I hope you decide to do this set, I really enjoyed completing mine. For Dansco the the 7186 is with out proofs 8176 with proofs B.U. 40% coins are 40% silver brilliant uncirculated ( for Ike dollar, they are "S" mint coins) The "S" mint proofs can be 40% silver or CU clad. I think the whole set can be done for $200 or less, depending on grade and how good of deal you get on the coins. That is for a BU and proof set 8176. On the 8176 there are four empty slots, how you fill or not fill these can add to the price of the set. I put a proof and UNC 1990 commemorative dollar in two of the empty slots and two coins reverse side up in the other two slots. |

To add to what Goldrush said: '71-'74 proofs, known as "Brown Ikes" were 40% Silver. '71-'74 B.U., known as "Blue Ikes" were 40% Silver. The names "Brown" and "Blue" were reference to the color of the mint packaging. There were also 40% Silver proofs and B.U. coins produced for 1976. S-marked Cu-Ni proofs began production in '73. All Ikes are avaliable in mint sets except '71 and '72 P&D. Those had to pulled from circulation. '73 P&D were only avaliable in mint sets. Assembling a nice set of Ikes will cost more like $300.00. Finding them in good grades is tough. The Ike dollar is a cool set to put together. Have fun with it! |

If you haven't bought it yet, think about buying it here. http://www.valleycoin.com/product_i...ducts_id=765With shipping it equals about the same, but if you need anything else the shipping pays for itself. Also, you are guaranteed a new album in plastic. Have fun with your IKE set, I'm still working on mine. Very fun. |

valleycoin charges like $5 for shipping. unless I get more than 1 album I dont think its worth it. I saved money once on that site when I bought 4 albums.... but single albums I think I get cheaper on ebay. |

Wizard Coin Supply has them listed at $16.89 plus shipping. I just ordered this plus 9 more Danscos from there and it was top notch!

I know they have $9.95 flat rate shipping on orders over $50 so it might be better to order more that just this one album.

I am working on this one as well. And definately more like 300 plus to complete the album with all coins being UNC and proof. I just cant see putting circulated coins next to the proofs.
I need 10 more coins to finish it off.

Anyone that knows me could easily guess that this is my favourite Dansco album. It is also the first one that I completed. You will enjoy this!  |
