<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jaceravone, post: 742112, member: 9474&quot;]I know that there are those members who are out there saying to themselves, &quot;Whats the big deal?&quot;&nbsp; Well the big deal is that these types of coins are so scarce. Scarce in the fact that the overall number of these coins don&#039;t really exists.&nbsp; There maybe thousands of these or a few hundreds...who knows?&nbsp; Thanks to guys like Lee, and a bunch of other guys in the IKE Group, they are on the cutting edge when it comes to discoverying these gorgeous coins.&nbsp; These guys are searching hundreds if not thousands of these coins to only find less than a handful of these examples.&nbsp; It is probably well accepted that more of these coins exist out there, but where and how many are the big questions.&nbsp; Guys like Lee and others are trying to figure this stuff out.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The IKE series is our generations Morgans.&nbsp; Seems like every other day a new variety is found by these guys.&nbsp; These coins are so big and were so hard on the dies that many, many dies were used, so the chances of different die parings is so great.&nbsp; How many pairs??? Well that is part of the discovery process that is currently taking place.&nbsp; Also, just finding a quality/high grade coin is a challenge because most of these coins were tossed in $1000 bags or such and were all knicked and dinged.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Personally, I own about 50 of these coins and it appears that no two are alike when you compare dates and mint marks.&nbsp; They are really facinating.&nbsp; Because of this post last night, I feel confident that I have a 71S DDO variety but what I don&#039;t know is whether or not it is the major type or minor.&nbsp; Also, may have found a minor 73S DDO variety.&nbsp; I just need to send these to someone who knows this better than I do.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Collectors may poopooo these coins as modern garbage, but to me, these are our Morgan dollars of our generation.&nbsp; We have a chance of being a part of numismatic history rather than a spectator.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
