Kinda of like in Jingle All The Way with TURBO MAN...
"I have one I made it myself months ago, nestled comfortably in the safe, carefully registered in my registry set, and waiting for the SMS/Non-Circulating coin sets to come on-line."
As you know it's always been a tough coin. Now it's extremely difficult to find any 1973 mint sets which haven't been screened for nice Ikes. It's been along time since I've seen better than an MS-64 in a set. This is beginning to really affect a lot of the other mint set coins also. How long will it be till you can't even find nice dimes here.
Very recently there is a definite drop-off even in MS-63 quality for mint set Ikes. I don't know if they are being sold to the market or accumulated for speculation. The wholesalers take everything down to MS-61, and will even take MS-60's if they are attractive.

Sorry Bill, had to do it!
