<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Stewart, post: 912130, member: 19834&quot;]Shreck,</p><p><br /></p><p>Ike&#039;s, </p><p>1.One of the most overlooked series in all numismatics until lately.</p><p>2. New varieties being found all the time now that serious research has began</p><p>on the series.</p><p>3. Still can be found in banks sometimes,But getting harder now that more collectors are figuring out how rare some of them are.</p><p>4. Just now starting to be seen on dealers tables in the last year in my area. (S.W. Michigan) taking up valuable real estate on dealer tables tells me that demand is rising. One local coin shop now has them in his cases for the first time I have ever seen other than the occasional Blue or Brown Ike. He has been in business since the 70&#039;s.</p><p>5.as long as there are no unforeseen complications the First of two new Eisenhower Books since 1998 are being released at the </p><p>Aug 10 Boston ANA Convention. the second hopefully will be in time for Christmas.</p><p>That is just a few right off the top of my head. My opinion on the subject of Ike&#039;s is COMPLETELY BIAS. I Like Ike.</p><p>It is not driven by profit. I have yet to sell a single one of my Ike&#039;s.</p><p>The reason is that I have had 4 1974 S Brown Ike&#039;s kicking around the safe for quite some time and was just checking out some articles on the Ike Group web site and sen one about&nbsp; 1974 S Silver Proof Micro &quot;S&quot; and thought I have a a handful in the safe. Turned out that I happen to have a Micro &quot;S&quot; in that group. It is a 1 die coin with an estimated mintage of 10,000. I know as soon as I sell some of my Ike&#039;s that someone will find something cool on the dates and Mint Marks that I sold.</p><p>My son told me why don&#039;t you sell some of the Doubles, Triples and higher multiples that you have to buy more coins with.</p><p>I informed him that I enjoy collecting them, I will sell for friends but I collect coins and that he will have to deal with selling them some day. His response, Now I have to learn even more about coins so I don&#039;t get ripped. Another Collector is made<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>Just my Humble and bias opinion</p><p><br /></p><p>Terry[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
