I myself like the obverse of the Ike dollar. Simple, classic layout.

But I disagree that it's not popular. About 15-20 years ago, it was very popular.

I think one reason for any relative unpopularity was the fact that the blue Whitman folders became very heavy and unwieldly when full of these massive coins.

Interesting reasoning. My Ike Dansco feels pretty hefty.

I'm going with the Presidential dollars.

And not just certain ones, all of them.

(AU/BU) Ike dollars can reliably be sold for more than face value most anywhere except to a dealer. Maybe only for $1.10 - 1.25 each, but I think that proves they are more popular than the SBA dollars.

My kids absolutely love them! I was able to score a small stack of circulated ones from my bank about a year ago, and my three year old's eyes lit up: "Daddy, these are SO BIG!"

That is similar to how I got started.
