Excellent super tough rare coin to get.
Right now only 19 of them are in the population report.
It looks like many of them are in the IKE registry set. Maybe all, I didn't look at all the 100% complete registry sets.
There may be some in private collections that aren't in the registry sets though.
Maybe if you contact one of the registry set collection owners, and make them a really really good offer, they'd sell you their coin.
Of course then the real challenge would be making your own from searching through jillions of raw coins.

Good luck!
Even finding an original, unsearched 76-P Type 1 roll is tough!

I think your best bet might be from a mint set.
There are so many High-End Ike Registry collectors looking for
this one, that I bet one would fetch over $3,500 if it
ever came up on eBay.

Mike,
I thought you already had several of them?...

cladking · September 17, 2004 3:36AM

Mint set gems of this one are pretty tough. Only about 1% of coins from original sets stand out and these may not
all be MS-65 though the lion's share probably are. MS-66's are few and far between with only about one coin in a
thousand having a shot at it.

The search will be complicated by the fact that original mint sets are getting harder to find. More than half of these
now days have been checked for gem Ikes.

Gandyjai; I figured you or Gary Hoop would have offered him one for $5k.

GRANDAM · September 17, 2004 4:13AM

Earl,

I don't have one. Check my sets!

As they say in CLADIKEKINGDOM in reference to the 76P TYPE 1 IN MS-66 "GOOD LUCK"

There is one up on ebay right now... In a complete set, if your willing to trust the seller and fork up the
5 figure number its gonna take to buy it... It can be yours!

earlwbollinger · September 17, 2004 4:39AM

Sorry I thought for sure one of you two had been stashing one someplace.
You both always have such really impressive sets too.

khayse · September 17, 2004 10:06AM

$10,000 for the full set isn't bad. You could resell most of them and keep the 76-P and it wouldn't be too bad.

I need one as well for a different client.

I can tell for sure seveal of the Type I's are mislabeled Type II's.

I think $3500 is probably a good number now.

USMC_6115 · September 17, 2004 11:32AM

Is it just me; or do some of those coins appear to have been graded when PCGS was a little more lenient? I'm not trying to start anything, I'm just curious

segoja · September 17, 2004 11:39AM

Not all of them. I have a few and they are 66's.

There may be a few squeakers, but on the whole, I think ok coins.

misterR · September 18, 2004 5:54AM

I tend to agree with massscrew.

You put out a thread looking for a coin, and someone adds to your
post that he just bought one from another member.

Congrats Grandam

Cool.

Was it as much as you expected? How's it look?

khayse · September 18, 2004 12:58PM

Slug,

I'd ask for some sort of finders fee if I were you.

GRANDAM · September 18, 2004 1:05PM

Cladking:

It is a VERY nice coin. My THANKS to James Sego for selling me this coin.

Slugfootball:

Sorry if I offended you by posting on your thread. I too have been looking for this coin for a long time. I just happened to be in "the right place at the right time" today. I bought the coin in person from James at the Illinois Numismatic Association 45th Annual Fall Convention.

I have bought and sold many coins with James and have always had GOOD experiences with him. Today was the first time I have had the pleasure to meet him in person.

James also brought his #1 IKE Set for me to see. I was VERY impressed with the QUALITY of the coins in his set. I also had the chance to see several PKOK Coins in person for the 1st time. They are VERY beautiful coins!!!!!!!!

If anyone is looking for some TOP NOTCH IKE'S contact James. He has many nice coins.

Gary,
Congrats on the 1976-P in ms66 !!

USMC_6115 · September 18, 2004 3:01PM

Hey Slugfootball,

Here, let me wipe those footprints off your back. There that's better; you were looking like a doormat for a second there!

slugfootball · September 18, 2004 3:03PM

Hello to all in this thread,

I am SORRY if I offended anyone with my earlier reply
Re: Grandam locating a 76-P ty1 in 66.
It was not meant to be a “low blow” !!!!

My sincere apologies to Grandam, and Segoja

Mike Keller (slugfootball)

GRANDAM · September 18, 2004 7:38PM

I would like to apologize to Mike (slugfootball) and anyone else I offended by posting on his thread. I honestly didn't think about it like that at the time I did it. I was just excited about acquiring the coin.

I only posted here as having this coin because I was "called out" by name for having one when I didn't. I posted that I didn't have one and then a few days later I add one to my set. So I posted here because I felt like I owed an explanation as to how it came about. I didn't want anyone to think I wasn't telling the truth when I said I didn't have one.

That is really great? Way to go?
