<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KSorbo, post: 1886452, member: 56370&quot;]I picked up an NGC certified MS-65 business strike Ike dollar on Ebay:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/1977-D-ONE-DOLLAR-EISENHOWER-NGC-MS65-/351018601158?pt=Coins_US_Individual&amp;hash=item51ba56cac6" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/1977-D-ONE-DOLLAR-EISENHOWER-NGC-MS65-/351018601158?pt=Coins_US_Individual&amp;hash=item51ba56cac6" rel="nofollow">http://www.ebay.com/itm/1977-D-ONE-DOLLAR-EISENHOWER-NGC-MS65-/351018601158?pt=Coins_US_Individual&amp;hash=item51ba56cac6</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Until now I didn&#039;t think that such a common coin would be worth sending out to get slabbed.&nbsp; However, I have read that business strikes are difficult to find without bag marks, and the auction prices for Ike&#039;s aren&#039;t that cheap for MS65 and above, with MS66&#039;s selling for $50 and up.&nbsp; Even the $10 I paid seems like a lot.</p><p><br /></p><p>Are Ike&#039;s genuinely scarce in higher grades, or are there millions of them still sitting in bags and rolls that haven&#039;t been cherry picked?&nbsp; I know that a lot of Morgans were thought to be rare in MS65 when PCGS and NGC first started in the late 80&#039;s, and then the market crashed after more and more high grade coins came out of the woodwork.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I always thought before that Ike&#039;s were ugly and boring, but when I look at the design now it&#039;s actually starting to grow on me.&nbsp; This is a coin I can remember from my early childhood that hasn&#039;t circulated since then and most younger people now have probably never seen.&nbsp; Could it become a hot collectible sometime in the future or are there just too many of them still around?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
