Eaglefoot,
Great read thank you for sharing.
Looking for Very Nice Brown Ike's is definitely a challenge.
Heck any high grade Ike is a prize. Anything above MS66 on the Copper-Nickel clads and the prices quickly get into the thousands of dollars.
They are difficult at best to find in Great Condition.
I have been working on my Dansco for a little two years now.
And as people begin to realize how hard they are to find more people
will start collecting them driving prices up more.
Bar none the Ike's have been the most challenging and most fun series
I have ever collected. With all the varieties in the series and more being discovered all the time I am just having a blast.
I used to do Morgan and Peace dollar VAM's and found the Ike DIVA's
(Designated Ike VAriety) far more fun due to the fact that there are many that have not been found. Because until recently no one REALLY looked at Ike's now there is Very intensive research on the entire series. And a new book on Ike's hopefully will be released at the end of this summer with a lot of recent discoveries. four that I can think of off the top of my head just in the last year. A hand full
of Denver re-punched mint marks on different years.
Enjoy the Hunt.
It is a Blast
