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. Art |

Art 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? -- George D Phoenix, AZ AAA, AARP, ANA, NRA, RCC ?+1, PIA, PIAAZ, GATF 85006-3032-18-4 The reward for a good deed is to have done it.

Art O'Connell wrote: I went through hundreds of 76 Ikes -- literally hundreds and never found one that I would say was a TI or TII. (At least from the pics in the Red 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 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 D Phoenix, AZ AAA, AARP, ANA, NRA, RCC ?+1, PIA, PIAAZ, GATF 85006-3032-18-4 The reward for a good deed is to have done it. Please use this address to mail me.

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.
