Eric Kreszl Valued Member United States 85 Posts	Posted 05/29/2007 7:09 pm Hello Everyone, I know that its been a while since I last posted but I wanted an opinion. I have all of the Brown and Blue Eisenhower dollars except for 1973. Would it be worth it for me to buy the 1973 Brown and Blue Ikes? Any opinions and suggestions please let me know. Thank You, Eric Report this Post to the Staff

Eric Kreszl Valued Member United States 85 Posts	Posted 05/31/2007 10:25 pm Brown Ikes are the 40% Silver Proof Eisenhower dollars that are in the orginial government holders. They were made from 1971 through 1974. The Brown Ikes are housed in a slab similar in size to the GSA holders that held the CC Morgan silver dollars. The name brown refers to the brown box that the slabbed coins were kept in. The Blue Ikes are the Uncirculated versions of the 40% Silver Eisenhower dollars. These were housed in Pliofilm with a chip next to it that says Uncirculated Eisenhower dollar. These were housed in Blue envelopes hence the nickname Blue Ike. Report this Post to the Staff
