[QUOTE="19Lyds, post: 1343989, member: 15929"]I fully agree with your assessment and personally would be tickled pink to be able to "browse" through bag after bag of uncirculated IKE's. The series itself is totally "undiscovered" with new and exciting varieties showing up on a regular basis. Varieties of the type that would cause major ripples of giddy excitement in the Morgan or Peace World yet, because they are copper-nickel clad, folks just do not seem to care. While Littleton's asking prices are fairly steep, it doesn't detract from the excitement of the find. I'm curious as to how the Eisenhower Error coin populations will be affected since clips and off center strikes are fully possible not to mention rotated reverses, weak strikes and possibly RPM's? PegLegs ? Die Cracks? BERTY Coins? And really, whose to say that a significant DDO or DDR isn't within that hoard? I think it's fair to talk smack regarding the Littleton asking prices but I also think its fairly short sighted to diss the discovery based soley upon the fact that they are "clad" coins. Clad coins have as much a role to play in numismatics as do silver or copper coins.[/QUOTE]
