Did you know that I have been secretly collecting Ike Dollars? I have the following to date:

All are PCGS MS65 IKES!
1972-D
1974-D
1976-D TY-2
1977
1977-D
1978
1978-D

I would love to collect the whole set in MS65. This was started after I asked on this forum to give some advice to me about starting a new NON-DIME set for me to get my mind on something else.

Guess what........it hasn't worked! image

Anyone else?

Later, Paul.

Later, Paul.

    I had the same problem Paul.

    I have a collection of 1988-1998 Mint sets to distract me.

    I didnt realize that collecting DIMES would be so interesting in colors and tones.
    My Wife works at the Credit Union, I ask her everyday to check the dimes or order
    me new ones.

    It is a sickness, thats for sureimage

    I have to agree with the sickness part for sure lol. I can't seem to stop, maybe not with dimes as much but coins in general.

    This is a challenging set in 65.

    I gave up completely on dimes when I decided they are too small for me to grade


    now I collect war nickels - only 11 for the set - very beautiful colors as well with the silver/copper/manganese


    I also dabble in IKES


    I have found 2 1972 type 2's to date, after I figured out how to tell difference

    Yes it is a challange in MS65 but who cares. I just happen to like IKES and have for years. I collect for fun and if it doesn't happen in 65 then 64, 63 or whatever. They are big and way kewl coins!

    I don't think I've spend more then $35-$40 for any of them.

    Later, Paul.

    A fun set that is sure easier to see than those dimes. And them guys with bald heads sure make it easier to grade. But some of the silvers can be had in higher grade than 65 for the same money.

    I think that is the best way to collect them. Just try to get the ncest you can
    without busting the bank. You can find a really nice coin or two raw and look
    for others underpriced or undergraded and put together a great set with a lot
    of challenge for little cost.
