Just a break from working on my Whitman Large Cent year album I was "talked into" putting together an Ike album and actually am glad I did, it was fun trying to find the best coins cause I sure found out there is ALOT of crappy stained, fingerprinted, & milk spotted Ikes out there. Just a thumbs up to @jbuck who got me interested in them. I had bought 4 from the gas station clerk from a guy spending them for some cigs (those would be the last 4 in the open holes of the last page.)
The one proof that is red was because I had on a red sweatshirt with white lettering as I was taking the picture........

That is brilliant Mark! A complete set. The words "complete set" and "coins" go well together. The stars have lined up for you on Christmas Eve!

Let me restate that. Actually, the words "complete set", "coins" and "Dansco" go better together.

Thanks for all your replies! Whats strange is I wonder why the 74-S 40% proof and the 78-S clad proof has the same apparition on their proof fields, in hand those fields are perfect mirrors. Hope that ain't from a ghost in the house - LOL!

Good job, Mark. Bet it's fun to finish a set. I've never done it (yet?)

Very nice! I had considered doing this set in the past but I found the 71 and 72 P&D are kinda tough finding reasonably prices in MS condition.
