<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 1006581, member: 19065&quot;]My entire point was... if you are going to post something and contradict others, explain why. </p><p><br /></p><p>What you originally gave us contradicted what I offered the OP but you didn&#039;t offer why the coin was worth more than $1 in your evaluation, and you still haven&#039;t in any of your other four posts since then. When I challenged you on your first post to this thread to further support my evaluation, you simply became defensive but have yet to defend why the coin is worth more than $1 to you. </p><p><br /></p><p>If you feel this thread is a waste of your time, then consider that it was so entirely because your evaluation was given without any supportive reasoning. You did however continue to return to this thread finding it worth your time to post off topic comments at me as opposed to about the coin. You&#039;re getting further from credible in your original statement about the coin by avoiding the reason you think<i> this coin</i> is worth more than $1. As such, my original valuation I gave <i>for this coin </i>stands and wasn&#039;t a waste of my time defending it from the careless posts of another (seemingly uninformed) member.</p><p><br /></p><p>I happen to agree with you that it&#039;s worth holding onto Ike dollars (in general) when you can obtain them, despite them not being worth more than face value at this time. There are many die varieties being identified and you can always hope to find some in circulation. Selling common circulation Ike dollars in a lot will <i>not</i> necessarily net you more than face value either. Not given their large mintages, common dates, cu-ni composition and yet minimal appeal amongst &#039;modern&#039; collectors. Most circulation Ikes are simply not worth more than face despite your personal interest in them, including a print smudged circulated cu-ni proof Ike. 40% silver Ikes are priced for their intrinsic melt value and go for more than face. Identified die varieties and errors go for more than face but not all Ikes are worth more than face.
