<p>[QUOTE=&quot;miker, post: 80098, member: 3054&quot;]First strike coins are just that; they are (supposedly) the coins that came out of the presses on the first day.&nbsp; The thought is; new dies + fresh planchets = higher grade coins.&nbsp; The theory is valid but I don&#039;t know how long the presses run until the coins are no longer considered &#039;First strike&quot;.&nbsp; And yes, uncirculated SAE are only available through vendors.&nbsp; Eisenhowers are moderately expensive.&nbsp; My thought is that it is one coin that collectors can get a complete set in one shot.&nbsp; And there are silver coins in the collection so those may be the prices you are saying are expensive.&nbsp; The Type one and type two have to do with the bicentenial coins.&nbsp; The dollars made in 1975 are slightly different (lettering on the reverse) than the ones made in 1976.&nbsp; And not being a Susan B collector, I don&#039;t know about 1979 coins although I know that some issues of the coin were only avalable in collectors sets.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
