The5814 New Member United States 28 Posts	Posted 07/29/2024 09:27 am I have these two very different 1973 S Eisenhower dollars and wondering if anyone thinks either has any special value? Are these just face value aside from the silver? Interesting to get some thoughts. Report this Post to the Staff

jbuck Moderator United States 187881 Posts	Posted 07/29/2024 09:31 am Nice Ikes! The first is 40% silver proof. Given the nickname "Brown Ike" for the brown wood-grain box that held the plastic lens in the original government packaging. The second 40% silver uncirculated. This one is known as the "Blue Ike" for the blue envelope, which you show in the photo. There two Ikes were the keys to the original 32 coin set. They are worth considerably more more than face. https://www.numismedia.com/fmv/pric...ices61.shtml Coin Collector Since 1978 Avatar Old Avatar 7070 Eisenhower Australia Canada World CCF Members on eBay CCF eBay Search Engine Report this Post to the Staff

The5814 New Member United States 28 Posts	Posted 07/29/2024 09:53 am @Jbuck, thank you! Very interesting. So from the looks of it the 1972 holds the highest value. I have a few, I just don't know how to differentiate T1 from T2. Report this Post to the Staff

There was a time in the 1980s when they were selling for more than they do today. Filling those holes seemed like an unfulfillable a dream to me. I finally bought my silver Ikes in the early 1990s when I realized how affordable they had become. http://goccf.com/t/233308&whichpage=3#1950255 Coin Collector Since 1978 Avatar Old Avatar 7070 Eisenhower Australia Canada World CCF Members on eBay CCF eBay Search Engine Report this Post to the Staff
