Message:: [QUOTE="Space 4 Rent, post: 808006, member: 22065"]A friend at work brought in some Brown Box Ike's today. He was off to a local B&M at lunch to dump them as he found them in a closet while doing some cleaning, and was not interested in them. He had a mint box of five 1972 Ike Brown Boxes (opened mint box), and two individual 1971 Ike Brown Boxes. He also has a 1969 proof set with no box. I offered him $40 for the lot and he took it. I am not into Ike's per say, but I could not help but think that he was probably going to take a low ball offer. The collector in me just could not let him do it. My question is, did I do okay? Should I have let him sell them at the B&M? Do I now have a pile of Ike's that are only worth their silver content? All the boxes are in great shape, and the coins all intact. Thanks in advance.[/QUOTE]
