My Eisenhower Collection

Exceptional quality, quite the accomplishment. Thanks for sharing those gems. And of course, the question is, what's next?

Very nice!

 

I recently purchased a mans collection and it included, in my opinion, way to many Ikes. The only way he would sell me his collection is if I purchased the Ikes, which I did not want to do but since he had several coins I wanted I gave in and purchased them for barely over face value. I searched them and kept NONE. I turned most into the bank and the young lady had to call her supervisor to make sure this was a legit US coin. I just about fell out of my car laughing. Someone will get them somewhere.
I kept a few and used them as tips, which also got some curious looks.

Have you seen my Kennedy and Lincoln posts yet?

 

Nice story, I find it funny when the younger generation has to question the older coinage we have

Currently "worth" 10k.

This is why I gave up on the Ike registry set game - it was fun at first, but it's a losing proposition. Grade inflation - look at the proof 70 populations. A new discovery - a hair was discovered in Ike's ear. A new variation. I love the Ike dollar and will keep collecting them, but finding new "variations" 45 years later in a modern dollar is a bit much for me.

 

Same here. (not the registry set thing - the chasing the varieties thing)
It is a never ending chase, which I think is the point. I got the well known varieties (1972 type 1,2, and 3, and the 1976 varieties) and I'm happy with that.
