Searching roll after roll and coin after coin has produced two coins I could never afford graded.
Hello collectors. I am a great fan of the Ike dollar, when in high grades I should say. The Ike dollar has been known as an ugly coin. With the number of knicks, scratches and poor strikes I would agree but, when I look at a high grade Ike it does begin to change my opinion.
I started collecting the Ike dollar when the mint started making the S.B.A. dollar, it was also the same time I started c
They had to do it.
