    I like them. As they age, some are looking nicer from album toning and some of the proof brown boxes.

    I like em😊
    I even have a few.

    Okay,
    I can see now that I have more than one reason to go to my den and pull out some of my collection.
    I’ll be back😉

    I like the silver ms pieces.
    But, I like any silver coin. Do I love them? Not so much. 💔

    I like them but I only own a couple. I’ve thought about spending more time trying to find nicer ones.

    The coin is so big it's a shame they didn't take the obverse in a different direction. They really had an opportunity with such a big canvas.

    david3142, those are the nicest I've ever seen!

    Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.

    Don't have one. But after seeing these IKEs ... I'm getting one ... and I don't care what my wife says.

  • USMC_6115USMC_6115 Posts: 3,012 ✭✭✭✭✭

    WOW, holy color! Let me try to go and dig something out of the safe to compare... NOT!

    I imagine they do! Thanks for selling them to me. 😀

    I do have several from other sources but the hoard you had is the best I’ve ever seen. Let me know when you come across a 71-D, 77-D, and 74-S!

    I just had a thread about Ike's. The variety aspect. It's funny, there's a limit to the Ike dollar. Not as abundant as other denominations. What, about 12 different coins? At least these are the most interesting dollar since the Peace dollar! <3
    No comparison to the Susan B. Anthony, Sac. Dollar or the Presidents Dollar.

    Big Ike fan here. I have a Capital plastic holder that was put together in 1988. A filled Dansco and I am working on a complete PCGS set. Only missing the 1972 type II and type III.

  • BJandTundraBJandTundra Posts: 388 ✭✭✭✭

    Have a Dasco full of them. Always enjoyed the coins. Saw the General once in person A real thrill.

    That is really cool.....and to think that $4.64 in postage would be enough to mail maybe 6-7 coins today....

    wow, stunning IKEs.. I am happy and satisfied that IKE still has a following!

    But it also shows me that my little set needs some work :D

    I like Ike's and to me, this is the only coin that I like with color on them or without. I believe that they are one of the best value coins to collect today that doesn't break the bank and you can get them with 40% silver. I like the look of the coin, moreso the reverse, its big and again, 40% silver. I can see these coins having a lot more value in years to come, especially as more and more people collect them.

  • johnny9434johnny9434 Posts: 28,994 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I like them as well. Even got a few stabbed ones

    Inauguration medal of Eisenhower, designed by Gilroy Roberts (obverse) and Frank Gasparro (reverse).
    Interestingly, the reverse uses the same device as the trillion-dollar coin that is being touted.
