Debrajc Pillar of the Community United States 4211 Posts	Posted 08/12/2015 05:44 am I need a non bicentennial Ike for a modern type set and looked at so many PCGS 69 DCAMs in the $25 to $60 range then I came across this listing: http://www.ebay.com/itm/17188978946...RK:MEBIDX:IT I kind of like that one, or should I get a PCGS one like this instead? http://www.ebay.com/itm/17187347066...RK:MEBIDX:IT It's on my list of things to do but I haven't started an Ike album yet so I haven't bought very many of them in the past. Opinions? Thanks for reading! ('') Edited by Debrajc 08/12/2015 05:46 am Report this Post to the Staff

Foxwoods Man Pillar of the Community United States 4901 Posts	Posted 08/12/2015 07:02 am I guess it depends on whether you will be collecting raw coins, slabs, or labels. You mentioned an album so a slabbed purchase doesn't fit. The NGC coin is not graded...just slabbed so the price should be less.. The PCGS coin is PF69 DCAM which is a nice coin and grade but again..slabbed. Depends on the direction that you want to go... Report this Post to the Staff

Debrajc Pillar of the Community United States 4211 Posts	Posted 08/12/2015 2:00 pm Thanks for the advise~!! Good idea on the mint or proof set. It doesn't have to be a 1973....just any Ike other than the 1976. And yes Foxwoods for this one set I don't mind cracking an occasional slab if I need to. I have been little disappointed with a few ebay purchases in the past so since this is a rather large coin I want it to stand out...maybe? I put in a bid on a really nice toned one I liked and was out bid in the last 2 seconds which is ok. The last coin show was in mid May and the next one within driving distance for me isn't until October 10th, and I don't have a good LCS close by. Wish I did! I don't enjoy shopping online for coins at all. I will continue my search for just the right one for that spot Report this Post to the Staff
AES Valued Member United States 452 Posts	Posted 08/12/2015 2:46 pm I suggest looking for some in an auction format. You will be able to get a 77 or 78 PR69 DCAM for about $10 if you don't mind losing a few auctions first. Never mind, I just saw you were shopping for silver.

I did that to fill those holes in my 8176 (Eisenhower Dansco Album). The other coins filtered down into the appropriate albums as well.
