<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Insider, post: 2749558, member: 24314&quot;]I&#039;d like to add my 2c.</p><p><br /></p><p>If I were starting where you are I would:</p><p><br /></p><p>1. Join the Ike group.&nbsp; It is too advance for you at the moment but you&#039;ll &quot;grow into it.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>2. Either buy the books from the Ike Group or at a coin supply.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; a. Really basic: The Authoritative Reference on Ike Dollars.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; b. Vol.1 &amp; Vol.2 Collectible Ike Var.</p><p><br /></p><p>3. Buy the nicest complete set you can get.&nbsp; They&#039;re dirt cheap.&nbsp; If you have the cash, buy two or three and put the best coins into one.&nbsp; Save any varieties from the reject sets and blow them off.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>4. Now you have a set, some books.&nbsp; Take time to study the series.&nbsp; While doing this, you can search to upgrade your set.&nbsp; Look for the big grade jump.&nbsp; It is generally a waste of time to buy a 65 to replace a 63 or 64. </p><p><br /></p><p>5. Ike&#039;s are difficult to grade. Do as Mike suggested and study slabs.&nbsp; If you become a really serious collector.&nbsp; Keep your raw set to learn with and only form a set of slabbed Ikes.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
