President Eisenhower had a personal coin collection which he donated to the Smithsonian Institution in June 1958. I posted an image at my ANA blog that identifies a few of his world specimens. The complete inventory will be released via a numismatic article (when I have time).
Guess what other specimens are in his collection...

This looks very promising. Keep us updated, I'd like to know more about this. And... just wondering if there currently are some monarchs or presidents out there who also take part in this hobby...  |

Strictly speaking, would Eisenhower's Morgans be considered Ike('s) Dollars?  |

Please let us know when/where the article will publish. That would be a fun inventory to see.

They should send me one of his coins since I was born the day he was elected.  |

Now you've done it - JBuck has a bad case of the "I wants". We'll be hearing about a break-in at the Smithsonian soon where "only a few coins of nominal value were taken..."

 I want it bad, but not that bad. I know my limits.  |

One of Ike's aides contacted the US Secret Service about a 1837 one cent coin. US Secret Service provided a two page historical hard times token write-up to Ike's aide. Cool.  |

Any chance that you have had time to work on an article about this? I'd be delighted to learn more about the collection of Eisenhower.
