LOL! Thanks! I think I'll keep this one a bit longer.

I'm very happy the the color didn't pass as 'pond scum', ...whew!

 

My modest Ike Colection

I know they arn't much but it is a set

 

Very Nice Set.

Are you planning on adding some of the varieties?

 

I plan to ad varieties in the near future.

 

Here a nice 1974-S 40% haze free too!

 

Some absolutely Beautiful Ike's:high5:

I'm beginning to Like Ike, Again.

Truly beautiful. Having lived through the time where half dollars were only half dollars and circulated without a second glance it's fun to see a new spin, and the great photos, too.

I spent some last year and had to explain what they were.

Used to be two would buy you a bag of 6 hamburgers.

Now you have to explain what they are!

Never use them at a drive through. It can make everyone behind you waste their lunch Half Hour as you explain it is real money and how to count high enough to prove you've given them enough.

 

How can I identify the difference of a 40% S BU and a 40% S Proof

Besides the mirror finish of the proof are the edges different. Does the bu have a copper toned edge

 

MS64 and no star.....

Here's a proof that did get a star though...the color is better in hand...

 

my 2 cents

 

I don't have a Ike but I have this guy;


Actually I do but don't have any pictures yet.
Here it is;

 

Picked this one up at a small local coin show this past
weekend,along with a few more that I have not shot yet.
Even remotely nice ones are getting harder and harder to find:headbang:

 

Here a 71-S I am not sure were I got but here it is,it almost looks like it mayhave a clask on the obv?

 

Jello,
Did you check the 71 "S" to see if it an S/S FS-501
from the picture I see just the slightest bit of something to the northwest
of the mint mark. Might just be the way the light struck the coin
but worth checking out
Just a side note,there are 71S/S's out there with out the two die markers:bigeyes:

Stewart

 

Well mine look really dingy compared to some of the nicely toned ones but this is what I have. Two silvers, no I gotta go back and see all the others. :kewl:

 

The 71 S looks very interesting right around the Left Leg of the "R" in Liberty
Here is a link web page o you can compare yours
http://www.ikegroup.org/CHEATSHEET.htm
The 1971 S FS-401 is quite difficult to find Who knows you may have one there. Ike Varieties show up in the when we least expect them. That is another reason I love collecting them
When one pops up. it feels like Christmas morning:hail:

Stewart

 

I have Stewart and I too think it maybe S/S,I also have grade by Anacs MS-66n 1973-S I think is a S/S too:kewl:

 

Very Cool, By The Way Jello I Love the 72 "S" that is Toned you posted :thumb:

 

Toned Ike

Here's a nicely toned proof.





Any idea on which MM variety of the ones 19lyds posted? (if it is one)
