I personally don't include those in my Dansco, but I do include them in my graded set. Personal preference. I like that the CAPS Album includes spots for these 2015 Ikes, one of the reason I chose CAPS at the time. Granted, I would do things differently now. I have found CAPS Albums a pain to store. They are too big. I am really considering moving to an 8176. |

A slabbed Ike set should be easier to store, if you are worried about damaging the coins and want to protect them in plastic,
About twenty slabs should easily fit in a slab box and doesn't take up much space.

I have a Lighthouse box that holds 50 slabs, which is more than enough space for my graded set and a couple of fun extras...  http://goccf.com/t/279370#2371279http://goccf.com/t/312202#2651935CelticKnot uses the same box... http://goccf.com/t/354375 |

CelticKnot uses the same box... Yep and I really like it. Slabs are securely stored yet easy to pop out to view. Might work on some sort of labeling such that it's easier to tell what's what from the top. Kind of like a Whitman Sampler guide.  Edited by CelticKnot

I agree, a slabbed Ike set would take up less space than a CAPS album. I have multiple Intercept shield 20 slab boxes to store my Morgan collection, works great and fits in my safe nicely. I am not wanting to get a slabbed Ike set, at least for right now. The Dansco albums are much smaller and would take up a lot less space for my raw Ikes compared to the CAPS.

It helps that the PCGS slabs have changed over the years. Most are in current plastic, but I have some visible boundary markers created by the few in older slabs (no rattlers, my oldest are Gen 4.4). This helps guide me to specific issues . |

I enjoyed my completed Ike Dansco for 23 years before I tackled the graded set. Now I have two Ike sets. More to love!  |

One of my first projects when I start collecting was a PCGS graded set of Ikes. I still need the 1971-D Type 1 and 1972-P Type 3. The clads are mostly MS-65, with the 1972-P Type 1&2 being MS-63 and 1971-P an MS-64. The silver circs are MS-67 and 1973-S is an MS-68. The clad and silver proofs are all PR-69. I had the 21st ranked set at some point but it doesn't mean that much to me the compete. I may just get all of those clads to MS-65. I may put together another (non-graded) set since they aren't too expensive. I feel as though my collection is very diluted trying to build every denomination set from Barbers forward and Three Cent Nickels and Two Cent copper and Indian Heads forward. I just gave myself a headache. |

 to the Community, Bosstone100! Good to see another Ike lover here. In my case, the PCGS set was my second. My first was a Dansco 8176 like this one. |

I still remember Ikes as a kid. There was a yearly church bazaar and my uncle used to gamble over there. they paid off in Ikes. This was probably the early to mid 80s. Ikes were still readily available. I grab them whenever I can at banks, etc. but I've never found a silver that way and certainly nothing that doesn't look like it dragged through mine field.
(I meant PR-69 on those proofs)

@ Bosstone100 to CCF I hope that you will collect a great Ike set, just be sure to post it in a topic for us to look at. |

It would appear that my Album is not showing all the proper labeling when I first posted it. I may have to upload more to reflect a 'completed' album.

I see where you added labels in the page 3 images and again on page 4. Have they changed since then?
