Calling All Eisenhower Dollar Collectors.

I don't collect Ike's. I have a less then working knowledge of them. I acquired some random costumer wrapped rolls from a bank and needed to do some research. I know that there are some reverse varieties. I went on line, looking for a one-stop-shop for everything Ike's with pictures.
Have you guys seen or are aware of this website? I'm not sure how up-to-date it is but it was perfect for what I needed it for. If you haven't seen it, it might be helpful.

Great site! I've been there frequently in years past. There are several members here from that site that I'm sure will chime in.
There's remarkable expertise on the site. Most Ike experts at least stop by. Unfortunately it's been pretty quiet for a couple years. It's also unfortunate that there is no comprehensive listing of Ike varieties like the Cherry Pickers Guide. They're pretty much all jumbled together from minor differences to significant varieties. If you read the books you'll still have to pick and choose what you find interesting. All the books are good and have some great authors.
Robert Ezerman's book is the most comprehensive of them all and I find Wexler/ Crawford/ Flynn's "authoritative reference" most useful. I strongly recommend most Ike collectors look in the mint sets and see what's available even though it's mostly barren ground for varieties.
