[QUOTE="gboulton, post: 1252878, member: 27043"]Numismedia's got em in the $10-$15 range at MS63-64. There's a pretty nice jump at 65, and then real premiums, so they say, at 66 and above. PCGS's price guide isn't far off from that. Around here, circulated Ikes frequently get given as change at an LCS. Nice AU-BU examples carry a VERY small premium, going maybe $1.50-$2.00. The occasional slabbed examples I've seen seem to go about 75% or so of what FMV and PCGS suggest. *shrug* Personally, if it were me, I think I might pull the 10 best examples out, submit 'em, and see if you can't get an MS-66 or better out of there. Granted, it'll take a good while to go through all 1000 that carefully...but you said yourself, you like looking through coins, and at $100+, might be worth the time. Worst case, you haven't lost anything...even if they come back as 64's-65's, they're likely to cover the grading fees if you don't mind going to slower/cheaper route. ========= Perhaps another angle might be simply to shoot a picture of, oh, 10-20 of them, and then offer them on here or on e-bay, described as you did above, in lots of "10 for $19.95" or something.
