Message:: [QUOTE="Stewart, post: 653893, member: 19834"]After taking a long hiatus from collecting I found a silver dime in my change and the bug bit again.I thought I would ease myself back into it with a nice easy Ike set in a dansco. Boy did I get the surprise of my collecting life. Not only was it impossible to find them in 68-69 the 66-67s were very difficult.Then I ran into the Varieties! Whoa! I spent most of what was supposed to be a relaxing Sunday on the net doing research on the Ikes and I ran across The Ike Group.(So much for a relaxing Sunday) By the end of the day my brain felt like pudding. Information overload. Never new there were so many things recently discovered anywhere in the coin collecting hobby.Let alone in one short series that began 38 years ago. Fast foward a year and the obsession is only growing. The chance to obtain all kinds of varieties inside of one series with study and observation and not just a deep wallet has just amazed me. Not to mention the fact that average guys like me are finding discovery pieces. If it is not a challenge to me I get bored with it. I don't think I am going to be bored for quite some time. All of the above is just my opinion, There are many in the hobby who hate Ikes and that is fine. That is what makes our country great, differing opinions.Plus it would be a boring place if we all liked the same thing. But for me  I LIKE IKE Stewart[/QUOTE]
