ratman4762 Pillar of the Community United States 2520 Posts	Posted 02/13/2026 4:44 pm (regarding 40% silver "S" mint Ikes) The Uncirculated version of 1971-1974 came in a plastic sleeve with a plastic token and are called "Blue Ikes" because of the blue envelope they came in, and the proofs came in a black plastic case and are called "Brown Ikes" because of the brown box they came in. The 1976 Bicentennial Ikes came in a 3 piece set along with the quarter and half dollar. The Uncirculated set came in a plastic sleeve in a red envelope and the proof set came in air tights in a blue folding case sometimes still found in the original styrofoam and cardboard box. I've got WAY, Way too many of most of these 40% Ikes.... Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 94585 Posts	Posted 02/13/2026 6:02 pm I have 2 complete sets as well - 1 set in OGP and the other in my Dansco album - also in my signature file below, you can fond the coins I have. If you are only going for the 40% dollars, you will only find 9 of them in 40%. My sig file shows the Dansco set on mine and they are labeled with the 40% on them for you to find easily. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

That would be 10 of them in 40%....... My records show that I currently have 343- 40% Ikes. Most are in original government packaging with the exceptions of the ones in the 2 Dansco sets, 4- In PCGS PR 69 slabs and 24/28 of the ones listed here for sale on the forum. I Have alot more proof than uncs, not sure how many sets I could put together in original packaging since I don't have them organized by date....

cladking Pillar of the Community United States 2270 Posts	Posted 02/14/2026 09:01 am There are actually "12" 40% Ikes including a unique 1976 type II and a "scarce" 1976 40% BU made on a high speed press. Of course there are also numerous varieties. Time don't fly, it bounds and leaps. Report this Post to the Staff

Duly noted...but original comment was Quote: you will only find 9 of them in 40% . One is not likely to "find" those rarities that you mentioned nor the unique 1974D or 1976D in 40%.

Thank you. I couldn't remember the dates of those unique ones. There's also the scarce Nixon prototype. Time don't fly, it bounds and leaps. Report this Post to the Staff
