    Congrats! You'll have some fun with the circsimage.

    Are you making them yourself or buying them slabbed?

    Think I started two threads on this without realizing it, my appoligies still getting used to this.
    I have a bunch of uncirc rolls but I'm not very confident of my grading skills so maybe look grade 1st than compare to what I have---any advice would be appriciated---Tom

    Hi Tom,
    Welcome to Ikeland!image Circulated Ikes are VERY tough to find in HIGH grades.....My advice
    would be to pull the best 2 coins out of each roll and then compare them to graded ones pictured on
    Teletrade or even the Heritage auctions. Both have pretty good pics to compare. Now, some MAY be
    overgraded......but it will give you a good reference. If you can take good pics or scans and can post
    some of the best ones on the Forum,....there are plenty of Ike Guys that can render you their opinions.
    GOOD LUCK!

    Brian

    I LOVE image TALON HEADS, PEG LEGS AND ERROR IKES! image

    Most of my rolls came from a family friend and others were picked up on ebay when I liked the price(Rolls ,unopened Mint or Proof sets) seems like quality rolls are harder to find these days.
    Didn't see any Ike rolls at Long Beach but I arrived late on saturday
    Sorry not much help just keep checking, if you run your search on ebay under Eisenhower search "rolls" under rolls search "Eisenhower" and "Ike" hope that helps---Tom

    Way to go!

    A PR69dcam set is on my list of future endeavors. Franklins, Kennedys, Ikes. I love all things big and shiny.
