Ok who is this? Whoever you are you are off to a great start with this set.

Especially the 1973 P MS66 and 1973 D MS67 Ikes!

GRANDAM · October 8, 2003 2:30AM

That would be James M Sego. Known as segoja on this forum. He is the #1,,,,,, NUMERAL UNO GUY in both the Ike Dollar Basic & Varieties Set. That is where the COOL IKE'S came from.

Thanks for the compliment!

Destined for the top spot!

cosmicdebris · October 8, 2003 6:31AM

You're welcome.

Now please wait until after next years registry set awards to finish this set.

khayse · October 10, 2003 4:50AM

More please.

What are you talking about (which set, link, etc)?

segoja · October 10, 2003 6:37AM

Keith,

Here is the set!

Moving up the list.

Just added the 96-W Dime in 68FB.

Interesting. All the Mint only moderns in one set.

But then I'd have to break them out of the packaging they came in.

segoja · October 10, 2003 7:47AM

You're right!

I might be a crying shame!

On the other hand, it mught be more good competition.

cosmicdebris · October 10, 2003 9:33AM

So when is the expected ETA of my demise and you being #1.

segoja · October 10, 2003 10:27AM

Bill,

Not sure!

Still a vlaue player, not #1 at all costs!

I like to make most of my coins as well, even though I have bought some of those in this set!

The nickels and halves are worth about what the set is worth in MS69, so they are really not worth making. Just as easy to buy already slabbed!

One day it'll happen, but it'll be a fun battle!

I have a 1976-S Washington for sale that will help you.... MS68, "Jordan" on holder. I'd be proud to have this coin in your set! Scans/price on request if you provide an e-mail address.

cosmicdebris · October 10, 2003 9:35PM

PM sent!

segoja · October 11, 2003 2:55AM

Bill,

Two more on their way.

I'll be adding them shortly. Leaves me only a few to go!

James

cosmicdebris · October 11, 2003 3:25AM

I guess I can concede now. Congrats on being number 1.

segoja · October 11, 2003 4:19AM

Not yet!

I have several 1987 halves that will be goign to the slab factory after next week's St Pete show. Hoping for 67's, but I'm certain of 66's.

Then I still need the SBA's.

Bill,

Work you set-up some! This could be a fun competition!

cosmicdebris · October 11, 2003 4:25AM

I don't have the money to put into the set it would take to fend you off right now.

segoja · October 11, 2003 4:43AM

Bill,

DO the local shows or your local coin shops.

That's how I got started.

You obviously have a good eye, so use it on the raw stuff.

That'll keep the competition up and your costs down!

segoja · October 11, 2003 10:57AM

Up to third!

The next two will be tougher!

itsnotjustme · October 11, 2003 12:37PM

Down to 5th for me!

cosmicdebris · October 11, 2003 8:47PM

Damn segoja! You go girl!

itsnotjustme · October 12, 2003 6:00AM

Back up to third..... competition got the better of me!

segoja · October 12, 2003 6:55AM

Looks like some good competition.

I'll even sell you an upgrade if you really need it!

76-S Ike in 68.

PM if interested!

itsnotjustme · October 12, 2003 11:42AM

An MS68 76-S Ike is too much money for me!

Now if you would trade my MS68 Washington (and an extra 75 cents to make up the denomination difference) for your MS68 Ike, I'll do it! I'll even pay the extra 75 cents in MS67 state quarters--my choice of dates!

cosmicdebris · October 14, 2003 5:03AM

IS THIS FOR REAL?????????

Pop of 73 in MS68 commands that kind of money???????

I can not not justify that kind of cash for that coin.

segoja · October 14, 2003 7:45AM

Bill,

That's right. A really nice piece is even more!

Make one! That's what I did. They only cost you time!!! But time is money, so I may have paid more than $1000 for mine, but isn't that the lure of coins???

itsnotjustme · October 14, 2003 7:46AM

That's right... an extra $800-$1,000 for one point.

GRANDAM · October 14, 2003 7:49AM

A PCGS MS68 1976-S IKE Dollar is a BARGIN @ $900. I have sold them for as much as $1200 earlier this year. The eBay coin is mine. I also have 2 others for sale. If anybody needs one PM me or e-mail gdhoop@lightbound.com. All 3 are NICE coins!

Thanks, GrandAm

khayse · October 14, 2003 9:00AM

Grandam,

When I saw the current one up for auction I noticed that I still had the last one in my watchlist.
Then I noticed they were sequencial serial numbers.

How many have you made this year?
What's your secret?

-KHayse

GRANDAM · October 14, 2003 9:11AM

KHayse,

I have made 7 since April. No secret. I look at THOUSANDS of IKE'S and submit several hundred pcs each year and after looking at that many I have gotten pretty good at grading them. I normally only buy less than 10% of all IKE'S I look at. I send in BULK lots of 100 pcs or more and save on grading fee's. I have all the Silver IKE'S in PCGS MS65-66-67 & 68. If anybody needs any LMK.

Thanks, GrandAm
