denco7 Pillar of the Community United States 2543 Posts	Posted 10/03/2015 8:58 pm A Blue Ike is an uncirculated Ike. A Brown Ike is a proof Ike. They were so so named because of their packaging. The blue Ike came on a cellophane package with a blue mint token. The brown Ike was issued in a brown outer box. EDIT: What he said. Edited by denco7 10/03/2015 9:00 pm Report this Post to the Staff

As posted above UNC's came in a blue envelope, proofs came in a brown box. I don't have a pic of brown box on this computer, but here are some blues Report this Post to the Staff
