[QUOTE="19Lyds, post: 1494965, member: 15929"]I do not believe that the variety is "pretty common". Especially in higher grades. Of course, this isn't to say that one could not be located with a little effort but the same could be said for the 1972 Type 2 which has similar mintage totals, yet a more established mystique in the rare coin market. As for the op, only higher grade FEV's will bring a premium at this point in time as folks simply lay no importance on Eisenhower Dollar Varieties or for that matter, the Eisenhower Dollars period. However, thats not to say that some day that will not change. There was, after all, a time when Morgan Varieties (except of the major ones that is) were of little interest. Of course that interest changed once collections got established, prices got established, and then folks had to find another reason for continuing to collect the lower grade specimens. Typically, MS66 FEV's sell for between $450 and $750 depending upon the coin. There are very few currently graded and attributed and I would guess that there are even fewer graded and NOT attributed. The folks in the IKE Group spent years accumulating and analyzing this variety which was first documented in December 1999. Since then, MANY folks have been looking for them. Especially the MS66 coins. Estimated Mintages are around 550,000. There are DDO's, DDR's and DDO/DDR coins within the variety as would be expected of any proof Eisenhower Dollar. The results of the IKE Group search (about 7 individuals) amounted to less than 20 in MS66. Both graded and ungraded. I expect that since the coin is now in the CPG and prices have been established for the MS66, that the TPG's will be brutal on future MS66's. My advice is to only get the best of your collection graded and attributed for your personal collection. None of the photographed coins strikes me as anything special given the angle of photography and the ever present carbon spots on your pieces.[/QUOTE]
