Eisenhower Dollar Checklist Accuracy

Thanks for the reply Mach1, I think I'm going to just use the album as a guide too, later, if I find the other varieties I can always add them at the end. I think it's going to be tough enough finding higher grade 72's anyway.

I gotta say, Nickels, that I really like seeing your new found interest and enthusiasm for the Ike dollar series. It's always good to get another Ike fan on board. If I were you, and this is just a suggestion, I would just stick to completing the Dansco basic set for now. You can learn a lot about each coin and the series as a whole during this project/journey. I think you'll find that as you put this set together your interest may very well grow into other varieties of the series. Of course, I have also recommended to others that starting a registry set with major varieties is a fun and rewarding venture in itself. My major variety registry set is complete, but I have now began the process of upgrading certain coins. I'll never own a PF70 Ike, so my PF69 subset will never be upgraded, but there are plenty of others that I can tackle. This is yet another way you can enjoy the "evolution" of your set. Keep up the good work AND your enthusiasm.

I completed the 32 coin set in the Dansco. I do not like empty holes, so I placed four seemingly random duplicates in the last four holes of the album... 1971-D, 1972, 1976 (V1), and 1977-D.

After I learned about the three 1972 varieties, I checked the two I had in my album. I was surprised to find that I have a variety 3 in the dated slot and a variety 1 in the extra slot. I still do not have a variety 2, so no telling where it would end up.

Good call!

For what it is worth, I have the 1990 in the Commemorative Dollar hole of my 7070.

I finished my set about a year ago.
my dansco is full except the 73 proof , I have 3 in the mint box and do not want to open them.

but I'm still looking for the 73 proof opened at my right price

it was fun putting this together, I also have a set complete that I bought for $199.00.

Heh..I'm going to need something to do after these Ike's and I wasn't thrilled about type sets but carnold showed his, and it looks great, and then you spoke of it....I'm like ol Dobbin..dangle the carrot in front of me and sooner or later I'll bite it! Actually, I'm checking out all the possibilities for a next project and a type set may be just the thing. I think there are too many Kennedy halves for me to do a set of those... I don't have that long of an attention span. Franklins?...kinda pricey...Any suggestions from anyone that did an interesting project or is working on one?

Thanks for your comments jbuck, I'm still trying to decide about what's next. Let me ask you a question about the Ike's first if I may. I'm down to needing three coins to finish my Ike's. A 1971 and a 1972 and what I'd like to ask you about, the Bicentennial 1976S 40% silver proof. The only way to get a "real" one is the 3-pack like this one? Thanks much.




I agree with you about the nickels.....but I already have several sets put away. I'm a big fan of Jefferson and all the history that goes with him.
