[QUOTE="19Lyds, post: 1381604, member: 15929"]He's right about his price assessments since MS68 is the money grade with Silver Business Strike IKE's. Today, they could be considered fairly common and available at most any coins shop. However, given the increases in silver prices lately coupled with the overall feelings that the silver IKE's are common, the deck is getting stacked toward these being difficult to locate in the next 10 years. I could envision a big melt but then thats pure speculation. You've got a very nice looking coin which would go nicely in any album. Its not junk by any means and it does have potential. But that potential is a long way off. BTW, the term common, when referring to a coin, applies to its ready availability and should not be interpreted as the coin ebing called a piece of junk. I'm of the opinion that 55/55 Lincolns are readily available and as such can be found in a lot of different coins stores which puts them in the common category. Popular, and as such, very expensive, but readily available and more or less "expected" in any dealers inventory. Lot's of so called "rare" coins fall into that category. Finding the coin the YOU as a collector appreciates, is a different story. Enjoy your coin for what it is: Yours.[/QUOTE]
