If I was to get only one Ike, which should I get?

If you're going to Long Beach, visit James Sego (JMS Coins). He's the industry go-to-guy for Ikes and a good guy to deal with. If you tell him I sent you, he won't even charge extra.

 

Thanks.
I plan on being there on Thursday.

 

My favorite are the BU silvers. The 1974s Unc comes real nice.

 

A) 1972-P Type 2 MS 64
B) 1976-P Type 1 MS 65
C) 1971-P MS-65
D) 1971-S Silver MS-67
E) 1971-D "Friendly Eagle" MS-66

 

Just get yourself a nice MS one -- the nicest looking, most lustrous one you can find.

 

Mintage is were the money is. Lower mintage means at times better money if you want to sell it.

 

1971-D's come really nice in MS66 which would more than meet your needs.

 

The '71-D is a good choice.

You might consider a '76-P type I if you can find the right one. Usually I suggest peoiple buy good strikes from new dies but wirth this coin just find anything that's clean and doesn't have planchet markings. These are tough in any grade with clean surfaces. The only drawback is that the right specimen will be hard to find at a good price.

 

1971-D Good choice in MS 66 can cost you more that most want to pay.

 

One place to find an uncirculated '76 P is in the '75 uncirculated sets.

 

none

 

If I could only have one, I would pick something with really nice color.

 

That's ok.... it's not for you

 

Any P or D in MS65/66 has potential. The 1971P, '72PTI & T III, '76P TI, are more pricey from $75- 350. I would get a 1971 "Friendly Eagle Varietly" in MS65. And get a 1973S Silver Ike.
