    Las Vegas they were around but didn’t have the affect they hoped for. I have also only once or twice received one in charge 🤓

    I have a set of dcam proofs - and a few stray circulated pieces.

    As an aside, I was at the North Carolina Statesville show on Saturday and a buyer was looking for non-slabbed Ikes. The dealer had 15 in a bag and wanted $1.50 each for them. The seller said thanks and walked. Is that premium too high? I always thought the best you could get on circ Ikes was about $1.15 each.

    Ikes are extremely popular right now. chBU's are_ wholesaling_ at $3.50 and nice attractive circs at $1.50

    Casino coins and other beaters usually _retail _at around $1.25

    I suspect the FED is out and banks are the only source the general public knows about, but banks get very few in now days.

    Who is buying at those prices? I'll take ~$1350 for my hoard.

    PS The Fed is nowhere near out of Ikes, banks just refuse to jump through the hoops required to order them.

    In terms of the total number of clad coins minted for each year (and by each Mint), I suspect the percentage that survived in 65 and 66 is fairly low.

    Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
