STONERS UNITE- LOOK AT THIS BEAUTY OF AN IKE.

<< <i>So the stoners like toned Ikes, now it all makes sense-----------------BigE >>
Stoners like Ikes? Back in my enfeebled college days (late '70s, early '80s) my stoned friends and I thought that Ike and those who still had their "I like Ike" buttons epitomized conceptual constipation, a stable but growing economy, Ozzie & Hariett, a ranch house with a picket fence, 2.7 kids and a dog named Spot, etc. Ike fans back then were a middle-aged, overweight (but not obese) couple who drove their Buick to their favorite supper club in a nearby suburb and dined to Mantovani muzak in the background.
25 years ago I thought that Ike dollars were something the mint marketed to the public to raise funds, and which could be purchased for less than mint issue price a few years later after the speculative hype had played out. The only redeeming factor of these semi-commemorative coins was a view of the moon with earth in the background on the reverse.
The few stoner coin collectors I knew 20 or 25 years ago preferred the Walking Liberty Half, with Liberty looking like a Grateful Dead groupie wearing an American flag and tossing something out to the crowd. If we wanted wild colors, we would just bake a common date Walker in the oven.
I guess times are changing, and Russ has seen that people now profit by artistically describing on eBay their hallucinations while staring at a grilled cheese sandwich. If Russ was really trying to get a job describing coins for sale at a major website, he would eschew the simple "blues, reds and greens" for something like "cyan, puce, and chartreuse hues"
I still maintain that a psychedelic Ike is an oxymoron. I guess some people will fixate on colors no matter what the design.

I logged off early last night, so, I just found this. I often say that I am an insatiable reader. I enjoy reading and read everything I can. Right now, in fact, I am reading “Moby Dick” during the day and “Black Like Me” in bed. Russ’ description was like dessert and your post was something beyond dessert. (I am not at all using a sexual analogy. I have already lied about Ecstasy use.) I have read your post more than twice and while I hope expectations remain reasonable, a future post from ccex will probably cause a knee-jerk click of the mouse. Keep up the good writing.
Now, back to coins …
