$40 In Ikes From The Bank: What Should I Do With Them?

"Anyone know of any variations or chery picks I should be looking for through these 300 IKEs?"

ianmprice,

Absolutely! There are many varieties and many cherry picks to be had
in the Eisenhower dollar Series. In my opinion it is one the most
understudied series of coins in all of Numismatics. There is a small group of guys (Growing Everyday)called the Ike Group http://www.ikegroup.org/ that have been doing in depth research on the Ike's. Rob Ezerman is releasing the first of two
new books at the August 10th Boston ANA Convention.
If you look through some online auctions Teletrade, Heritage
and the like for MS66 and up Ike's. People I discuss this with are amazed and never knew they went for so much. Not just asking prices
but actual dollars paid auctions. And the people that buy them are
happy to get them at those prices because they actually understand
how rare Eisenhower's are in high grades.

Hope this helps

"this may be sacrilege,"

novillero,

To me there is no sacrilege when it comes to Ike's
Everyone's opinion is valid. and there observations
are appreciated.
I completely understand what you are saying about the amount
of varieties. When I first started a couple of years ago
with the Ike varieties. It was really hard to get my head wrapped
around it all. (A lot of Excedrin)especially the amount of minor
Doubled Die Obverses for the 1971-S Which I personally think
are variations in the die state not separate DDO's all together.
Just my opinion.
So I limited myself to the major varieties in the beginning.
to begin with. I was into Morgan and Peace VAM's before I discovered
the Ike's so my interest was mainly in variety collecting to begin
with.
