My Eisenhower And Anthony Dollar Collections

Hello, fellow coin fanatics. I've been a bit burnt out from spending a lot of funds towards my usual collections that I am always working on. I've been searching for some coins to collect that are easy to complete, won't break the bank too much, and still interesting IMO in terms of collectability.

Several people, including jbuck, have suggested I should try an Eisenhower dollar set, so I decided to finally give it a go. Awhile back, however, I also had the beginnings of a Susan B Anthony dollar collection started. It kind of fizzled a little bit as I focused on other things, and I ended up selling the album and coins to a friend. However, I kept the most obtainable coin for myself, the 81 Type 2 proof.

I was thinking about it recently how I wish I still had a SBA collection. It kind of goes back further with me, as when I was younger, I had a nearly full collection of them that I kept in a Dansco coin stock album. I had all coins, with the exception of the 79 type 2 proof and 81 type 2 proof.

That said, this is what I got started with recently

As you may have seen in my other recent thread, got this recently from ebay.


I took a little venture to the coin store today while I was out and about just to get started. I came out with 3 clad Ike dollars under 10 bucks. Not too shabby.

I think the 74-D was UNC/BU, but the others were circulated.


Got home and loaded them up into the album.


74-D


This SBA dollar collection I actually purchased for a decent price recently on ebay, which had 11 coins in it already. Considering the albums generally cost 30-45 dollars by themselves new, I paid 60 for everything including shipping and I don't think that was too bad at all for both the album and all the coins.

This is also a slightly older album from the looks of it.


All these coins were already in the album. Good start for me.


page 2 - all these were already there, with the exception of the 81 type 2 proof coin.



The scratching is on the album slide, and not the actual coin itself for the 81 type 1 proof.

All in all, not too bad I think for a day's work.
