Many of these are listed on ebay but don't include the "Big Sky" in the title listings. So you simply can't search by those words and catch all of them. It's a bit laborious, but you just have to look in the TPG to narrow it down a bit more.

Thanks for posting the Ike, Darth. Very nice. The Ike I picked up was a 1977 D MS 65. I have been thinking about checking with my bank to see if they have any bags/rolls of Ikes sitting around...not likely.

I collect Ikes I just don't have any of the hoard ones. I'm working on a registry set and as DarthMorgan had already said the hoard one are just not where they need to be grade wise for me.

These are what I'm adding to my set.

No problem.

When you are done with those, head over to this thread for some eye candy...

I like the idea of having some big sky Ike's.

The ones I have seen online seem to be common coins for the
grades. But at a higher price

When I do find some local at a good price, I will be getting some.

GR- I have searched for these under "completed" auctions on ebay, and some have sold for under $10 with free shipping. I'm a buyer all day long at that price. I would probably build a small hoard of Big Sky Hoard Ikes.

Here are a few photos (taken with a cell phone, obviously) of my Big Sky dollar with presentation box and certificate. Forgive the quality of the photos, the dollar in person is really nice.

Curious, do you all know if the Big Sky presentation boxes are rare? I have only seen one, and I own it (happily!)

Not too shabby.

I have never seen the presentation box before, so I cannot answer the question.

Thanks! I have looked high-n-low, and I have yet to find another box and certification like this one.

Looks like this is the only Big Sky Hoard offering from Littleton at this time...

Thanks for posting the link. $210 seems like a lot of money for the three Ikes. Or maybe I am missing something?

A close up of the obverse of my Big Sky Ike. Would this crescent shape in bottom left be toning or some previous damage?

No, it is a lot. You are paying for the provenance.
