<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Stewart, post: 818509, member: 19834&quot;]cladking,</p><p><br /></p><p>Could not agree with you more. I started out to build a nice Ike Dansco set a almost two years ago thinking, short series,very inexpensive wonderful history (Ike is one of my personal heroes), easy to build. Boy I could not have been more wrong I am to date only about 2/3rd&#039;s of the way complete. even though I have hundreds of examples most are in the variety realm. I got hooked up with the Ike Group and what started out as a simple set build turned into a full blown case of Ike OCD (Obsessive Compulsive disorder) realizing that I was on the ground floor of the discovery of so many varieties in one series.</p><p>It has been one wild ride and it is far from over.</p><p><br /></p><p>yakpoo</p><p><br /></p><p>As far as mintage&#039;s for the Ike Series being accurate What the mint actually minted I think they are accurate but that fact the we had the Great Melt of 1979 -1980 when Silver prices reached $50.00 per ounce I personally saw moving boxes of the 40% Eisenhower&#039;s (Blue Pack Uncirculated and Brown Box Proofs) being shipped to the smelters. And that was just from the one coin shop that I frequented when I was a teenager.</p><p>Then the fact that a lot of them were shipped to Las Vegas for slot machines. and a slot machine is not the best enviroment for preserving the sufaces of a coin<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />No one is sure how many are left . And the high prices for the High grade ones now days shows me that they are getting harder and harder to find in those high grades. Hope this helps.</p><p><img src="http://i485.photobucket.com/albums/rr217/Stew_026/1971%20P%20Eisenhower/1971Pobv.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i485.photobucket.com/albums/rr217/Stew_026/1971%20P%20Eisenhower/1971Prev.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Stewart[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
