Mister Kairu - Good information ... I guess I am buying them at the right price. ------------------------------------------------------------ Quote:
Is the dollar date set 7172? CLS12 - yes it is from a 7172 (dollar date set) album. The completed album can be seen in this thread. The first pictures are of my Two album Morgan set, followed by the Date set album. https://goccf.com/t/227115----------------------------------------------------- Quote:

You have enough Ikes when people start wondering why prices are climbing.

Thanks Jbuck ... I like the 7172 also.
I am liking the two album Morgan set more and more.
Six holes to fill .... Not counting the 1895 ...

I am not sure. I pick up all the ones I can when they come into my drawer at the bank. I am at 63 now...not sure where the crap I am going to store them either! :(

Good golly, it's the GR58 hoard of Ike dollars. My take on this, knowing your love for quarters, is that you will have too many Ikes when you have more Ikes than quarters. Hehe. Cascade mentioned Redfield's thoughts on his personal Morgan dollar bank vault. What is utterly fascinating to me is that there was never any evidence that he even opened a single bag. No checking for rare dates/mms. Truly bizarre and fascinating. But, after all, Redfield was not a collector. He just preferred hard money, and he certainly didn't trust the banks. This leads me to the Big Sky Hoard. I wonder if that prominent Montana family (the owners) ever checked on those coins during the many years they were being stored. Why did they save them? Why 220,000? Could they only get 220 bags at that particular time? How many bags were 77-D? 78-D? Lots of questions to peek my interest. I'm glad the Eisenhower series has a famous hoard to call its own. I'm currently working on a BSH subset. My goal is to obtain every date/mm that was discovered in the hoard. I also have a bank box of 500 Ikes and then some. I think of them as my mini hoard. |

If you really 'need' the extra two 1972 relief varieties, then make it 36. Otherwise. one of each is all I needed.
