Celticknot's Slabbed Ike Collection

Some of it depends on how congruent you want the set. A couple dates are significantly more expensive than the others. You can get a 78-D MS 66 for a little less than a 71-P 65 as an example. The later dates come nicer so do the D coins so they will be cheaper in better grades.

First of all, and second of all, you're absolutely correct. However, outside of geometry, "congruent" is a subjective word.

Ok, so it's been over a year since I posted progress on my PCGS graded Ike set. I do have a few additions in the past 13 months tp report:

o 1976-D Type I PCGS MS65
o 1976-D Type II PCGS MS66
o 2013-W PCGS MS69

And tonight I scored:
o 1977-D MS66

I'll post photos of this one when it hits the mailbox.

So that leaves 3 Ikes from the main set ('72-'78) and 3 from the "extended" set ('90, '13, '15). One of my 2021 Numismatic goals was to complete this set. It's doable but, as is typical, the high-hanging fruit coins are more costly and more difficult to find.

Looking forward to closing this one out and then upgrading all the non-proof to MS66 as budget allows.

I've been looking for a couple years now on ebay, and I have yet to see a 2015 P slabbed by any company, let alone PCGS. Plenty of D's, but no P's. And that 2015 RP is going to be expensive!



It's certainbly not going to be top priority for me. Plenty of other things to spend my numismatic budget on!

Interesting thought. I have two of the Ike C&C and could do that, but after the membership fee and the grading fees and the time invested to package up the coin and ship it, it starts to become a wash.

Hello friends. My most recent mailbox Ike is below and completes the "bonus" 2013 issues for me. I had to shop around for several years to get one that I felt was a decent price and couldn't pass on this one.



This just leaves the 2015 P and 2015 P RP for my bonus Ikes. Slowly chipping away at this set.

There are plenty of 2015-D out there on the bay, if you want to shell out 30 bucks. Mine's an MS67.

I have never seen a graded 2015-P for sale on ebay. All I can think is someone bought a bag of Ds and sent a ton in for grading with the intention of flipping. I just need someone to do that with the Ps now!
