So, do you mean 50 rolls of Ikes or 50 Ikes? If it's rolls, then man, you've got quite a hoard.

 

Only 50 coins. 10 are silver

 

Someone posted about a bicentennial Ike with a "P" mintmark over at CCF. Of course, no such coin exists, but in this digital age it's possible to at least see what an impossible coin might look like.

 

Need to get home from the inlaws to post, but my wife and her family came through with 8 Ikes for me for Christmas. Very happy with all 8. Got a 1971D (Looks like an FEV from what I can see using my phone's magnification, fingers crossed on that), a 1973D, 1974D, 1976D Type 1, Proof 1976S Type 1, Proof 1976S Type 2, 1977S, and a 1978S.

 

Looking forward to seeing the pics. Fingers crossed on that possible FEV.

 

I'll start posting the pics... I'll save the 71D for last though.

Here's the 73D

 

And the 74D...

 

The Type 1 76D...

 

I somehow forgot to post the 73D... lol

 

The Type 1 76S

 

The Type 2 76S

 

The 77S

 

The 78S

 

And finally the 71D. I tried to get some detailed close ups of the reverse, but was foiled by my cellphone. My macro lens that clamped so nicely to my old iphone 5 doesn't want to clamp on to the thinner 7. Some of the markers for FEV are still visible in the pic, but not nearly all of them so I am not sure if you all will be able to confirm it or not.

 

I was able to get the lens to work with my phone, YAY!!! I have some close ups of the reverse of the 71D that should help identify if it is an FEV or not...

 

CONFIRMED! It is the FEV. Nice addition!

 

My wife sure knows how to pick my coins.... lol

 

Registry set upgrade time again! This time it's the most common of all Ike Dollars- the 1976 Type 2, with 113,318,000 minted. That's a HUGE number, but finding a really nice example is tough for this issue. Mine is a nicely golden toned specimen in MS66. Incredibly, there are a handful of these in MS67, but I'll be just fine with my 66. It fits nicely into my set.

 

I'm after a 76 type 1 in 66...tough at a good price!
