FA: Set of Circulation Ikes

OK gang. It had to happen sooner or later. So here's my very first coin
auction on eBay - actually the third thing I've ever listed for sale with
eBay. All three listed today.

Please take a look and feel free to critique. I didn't do pics because I
fooled around with my camera for a while, but couldn't get anything that
wouldn't be deceiving as far a the condition of the coins.

Wish me luck.

I will be watching this with interest. I have a roll set of these coins as you described them.

Are your 1976 ones type one or type two?

Book that I was looking at). So my honest answer is, I do not know. Probably
a mix.

I went through several thousand dollars worth of Ikes and put together only
six complete sets. Most of the coins were in pretty lousy shape. Very baggy,
lots of gouges. Had a number of UNC with big face gouges. I put the sets
together by cherry picking these rolls that I got from an guy in town. He
was getting rid of them and his Kennedy's. Had saved them in the late 1970s.
Frankly most of the stuff he saved was not really worth saving. (I got a
good number of his Kennedys as well). My main interest in putting together
the sets was (1) for me, (1) for my brother-in-law, and a few to offer to
some friends. I'm just selling the few that nobody really wanted to keep.

Art I pretty much did the same thing. I did get a few rolls from someone here on RCC that were BU and I got one roll of BU
from the bank. other than that I just searched roll after roll from the bank and kept the better ones. Some of the dates wont
be solid rolls of EF but they are the best coins out of several thousand I looked thru.

Once you compare a type one with a type two you will see the difference immediately. The place I look is on the O of dollar
it is the best indicator.

Good luck on the auction.

George,

Thanks for the O on dollar diagnostic. I'll dig through some of the
remaining Ikes this coming weekend and see if I can find any differences. It
would be good to have one of each for my collection.
