<p>[QUOTE="chascat, post: 2522556, member: 76792"]I totally agree with your views of current desirability of Ikes as opposed to Morgans and Peace, however, the current availability of Ikes allows many collectors to actually complete a set of coins in fairly high grade without breaking the bank. Even a lifetime of collecting Morgans and Peace, for most collectors, a complete set in unc. condition is impossible to attain. I personally don,t like any of the larger size coinage in any less than 66 grade, which eliminates me from collecting more than a couple of type coins in the Morgan and Peace series. As for variety issues in the Ikes, I have a peg leg and the 72 t-1,2,&3 bus. strikes, but don,t collect minor varieties, as there are far too many for my budget. I,m not familiar with any strike thru varieties. I guess the one Ike I really need is the 74-D silver strike to complete my set of major Ike varieties. Does anyone have a few extras? P.S. Are banks or the Treasury holding B.U. coins or slot machine coins?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
