for certain though, Sluggo did come across a Prototype IKE! As such, folks should learn from this and not arbitrarily dismiss the Eisenhower Dollar as just another modern coin. Each one certainly deserves more than a simple cursory glance. Otherwise, important discoveries will continue to be missed! A prime example is the 1971-D RDV-006 (Friendly Eagle) which I refer to as a 1971-D Type 2. That reverse was not identified and cataloged until 1998. Its first public introduction came in the Dec 1998 edition of Errorscope (CONECA's bi-Monthly Error Magazine). Thats a full 27 years after the IKE was introduced!

No doubt, there are many other "discoveries" out there just waiting to be found. All it takes is a little bit of study and inderstanding of what the coin is supposed to look like. Beit IKE's, Kennedy's, SBA's, Washington's or any other Modern coin design. You just gotta look.
