Once upon a time, they were going to be incredibly rare and lots of us fell for the hype.  40 years later they are worth about what we paid for them... -----Burton 50+ year / Life / Emeritus ANA member (joined 12/1/1973) Life member: Numismatics International, CONECA Member: TNA, FtWCC, NETCC, EveryCountry (online) coin club Owned by three cats and a wife of 40+ years (joined 1983) Author: 3rd Edition of the Sample Slabs book, https://www.sampleslabs.info/ |

...they were going to be incredibly rare... As is being discussed in the somewhat hijacked Ike thread, mint sets are being ripped apart at a steady clip. This applies to these coins as well. So yeah, they ARE becoming more and more rare in OGP. And quality ones outside of the OGP are becoming more scarce as well. |

Smokeriderdon;
ANACS will grade them in the original packaging?

mfhorn, yes indeed. They do not guarantee them as they have no way to actually seal the case, but they do grade them. They do the same for the GSA Morgans.

Check ebay if you want them for a good price. Make sure it's auctions. I checked the "buy it now" price so I didn't overpay. |

Yeah I'm notorious for breaking into cases and "sets" to put the coins in an album. I never really cared for all that extra plastic

That's why these are one of the rare Moderns I'll happily advise someone to buy as an "investment," for much the same reason as OGP GSA Morgans. Even if they're not rare yet, they will be. Buy them when you find them; just don't pay much premium yet. |

Just putting it out there, but if any of y'all get tired of hoarding 40% Ikes, drop me a message. |

The biggest issue with OGP blue & brown Ike's are the original packaging. The blue Ike's are packed in cheap cellophane that does not really protect the coin over time, mostly premature toning because the seal has been breached. While the brown Ike's are packed in a hard plastic case, this case does very little to protect the proof coin inside either. These cases tend to scratch the proof and/or the Ike dollar develops a cloudy-haze over the coin. When I get these Ike's, I will break them out of their OGP and put them in an airtite capsule and set the OGP aside. |
