<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bhaugh, post: 1654671, member: 36379&quot;]I was a raw collector for the longest time (still have tones of albums and folders), until I got into Graded Ikes.&nbsp; Some people like Morgan&#039;s, others like Mercs or Buffs...&nbsp; I like Ikes.&nbsp; </p><p>With the Ike set, I have basically 4 collections.&nbsp; I have my &quot;From the Wild&quot; set that i&#039;ve collected from circulation (You can find a lot of the varieties and just plain cool looking ikes in circulation), my BU raw set in Danscos, my mint packaged sets , and my PCGS graded set.&nbsp; </p><p>Ikes were the first coins I collected graded and will probably be the only ones right now.&nbsp; I did find that having quality graded coins has really help me to identify and &quot;self grade&quot; the raw Ikes I have been collecting.&nbsp; </p><p>It&#039;s a part of the hobby that is here to stay.&nbsp; I think it can be a great tool, but I also see why people don&#039;t like it.&nbsp; Ultimately, like everything in this hobby, it comes down to personal preference.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
