<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cdb1950, post: 43509, member: 1735&quot;]I collect Eisenhower dollars, among other things.&nbsp; High grade proof (PR68)silver Ikes are currently selling at considerably less than $50 on Teletrade right now and even less on Ebay.&nbsp; Truly, the proof specimens are the epitome of the coiner&#039;s art.&nbsp; However, if you want a real challenge, try finding a high grade (MS66 or better) P or D mint Ike dollar.&nbsp; These were made for utilitarian purposes and no special effort was made to ensure these coins were in pristine condition when issued.&nbsp; It is not uncommon for freshly minted Ikes right from the mint bags to grade a paltry MS62-MS64.&nbsp; Even a decent MS65 for most P and D mint Ike issues will bring upwards of $35-$50 and all P and D mint Ikes in MS67 or better consistantly bring over $1000.&nbsp; So, the best could be interpreted as the best available for the issue, any issue.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>But I guess the best is whatever brings you the most satisfaction to collect.&nbsp; Proof, BU, or even a collection of nice circulated coins can be challenging and a lot of fun.&nbsp; It&#039;s up to you to choose.&nbsp; If it&#039;s fun, then collect it.&nbsp; That&#039;s the best.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
