Are these keeper's

These coins appear to have a lot of dings (Bag marks ?). They have original finish and the reverse is in very good condition. This is a nice coin that seems to be raising in value. Would you hold or sell ?

Anything can be a keeper if you see value in it.

Personally I keep these but I don't see them "rising in value" anytime soon. The two coins shown probably aren't worth more than face.

 

+1 If I was gonna get some ikes to hold on speculation(which I won't) you can get mint or close to mint versions of these for a little bit of nothing. and if you are wanting to buy cheap and hold for a future higher price you might as well get the very best you can find. Ikes are not a real popular coin, but someday maybe just maybe could see a premium, but likely even then only for top shelf coins.

 

Personally, I would spend them.

IMO, this series is under appreciated but given the bag marks on such a high mintage coin, I would also say to spend them and enjoy the conversation you will have with the cashier. TC

 

"Are these keeper's"

Sure, why not?

 

If you like the coins, hold on to them. That's the way I built my collection ...... but then again I collect counterstamps, so maybe you should take my advice with a grain of salt. Man, it looks like Ike took a knife to a gunfight.

 

Worth face,spend them.

 

Spend them, your dollar will be worth less in a couple of years (the way the govt is printing money).

Those are too banged up. Buy a couple of old mint sets with some decent IKEs if you want to hold them for possible appreciation, even that is questionable!

Lack

 

I'll jump on this wagon too.

Personally, I am prone to keep anything related to coins. I would probably keep these, even though I knew in my heart they weren't really keepers. Make sense?

 

The only real collector interest from these are when they are MS and very nice.

 

I'd say spend them or give them to your children, grandchildren or neighbors kids. They're fun to have when your a child, big ol' coins

 

I don't hold those. They get cashed in.

 

Here's one of my 'keeper' Ikes...
72 unc, looks like a matte proof it's so nice.

 

Nice !

 

Even if it has some imperfections, I have a bag and boxes where I put my low stuff. I just like to keep stuff on the side although I no longer really "collect" anymore.

 

sold a lot of 10 on ebay for 19$ but then again you gotta pay shipping

There is a lot of work currently going on at "THE IKE GROUP" .. Before I let them go I would check & see if you had one or more of the (scarce?) varieties. They are cataloging die marriages, DD's. OMM's. ETC..

Hi ! Bone Head,

Is there a e-mail site for the Ike Group ? I have a lot of 1/2's & 1.00 Ike coins that are in much better shape than what I posted. Strange that these coins can look so good with naked eye and come out so bad with a scan.
