These over looked and under valued coins will someday be recognized by the collecting community for their rarity and investment potential. Since the final Ike was minted 41 years ago - when does the seller suppose 'someday' will arrive? Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art |

From the listing: Quote:I've sold a few roll sets before but I've never seen a roll set like this listed on ebay! That means it HAS to be rare! Oh wait, only one is in a slab, that's the rare one. |

I feel like he would make more money if he sold the sets individually. I don't think many people are looking for 20 complete Ike sets.

Since the final Ike was minted 41 years ago - when does the seller suppose 'someday' will arrive? You might not be aware of it but the wholesale price on "common" date BU Ike rolls has gone from $40 to $60 in just the last year and a half or so! All of these are far scarcer than people imagine because there weren't that many rolls saved and mint set coins are mostly tarnished now days and can't be sold as "BU". These coins were only $1.20 each just ten or fifteen years ago so they have been sold to the general public and often mishandled for a very long time. Even now the attrition on them is extremely high Many of these coins are fewer in number than common date Morgan dollars and the Ikes were generally poorly made to start with. Most of the Ikes are tougher in Gem than most of the Morgans. If these ever get widely collected there will be some huge surprises like the scarcity of decent looking chBU '76 type I's or the 1974 or even the 1971. There are also several interesting varieties that are scarce in chBU. NO Ike is common in Gem and only the '77 and '78-D even approach being common. Time don't fly, it bounds and leaps.

That's an awfully high asking price for so few of the coins visible!
