Which US Mint Packages Contain Ikes [eisenhower]

I was taught to always by the key date coins' first and fill in the common later, because a common coin will always be a common coin. That being said, take a look at some brown and blue ikes - you can find some pretty big differences right off the bat. The average dealer isn't taking the time to really stare at them - they are just sold for their silver value and perhaps a small premium.

If you want some nice proof's - take a look at some of the pcgs pr 69 dcam - they are available en mass - and often for not much more than you'd pay to have it slabbed. if you were going the slabbed route.

OK ibab & Carson City five 9's:

I bought my first brown Ike, a 1971, last week. It wasn't in its box, but the Mints plastic case was intact. There were also two brown Ikes with NGC tape, with a grade, wrapped around the Mint's slab. I'll begin to include slabbed Ikes in my search!

As for DCAM or DCAMS I suspect DC is for deep cameo. What does AM or AMS mean?
