<p>[QUOTE=&quot;miedbe7, post: 2061063, member: 33919&quot;]The BU and Proof Silvers were prepared for collectors, not like business strikes.&nbsp; The BU Silvers tend to run lower in grade because they were collected in a hopper and packaged with cellophane (Blue Pack Ikes).&nbsp; One of the early years, 71/72 in a 68 would be a white whale.&nbsp; But a proof Silver Ike (Brown pack Ike) in 68 would be worth melt or a bit above.&nbsp; Normally those are found in 69DCAM.&nbsp; 70s are rare for those.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Again, conditional rarity is the key.&nbsp; How many were made and how well. What was the attrition rate, aka how many survived.&nbsp; And finally, what do they grade as a date/mm and what&#039;s that population considering the total mintage.&nbsp; Some date/mm are common as can be, but a 1972 Type 2 Ike in MS-66 is at least a 4 figure coin.&nbsp; A 71-P Ike in MS-65 is a shade under $100, for examples.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
