<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Leadfoot, post: 109975, member: 2972&quot;]Here&#039;s one, and I&#039;ll buy as many as you can find for $100.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; PCGS examples bring more than double that.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.pbase.com/miker/image/49816769/medium.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /><img src="http://www.pbase.com/miker/image/49816775/medium.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Personally, I like the 72 varieties.&nbsp; Here&#039;s a favorite from my collection, a 72-P Type 3:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.pbase.com/miker/image/55071105/medium.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /><img src="http://www.pbase.com/miker/image/55071138/medium.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The proofs can be simply amazing:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.pbase.com/miker/image/46296692/medium.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /><img src="http://www.pbase.com/miker/image/46296700/medium.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>They come in gold too:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.pbase.com/miker/image/55041128/medium.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /><img src="http://www.pbase.com/miker/image/55041057/medium.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I like Ikes for several reasons.&nbsp; First and foremost, they were the first coins I collected as a child.&nbsp; Secondly, you can collect them on a budget.&nbsp; Thirdly, the complete set is realtively easily attainable, yet presents challenges if you choose to take them on (like the high grade 71-P or the 72-P type 2 in MS 63+).</p><p><br /></p><p>To answer your question directly, I think that prices will continue to rise for these coins in the upcoming years, particularly the high grade or rarer issues.&nbsp; But then again, I don&#039;t collect them because of their future value, but because I enjoy them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Have fun...Mike[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
