<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bhaugh, post: 1887092, member: 36379&quot;]I think you may see an increase in the amount of Ike collectors.&nbsp; The series is a great gateway into coin collecting.&nbsp; For the business strikes, an MS-64 set is easy to put together.&nbsp; The same set in MS-65 is more challenging, but still readily available with the exception of 1 or 2 coins.&nbsp; Now once you get to MS-66, things can get expensive and harder to find.&nbsp; Grades above MS-66 in the clad business strike are few and far between, and can be very expensive.&nbsp; Of course, I am referring to PCGS grades.&nbsp; In the Ike series the belief is still held that NGC coins are over graded (and this may present a good opportunity to buy coins in NGC plastic to cross over to PCGS at a bargin price if you know what to look for).</p><p>Personally I started with a raw ike album, then a Dansco, then I started a basic PCGS registry set.&nbsp; My basic set grew to a complete set, which grew to include other nonPCGS attributed varieties.&nbsp; I sold off my first registry set and I&#039;m working on my second set.</p><p>I think the series may gain traction with newer collectors, or maybe for seasoned collectors that are looking for a side project while hunting for the few expensive and hard to find Morgans they are missing from their collection.</p><p>If you&#039;re looking for a series to dive in to, I&#039;d suggest Ikes.&nbsp; They could be trending soon with all of the new info coming out.&nbsp; The Red Book has recognized the FEV, the Ike Group is reworking their variety catelog, there is a new book coming out from IkeDollarDoubleDie.com, and the next CPG will have several new Ike Varieties.</p><p>Anyways, just wanted to provide my biased opinion.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
