I just received Jim Barlow's latest pricelist. Sure enough, on the front cover- right next to an offering for a 1971-P in PCGS MS66 is a PCGS MS66 1976 type I Ike. Price tag: $4,800.00.

Shiroh- May I borrow that read when you're done?!

76-D T1 374 in 65, 108 in 66, and 2 in 67
66 for the D mint should run about 5% of that price, unless it is really high end.
Shiroh, I have a book for you to borrow -- How to Win Friends And Influence People by Dale Carnegie.

But, the real test with any of these coins is the true "buy/sell" spread. If the spread was hypothetically around $2500 buy / $5000 sell, that speaks volumes to me Wondercoin

Do you have a good view from that glass house?
Tad: Only thing I see is that your kid's college fund is doing quite well with all those sales of those toned beauties and Goodacres. Sure I'm jealous Wondercoin.
The 76-P is gone, sold from Jim's list. Not sure about the 71-P.
The 76-D Type I is in the $350-450 range for a decent piece. One recently sold on e-bay for under, but it looked rough.
The prices from last Sept/Oct are history in this series, at least for know.

Obviously any thinly-traded expensive coin is going to have a much higher buy/sell spread than a common lower-priced coin. If you're selling such a coin, your best bet is probably to inquire about selling on commission, or to sell via an auction.
BTW, I don't know anything about this coin or its circumstances, just talking generalities.
And when I say Jim knows Ikes- remember he's the one that has made four of the 76-D's in MS67.

Not that it makes much difference for finding true MS66 coins I'm afraid.
How many bags of Ikes have you guys looked through??? I've looked through two, both 74-D's. Not one coin in the whole lot would grade MS65 by todays standards, and that was back in 1986 that I looked through them. My guess is that they've been moved around a bunch since then, putting even more marks on them.
the good coins come from rolls put up back in the early 70's, when no one cared. Even today, dealers are reluctant to carry them to shows because they are too heavy. Most don'r realize how expensive the high grade coins have become, or they would look.

Do you think the set registry weight affect the price?
Think about this. Would you pay $$$$$ (last transaction that I know is $6900) for 1977D MS67 (pop 3 coin) to move WGA by 5 units or pay $$$ for 1976-P Type one MS66 (pop 16 "should be 15 or less") to move WGA by 8 units.
would be more accurately refered to as MS-20's since they look like VF's.
I went through an entire bag of 1971 once and the best I did was 3 or 4 marginal MS64 coins. Another time I bought some rolls from freshly opened bags of a guy who had put away 3 original bags of 1976 Ty1 himself. After I gone through about a bag's worth he found out what I was doing and decided to search them all himself instead to "cash in". Probably did me a favor, as I had only found 1 marginal MS65 to that point. Don't know how he did, but the MS66 pop did not increase.
As segoja mentioned, the best source for "bag" coins is to find rolls that were put away back when they were first released. If you find an unopened bag now, it's probably best left that way -- most were not stored or transported with care and the coins are terrible.
But if you have a choice (1973 or later) mint sets are by far the better bet. My guess is that most of the remaining undiscovered super-gem Ikes are to be found lying in a mint set tucked away in someone's basement. Probably some guy will buy it at a rummage sale for $10.
Casinos have since figured out that it's a lot more profitable to mint their own "dollars" rather than having millions of real dollars sit idle in their slot machines. And if the ocassional tourist keeps them as souvenirs, so much the better.

Barlow's latest pricelist?!? I didn't get one. Man, what'd I do
to fall off "the list".
The price sounds high. I would expect it to be closer to the price
of a 71-P. I was wondering if the pending weighting system would
raise the market price of a 71-P or lower the price of a 76-P T1.
An of course on a point/price ratio I would rather buy the 72-P
(if the 76-P costs 4800).
