 CCF is also the reason I've come to appreciate Ikes as well. |

Anyone know of where I may be able to purchase uncirculated Ikes that will post to the UK. I've been picking them up from UK ebay in ones and twos but I'd like an uncirculated set if possible. |

There are many Ikes (and lots) for sale at USA Coin Book. The prices trend more toward retail than wholesale, but there are some great deals too.

I strongly recommend mint sets. Most ebay sellers will post to GB I believe. Unfortunately the packaging for these sets isn't stable and many of the Ikes are cloudy now but most will clean up in acetone or 91% isopropyl alcohol. For most dates the nicest Ikes went into mint sets. Mint set coins are often marked but strikes and die quality are much better. Typical Ikes aren't very pleasing and finding nice attractive MS-63 and better (what's called BU in Great Britain), can be tough. For some dates they can be surprisingly tough. The hardest is the '76 type I and this coin is actually scarce in Gem. Time don't fly, it bounds and leaps.

The 1976 (D) type (1) in good condition, has been relatively easy for me to get some. Get them out of un-searched bags. |

When you have enough post, you can start buying from members' listing on here and you will then able to put up a want list for trade/buy from fellow members on here. |
