I am not sure, but I seem to recall it being posted before. I will see if I can find it.

Seems like your memory is a bit off, since you were the one who asked last time a little over two years ago.

Hopefully you will remember this time. If not, I will remind you again in 2019.

Ike came out fairly late in 1971 after the mint sets were already on sale, and probably too late to arrange for the new sealing lay out needed for 1972. (Back then tooling for sealing dies could take months, and the mint sets went on sale in February.) But they did have enough lead time for 1973.

Even if Force had not forgotten, someone else would have asked eventually.

I remember back at the time thinking it was ironic they couldn't get the Ikes in the '71 and '72 mint sets and then when they finally did in '73 there were none made for circulation.
Time don't fly, it bounds and leaps.

It does seem odd that it took them three years to find a rhythm.
