<< <i><<Cladking you did the unspeakable!!! You used modern and rare in the same sentence!!!
Sorry "NO SUCH THING" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!>>
Well, this is an interesting and spirited thread. Please forgive the interruption but I have a candidate for modern and rare. Consider the 1972 D quarter with the high relief proof artwork type B reverse. I calculate less than 40,000 were made and I only know of a half dozen in captivity. The rest of them are out there circulating just waiting to be picked up. But after 38 years of circulation, they might be showing their age. Nevertheless, I would like to get ahold of one more in any condition. >>
I would pay decent money for any of those CuNi clad B coins but I expect that crypto79 doesn't have a clue about what you're talking about. Of course, this is true of many folks as ya gotta spend some time going through CuNI clad coins to know whats out there and I don't think many folks do that anymore.
Define Modern Rarity? Spend some time looking for one and you'll understand.
Anybody got some DDO-001 1970-D Washingtons out there?
I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.
Don't get me wrong I do like the Type "B" Washington quarter reverses. But one of my personal favorite of the Washington quarter varieties is the Type "M" or CONECA RDV-007 1969-D 12%, 1970-D 11% and 1970-P 6% of mintage.
This has been a fun thread to read. Thanks to GRANDAM, all of those that participated but most of all ............RickO, the most popular guy on campus today.

I simply point out the FACT that PCGS has more registered IKE Sets than other Dollar coins and I am amazed by the hatred for IKE'S and Modern's in general
As I said before numbers translates into popularity. More sets,,,,, more popular. The reasons why they are popular are not important to my original statement.

I don't think you can draw popularity from numbers is the point I am trying to make. If you put 1000 true coin collectors in a line had had them chose between a bust small eagle or an Ike a number between 999 and 1001 would pick the Bust dollar. Under your logic : Ugly looking ladies are more popular than Victoria's secret models because more guys are married to them, which is silly but applies to this on a few levels. Preference = popularity .......prolific accessibility = numbers.
GrandAm, Things sure got spirited, I am glad that it was just on the computer. A few collector friends I have here in town are always giving me a hard time (In Fun) about my passion for Ike's. The first time brought up the subject about the Type "M" reverse CONECA RDV-007 Washington quarter I learned about from the research done by ProofArtworkonCircs.they actually thought I had made it up and was pulling their legs. I had to bring one of the laptops and an example of the coin to show next time we got together. I am trying to show them the usefulness of computers.

Don't forget the 1968 S proof Type "M" that was approximately 75% of that year/mint production. Thus it was initially a proof only design. What really fascinates me is that the 1968S, 1969 D and 1970D, ALL had Types "M", "B" and at least one business strike style existing simultaneously.

Maybe it is how you define popularity. For most the word has a connotation of preference or desirability, not just quantity.
Gold and silver are valuable but wisdom is priceless.

And how many "real" collectors do you know with a complete set of gem small bust eagle dollars?
Even though morgans are far more numerous in high grade than Ikes there are still more registry sets of Ikes than morgans. It appears that neither preference nor "prolific accessibility" has helped the morgans to be enterred in the registry as much as the Ikes.
Don't you think this might be because real collectors collecting real coins have found that Ikes are more affordable? Doesn't it seem that the cost/ benefit ratio must favor the Ike in more people's minds?
I Like Ikes & Other large Dollar Sized coins like Morgans and peace Dollars.
There are some really rare Ikes. MS67 Clads for example.
Go find me a 76-D Silver Ike, go find me a 73-S Clad Mint State Ike, go find me a nice 77-D Silver Ike.
How about a unique 1976 (no mint mark) Proof.
All the coins I mention have mintages well below that of an 1804 dollar. Yes demand for the 1804 is stronger, but the Ikes day will still come around. You don't see these rare coins trade hands much, because they are few in number and the folks that buy tham keep them. When they sell, there are lines of Ike folks waiting to scarf them up.
Maybe it is how you define popularity. For most the word has a connotation of preference or desirability, not just quantity. >>
I'd certainly agree it's not very popular to spend bust dollars at face.
In some things desirability is quantifiable. A Rolls Royce is most assuredly a better car than a 1984 Yugo that "needs work". But how do you quantify how much better an 1804 dollar is than an Ike. OK, the old coin has $15 worth of silver in it and sells for five million while the Ike has a dime's worth of cu/ ni and sells for a few hundred.
If the Ike is rarer then why can't it be more popular? Is $14.90 going to make or break the guy who pays $5,000,000.00 for a coin.
<< <i>PCGS Registry Set numbers are not so much "statistics" as a solid measure of the popularity of Ike sets among the PCGS Registry Set owners.
If Subaru's were the car most entered in amateur auto races across the country, that would not be a statistic as much as a fact. Statistics have their greatest usefulness and impact when absolute measurements are not feasible and sampling techniques are therefore necessary.
"What is the most popular (with males) breast shape/size?" cannot be easily "measured" but using a representative population of males one could come up with a statistical estimate that would be accurate to +/- some percentage depending on sample size and other parameters. If the study modalities included measurements of male turgor, "objectivity" would be "enhanced". . .

1968 S, 1969 D, 1970 D and 1970 Philladelphia gives you a complete set of type M quarters unless you want to inclued the class III doubled dies for both circulation strike mints of 1970. Please let me know how much another set holder would cost.
In the FEV article in the July 2007 Numismatist, a minimum of 4 different dies were identified by the mint mark placement. In addition there were three other doubled dies involved. Except these were all abnormally scarce. The same article estimated total FEV mintage at about 500,000, with a minimum of 250,00 and a maximum of 1,000,000. Offhand, I don't know if these numbers have been refined in the last 3 years.
I look and see a number like 1457 registry sets for Ikes and try to picture the 1457th best Ike of each date. We're way down below MS-65 for a lot of these coins. Then there are thousands of other collectors who are trying to put toget- her choice and gem sets from both raw and slabbed coins and you know they must have a lot of these top grades as well.
That's a lot of demand for just a few coins and there's no reason to believe that demand growth is going to slow. There's every reason to believe that supply will continue to erode and it will be decades before many of these sets hit the market. Most collectors tend to be generally younger.
It took me a long time to warm up to him but I must confess, "I like Ike".
Herb, As soon as August vacation is over I am going to begin to design the Type "M" holder and talk to the folks at the plant about it. As soon as I found out about the specifics from them I'll contact you.

Clad King, I could not agree with you more. Being the last large silver dollar coin and being relatively inexpensive to build a MS60-63 set which will appeal to starting and younger numismatist's. Once they begin to learn about the series is when things really start to take off I think. Not to mention the errors and varieties which is what caught my attention about them. I was into Morgan and Peace Dollar VAM's when I began the Eisenhower Dollar series. I had no idea when I began the series that there could be so many errors and varieties in such a short series of coins.And to be on the ground floor and to not only be able to watch but to actively participate in new discoveries in any coin series is just a whole lot of fun and an incredible challenge. And I have got to have a challenge.
The 150th poster to this thread will receive a FREE PCGS MS67 1972-S Silver IKE
I hope it goes to one of you guys who hates IKE's because after you see a high grade silver IKE you will fall in LOVE with the series and I have no doubt you will want to complete the set and make it 1458 registered sets
Seriously, the 150th poster will get the coin. BUT, to get the coin, you will have to PM me saying "I LIKE IKE" and LMK you are #150 and I will confirm it and send you the coin.

Here's post #79. Ike's are so big and bulky, they are rare in POP TOP grade. They are pretty if you consider this fact. If you look at it as just another big fat slug, then, you are missing the OP's point. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Ray
You only live life once, enjoy it like it's your last day. It just MIGHT be!
I like Ike. But I only voted for him once (actually .8 vote) in 1956 in spite of the Republican's urging me to vote twice for him (seriously). If this gets anybody curious, I will explain further. In the meantime, this is #80.
I have to admit, I like the Ikes. While I do like the Peace dollar more, the Ike, to me, is a far superior coin than the Morgan, or bust. (never really liked that design much). About equal, to me, with the seated but given my love of outer space, if pressed I would likely choose the Ike.
In 1956 I lived in Maine. The Presidential elections were in November like everybody else, but Congressman, Senators, and Governors were elected in the early September election. (The September election has been eliminated now.) The Popular Edmund Muskie was the Democratic candidate for Governor. The Republicans were urging us to support IKE and vote twice for him, once in September by voting Republican for governor and once in November for President. It did NOT work at all. Muskie was elected. That was the first election I voted in. On the top of the ballot, there were big boxes for voting a straight ticket.
Come November, I was very surprised to see the 5 (then, 4 now) individual electors listed on the ballot. The big print on the top of the Ballot was for voting for a straight ticket again. But if you looked further down on the ballot, it was possible to split your vote between the Republican and Democratic electors. I couldn't resist. I voted for 1 Democrat and 4 Republicans. Good thing I did it then. I have never had such an orportunity since. By 1960 I was out of Maine.
Maine has a new quirk. The electoral vote can now be split, depending on how the individual Congressional districts vote.

I'd certainly agree it's not very popular to spend bust dollars at face.
In some things desirability is quantifiable. A Rolls Royce is most assuredly a better
car than a 1984 Yugo that "needs work". But how do you quantify how much better
an 1804 dollar is than an Ike. OK, the old coin has $15 worth of silver in it and sells
for five million while the Ike has a dime's worth of cu/ ni and sells for a few hundred.
If the Ike is rarer then why can't it be more popular? Is $14.90 going to make or
break the guy who pays $5,000,000.00 for a coin.
<< <i>Yes, but a Rolls Royce that "needs work" is a far worse car than the Yugo! Ask anyone who has spent $4000 for the Brake Job
If you pull up in a Yugo that needs brakes everyone just jumps
out of the way. But a Rolls that needs brakes will still get the
women crowding round.
Besides, if you can afford a Rolls you can afford a $4000 brake
job.
<< <i>PCGS Registry Set numbers are not so much "statistics" as a solid measure of the popularity of Ike sets among the PCGS Registry Set owners.
If Subaru's were the car most entered in amateur auto races across the country, that would not be a statistic as much as a fact. Statistics have their greatest usefulness and impact when absolute measurements are not feasible and sampling techniques are therefore necessary.
"What is the most popular (with males) breast shape/size?" cannot be easily "measured" but using a representative population of males one could come up with a statistical estimate that would be accurate to +/- some percentage depending on sample size and other parameters. If the study modalities included measurements of male turgor, "objectivity" would be "enhanced". . .

1457th best Ike of each date. We're way down below MS-65 for a lot of these
coins. Then there are thousands of other collectors who are trying to put toget-
her choice and gem sets from both raw and slabbed coins and you know they
must have a lot of these top grades as well.
That's a lot of demand for just a few coins and there's no reason to believe that
demand growth is going to slow. There's every reason to believe that supply will
continue to erode and it will be decades before many of these sets hit the market.
Most collectors tend to be generally younger.
It took me a long time to warm up to him but I must confess, "I like Ike".
As soon as August vacation is over I am going to begin to
design the Type "M" holder and talk to the folks at the plant about it.
As soon as I found out about the specifics from them I'll contact you.

Clad King,
I could not agree with you more. Being the last large silver dollar coin and being relatively inexpensive to build a MS60-63 set
which will appeal to starting and younger numismatist's. Once they begin to learn about the series is when things really start to take off
I think. Not to mention the errors and varieties which is what caught my attention about them. I was into Morgan and Peace Dollar VAM's
when I began the Eisenhower Dollar series. I had no idea when I began the series that there could be so many errors and varieties in such a short series of coins.And to be on the ground floor and to not only be able to watch but to actively participate in new discoveries in any coin series is just a whole lot of fun and an incredible challenge. And I have got to have a challenge.

Well, thank you. As much as I like Ike I do like the quarter even more.
Well,lets see,my superb Blue Pack 1973S,Silver clad has a mintage of only 1,883,140.
I was looking to buy some nice Blue Pack Ikes at a show a few years ago.Couldn't buy 'em because all that I saw had problems.

I hope it goes to one of you guys who hates IKE's because after you see a high grade silver IKE you will fall in LOVE
Seriously, the 150th poster will get the coin. BUT, to get the coin, you will have to PM me saying "I LIKE IKE" and LMK you are #150 and I will confirm it and send you the coin.

I thought a definition of the word "popular" was needed here. From Merriam-Webster...
1 : of or relating to the general public
2 : suitable to the majority: as a : adapted to or indicative of the understanding and taste of the majority <a popular history of the war> b : suited to the means of the majority : inexpensive <sold at popular prices>
3 : frequently encountered or widely accepted <a popular theory>
4 : commonly liked or approved <a very popular girl>

If this gets anybody curious, I will explain further. In the meantime, this is #80.
I have to admit, I like the Ikes. While I do like the Peace dollar more, the Ike, to me, is a far superior coin than the Morgan, or bust. (never really liked that design much). About equal, to me, with the seated but given my love of outer space, if pressed I would likely choose the Ike.
One of these days I'll finish the set!
Come November, I was very surprised to see the 5 (then, 4 now) individual electors listed on the ballot. The big print on the top of the Ballot was for voting for a straight ticket again. But if you looked further down on the ballot, it was possible to split your vote between the Republican and Democratic electors. I couldn't resist. I voted for 1 Democrat and 4 Republicans. Good thing I did it then. I have never had such an orportunity since. By 1960 I was out of Maine.
Maine has a new quirk. The electoral vote can now be split, depending on how the individual Congressional districts vote.
So, GRANAM, are we aiming for #149 or #150?
<< <i>The counts listed within the posts seem to be off. I think this will show as #84, but you started at #0. So this is the 85th post, unless somebody else is posting at the same time.

They do get off sometimes but this one is right.
The first post isn't counted, only the responces.

I don't care much for that "common" crack.
I'm gonna write to Webster and complain.

GrandAm, Is this right
Sorry, Just an inside joke from a while back
The give-away is a great idea Thanks GrandAm
Not sure what post this is
The winner will be post #150. But since I am feeling generous and I am approaching 3,000 posts I will award a 2nd coin to the 1st person to PM me after I hit the number 3,000. As above the person must PM ASAP after I show 3,000 posts and say in the PM "I LIKE IKE"

Is the 1971-D CONECA RDV-006 a Pattern or a Variety?
I would like to here some thoughts from some experts.
There are or were so many in circulation, I have to vote for variety.
