Jbuck's Ikestraveganza - The 100,000th Post Countdown!

And we all do very much appreciate jbuck's frequent acknowledgment
of our modest efforts at keeping this wonderful forum ever entertaining.

jbuck, simply simply outstanding collection. This is utterly most miserable and upsetting coin to collect. I spent years and years trying to find nice Eisenhower's. Ike coins have always been beaten up in circulation because of their weight. I love these coins and think they are going to be one of the hardest and most appreciated collections in years down the road. Collectors just do not realize how hard it is to have a nice Ike collection. I can not say enough about the coins. I never find nice ones online and if you do they want an arm and a leg. I never found high grades when collecting them when I was young. Good luck and congrats on your collection jbuck. Thumbs up on your collection.

BTW - After reading this post I discovered that I had both types of bicentennial Ike dollars

The Silver Proof was in my CAPS binder and a Clad Proof was in my Intercept Shield Type Album

Now I know how I can fill my IKE row in my CAPS Binder

A 1971 Silver Proof for the intro and a 1978 silver proof for the last one issued and the type 1 and 2 Bicentennials in the middle

@JBuck

Do you have the 2015 Dwight D Eisenhower Coin and Chronicles Set?

Yes, I have two of them.

I have one intact in the OGP that I bought from the Mint when it was released. You can see it starting here.

I also have a PCGS graded pair. You can see them here and here.

Thank you.

Excellent!

Yeah, the "variety" in the C&C sets is perplexing.

The Lincoln set is the best of all, but it had to be unique because of the silver dollar and bronze cents.

My favourite layout is the Teddy set from 2013. I wish all the others were like that one, but I took what I could get.
