Does anyone here still like IKEs?

I haven't seen any or heard a peep about them lately!

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

crazyhounddog

I like em😊
I even have a few.

You mean someone actually liked them in the first place?

koynekwest

I like the big doubled dies and color coins like this one-

crazyhounddog

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 love them! They are big coins and although the design isn’t the prettiest they sometimes come with great color. I am working on building the finest collection of toned MS Ikes. Here are a few:

@koynekwest
That’s a great looking Ike👌

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!

Ikes R Cool

David3142 Those Ikes look familiar

It's an NGC PR-67 star.
Impossible to get a decent shot of a proof behind plastic but it it is....

Those are the prettiest Ike's I have ever seen!!!

Awesome shot!

Not too much really, but I do like this one..

koynekwest

Thanks, Joe!

Those are some pretty amazing circulation strike Ikes, david3142.

Jimnight

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

USMC_6115

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

USMC_6115

I've had this one for a while.. No colors like the above coins, but I've always liked that it is mark free. Absolute clean fields which I think can be tough to find..

I have an Ike dansco. Just missin a few.

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!

Hydrant

Wonderful coin.

joeykoins

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!
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.

Sure, what is not to like about Ike?

How about another toner/woodie?

BJandTundra

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

metalmeister

I was born during the Ike presidency. Have a bunch of em' Blue packs are my favorite.

mannie gray

I like Ikes and they are popular sellers at shows (when there used to be shows).

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

joeykoins

One of my targets.

Do I still like Ikes? Well, click on the two sig links below to find out.....

I sold my nicest 72-S but these work just fine for me.


Couple I thought would grade higher, both 64

USMC_6115

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

1630Boston

I like this one

ricko

I like Ike dollars....as long as they have no tarnish... Cheers, RickO

bearcave

"I like Ike" wasn't that a campaign slogan...........?

USMC_6115

@1630Boston that is too cool... who made those?

Cougar1978

Like the silver pieces with moon on them.

Zoins

Yes I do!

ParlousJoe

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.

Here’s a big, 40% silver, colorful Ike just for you.

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.

My one slabbed Ike.
