[QUOTE="Pocket Change, post: 589371, member: 8012"]Gotta love those Ikes! The last great sized American Dollar! I think this will become a much collected series in the future <he reaches up and adjusts his fortune telling turban> Everything is there for this to explode. Lots of varieties/errors or whatever, Years like 1973 where they were only available in mint sets. The "Blue" Ikes and the "Brown" Ikes. The Bicentenniel type 1 and type 2 coins (1975 and 1976 mintages). These WERE circulated unlike our current dollars. I got a ton of Ikes that look worse than some of my early Jeffies! Casinos used them also. There seems to be a mystique about getting circulated Ikes (at banks or at dealers). I don't really understand why. Admittedly, there are a lot of varieties, but if you find one on a VF Ike, it isn't worth much. In addition, some of the varieties aren't even verifiable in anything less than AU/MS condition. Step right up! Get 'em while you can![/QUOTE]
