Very nice. Were you around when the Ikes were made? I can't believe they decided to make a new dollar coin that no one would use. The small golden dollar has worked out nicely. True that the mint has made too many of them, but I see them used somewhat often (even for change at retail stores).

Really nice work @cj. My fave is that '71 proof.  "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

You did a remarkable job of finding coins that fit the set, rather than ones that looked "different". Thanks for sharing your thoughts after working through the set. I always count that type of information as especially valuable if I ever attempt that type of set myself. A whole passel of  |

I have duplicates in mine (1971-D, 1972, 1976 V1, 1977-D). I have thought about swapping them out over the years, but they are family now.  For what it is worth, the 1972 is a V1. My actual 1972 hole has a V3. This was just dumb luck, as I had them long before I learned there were three 1972 varieties. If I ever get a 1972 V2, it will probably be for my recently started slabbed set. |

I agree with others ... this is a very nice looking set. I think Ike sets are a great addition to any collection ... |

Thank you, Thank you everybody...  I showed it to my son, and first thing he said was "How much is that worth?" Then went back to his computer  I see why we post here at CCF  |
