<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jaceravone, post: 854375, member: 9474&quot;]I think it is very important for the IKE collectors out there to understand that we are at just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to IKE varieties and their die marriages.&nbsp; If I have said this once, I have said it a million times....the IKEs are our generations Morgan dollars.&nbsp; There are so many new and exciting varieties being discovered every day.&nbsp; I am looking forward to putting together a tremendous collection, but even more important than that is for me to actually learn and understand how these errors and varieties were created.&nbsp; Every basic principle about the minting process must be understood fully for one to really understand what goes into striking an IKE.&nbsp; These are large coins.&nbsp; These coins required a lot of force to strike and therefore many different dies had to be created as the working dies broke down.&nbsp; I look forward to the day when I can really just sit down and learn this stuff and absorb it.&nbsp; Such an exciting time and I want to be at the front and not playing catch up for the past 130 years as with the Morgans.&nbsp; There is hardly anything going on with the SACs and Prez dollars and I spit at the ground at the mention of weak edge/partial edge crap.&nbsp; Lets find some real stuff!!! Unfortunately, there is none or none have been found because no one is looking.&nbsp; No one is looking because these coins are not fun to look at.&nbsp; But an IKE.....wow!&nbsp; I love looking at these coins.&nbsp; Such the power you feel when you hold one in your hand.&nbsp; Then you come across something like this......(see pic below).....not much, but still, highly visible to those of us who know what to look for&nbsp; and a complete blank for those of us who don&#039;t .&nbsp; Is it significant?&nbsp; Probably not, but this was my first one ever found, so I found it significant.&nbsp; Can you see it??[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
