Jbuck Is Selling His Ike Collection! ...

I am not that kind of person.


I wish I had that many.

I have them all, although they're in mint and proof sets. Thanks to the Doctor I've been looking into toned ones to begin as soon as I find the right 1928 and 1934s Peace dollars to finish off those.

Thanks Burnzy!

Ikes are ugly but proud

Imo the Ike obverse design is middle of the road tier - average, nothing spectacular, but nothing abhorrent either (take SBAs for example). These detractors never stop me from collecting anything however, it often has more to do with any sentimental attachment I have with these. I don't adore Ikes but my grandpa collected them and thus I too have a respect for the series. One of my first numismatic products was a 2009 Presidential dollar proof set; it helped jump start my collection so naturally I'm inclined to collect more of those even if they're far from the most appealing specimens out there.

A lot of coins are ugly yet proud, proud to be ugly

Just thought I'd throw in my Two Cent Piece

There was no way I could come across that listing and not post it with a jbuck reference!

Ikes are most interesting to me for being both the last circulating large dollar coins and the last circulating silver dollars (whether meant to be or not).

Here's how you know it's not jbuck (from the description):





Speaking of silver Ikes, I'm getting pretty derned close to 10,000 posts. I think the contest and prizes have been figured out.
