Re: Are all IKE dollars 40% silver ?
I still reach for the Red Book when I need a quick simple answer. Sometimes the web has too much information.

Re: Do Serious Type Collectors Eventually Become Series Collectors?
I have been reading back issues of the Barber Coin Collector Society for the last few months. Today I am at Vol. 8, issue #4 from 1997. It has an article by David Lawrence encouraging collectors to pick a single coin series and stick to it. I will paraphrase his reasons.
You will learn the nuances of the series and discover not just the stated key dates but the additional coins that are truly rare.
You will enhance your grading skills and learn to discern well struck pieces from average run. (Also the tendency of many dates to have a wide variety of strikes and cherrypick)
You will learn the varieties that exist and will be able to cherrypick dealer inventorys.
You will gain far greater satisfaction from your collection because you will have more insight on what is truly rare and have the honor of finding those coins.
I don't know if everything he says is true; have never completed any series, but he was a respected dealer and coin expert so i will give his thoughts the weight they deserve. james

Same answer you got ATS
Slightly low weight, but within tolerance (and 2.27g vs. your scale accuracy could still be PEBKC).
