1974-S U.S. Mint Sealed Silver Eisnehower Dollar NGC MS 65

1971-S U.S. Mint Sealed Brown Ike that I picked up from kryptonitecomics. I couldn't get the right picture with the lighting that I'm using so I'm using some of his images. Thanks Kryptonitecomics such a nice coin.

Last but not least I had to get this book, every time I tried to get the 2nd version it either sold out or I got out bidded. Authoritative Reference on Eisenhower Dollar version 1. It may not be the latest version but it'll do for now.

Picked up a couple newps from the PNNA show last week and I just didn't have time to post until today.

1960 25c Unc. Details, Obv. Improperly Cleaned.

1972 Eisenhower dollar in Numimastic Weekly News 20th anniversary post card

So I went to the PNNA coin show today and picked up a find of a lifetime for me. I've been searching for this one particular coin for awhile now and I cannot believe that I found it and it's mine.?

It's been awhile since my last post, some really nice additions guys. I've been really busy with life in the past month. With a work injury to adding a new addition to my family, I haven't had time to post my newest additions. I'm a proud first time father of a healthy baby boy, he will be four weeks old as of Monday.

So I wanted to share my newps that I had aquired within the past month. As everyone here knows my favorite coin that I collect is the ike dollars. I wanted to thank greattoner for one of my newps that I recieved in the mail a few weeks ago.

1976-D Eisenhower Dollar Type 2 NGC MS 65 Big Sky Hoard

1977-D Eisenhower Dollar NGC MS 65 Big Sky Hoard

It's always nice to see other members newps. So time for me to show off some of my newps. But before I get to the Ike's, I wanted to show off a couple of Roosevelt dimes that I got in change from Taco Bell today. The first dime, 1948-S Silver and a more modern 1990. I knew right away once the clerk handed me my change that one of the coins had that distinctive silver sound. I glanced down and sure enough I saw the silver dime stand out among the rest of the change. I asked for another dollar in dimes hoping to score again. No more silver but I had spotted something out of the ordinary. After I got home I do my ritual of checking my change. That's when I spotted something different with the 1990 dime. At first glance it looked like hell and then looking closer to it, the obverse looked like a part of a skull. Kinda like the 1oz. zombie copper that's floating around on the internet today. The reverse looks normal and once on its side to me it looked like an Oreo cookie. I know it's made of copper-nickel clad but what makes it strange and I'm not sure if there are others like it. You can see that obverse is very thin and the reverse is a little thicker. The copper is sunken and that's what I think makes it look like an Oreo cookie.

If anyone can tell me what was the cause of this or if it's normal let me know.

Now 2 more Ike's I added to my collection along with 2 presidential dollars.

2007-S George Washington NGC PF 70 Ultra Cameo

2007-S James Madison NGC PF 70 Ultra Cameo

The 1974-S MINT SEALED MS 67 must have been difficult to come by

Not at all. I've had my eye on these coins for past month. When the seller decided to auction them off I had saved up enough for his buy it now price and tried to purchase them outright. Well I went to try to buy it now someone bidded on them. So I maxed my bid as the buy it now price and I ended up getting them for less, but I would have given the seller what he was asking for if he would have waited another couple of days. So I wanted to say thanks to coinsource2 for the three blue Ike's. They look great.

Now time for a couple more Ike additions.

1971-S Silver Eisenhower $1 "Brown Ike" U.S. Mint sealed NGC Certified PF 68* Cameo.

When I added this coin to my first registry set. I figured I would end up with a higher score because of the PF 68* Cameo, but it had a lower score than the PF 68 Ultra Cameo that I already have. So I added it to one of my other registry sets instead.

1971-S Silver Eisenhower $1 "Blue Ike" U.S. Mint Sealed NGC Certified MS 65

you're right on my heels, wygold

L.O.L., I was just thinking about that myself.

Some more Ike's I picked up.

All three of the Blue Ike's are U.S. Mint Sealed & NGC certified.

1972-S Silver Eisenhower $1 "Blue Ike" MS 66

1973-S Silver Eisenhower $1 "Blue Ike" MS 64

1974-S Silver Eisenhower $1 "Blue Ike" MS 67+

 

 

another rival mint sealed ike set?

I guess so. I got my eye on a 1971-S FS-103 DDO NGC PF 69*. I'm just debating wether or not I can spend what the seller wants for it. That's a mortgage payment for me.

Another new purchase I wanted to share.

1978 Houston, TX. ANA Convention Souvenir Set.

"Ike & L.B.J." Set.

I'm not sure but the seller I got this set from says it's very scarce.

i love the strike on that 73 s ike, nice score

Thanks, I thought about sending it in the NGC but I don't think it's worth it. So it ended up in my Dansco Eisenhower w/ proofs album.

Well it's been a few weeks since my last post. I thought I wanted to update some newps that I just won lately. But before I get to that, I tried my luck a HA.com auctions for a 1973-S PF 69 Brown Ike NGC cert. but was out bidded of 99.88 + BP. More than I wanted to spend. Oh well maybe next time.

My first PCGS coin. I mainly collect the NGC slabbed coins and I couldn't resist on getting this coin. 1986-S Statue of Liberty Commemorative Half Dollar PR69 DCAM.

1973-S Clad Proof Set

I also picked this up @ the same coin shop for $5 and of course I got it only for the Eisenhower Dollar

I was reluctant to show this coin due to the TPG which I can't find any info on but decided to show anyways. Besides I got this coin at a killer price of a $1.83.

1982-D George Washington commemorative Half Dollar. It says it's a MS 65?

This is the eBay sellers photos, once in hand I'll post a picture.

Nice additions Wygold!

 

Ah, the stalkers are still at it! Damn.. I had a problem with one earlier this year, but I got him off my tail finally find my thread about that issue in the numismatic general forum, there were some good suggestions and solid advice on how to avoid being followed and outbid all the time.

 

@ jpcienkus, I updated the 90-VDB thread over there, sorry it took so long!

Thanks yonico. I did find you thread last night and some interesting advices. Don't think I will use a snipe just yet. I'm weary about using their services and not some much the cost but if a server goes down or doesn't get a bid in due to some technical error on either ends and I don't get the coin I'm after. That's the down side of sniping, at least from what others have said.

Although I've been putting coins in my watch list and waited until the very last minute to bid on. So far it has worked........ I also looked to see if the person left feedbacks and nothing yet. I just hope that's the last time I see the stalker.

Great additions wygold! I have a couple brown box Ike's. Yes, they typically go for more than NGC list price. I was able to get a '71 Proof 69 * last year.

 

Yonico reported having a stalker earlier this year too. That's just nuts. Who in their right mind is going to follow someone around on eBay...what's this world coming to?

Thanks jcpienkus, I've got my eye on a '74 NGC cert brown Ike @ a local shop. Trying to see which coins I want to let go for trade, if you know what I mean.

I had to play catch up here. Nice BT Washington, and a really nice toned Eisenhower. I've been busy and I tell ya, trying to get some nice coins thru eBay has proven really difficult. I was bidding on a NGC certified 1971-S Eisenhower Silver "Brown Ike" Proof 69 Ultra Cameo and was out bided past my budget would allow. I just can't say how quick the price went for the coin. It ended close to $100.00 and NGC valued for $40.00. It would have been a nice addition to my registry set, but I guess it became such a bidding war that someone wanted it really bad at what ever cost. Then I tried bidding on some other Eisenhower coins and notice someone else was following me around on eBay out bidding me on everything I was bidding on in different sellers auctions. He/She is really starting to irritate the hell out of me. So I started bidding on not just Eisenhower Dollars but on presidential dollars, Washington quarters, Lincoln cents, and even coin supplies. Sort of weird and I'm not sure if this person was upset that I out bid him on an 1980 SBA set at the last second. That's when I noticed this person started stalking me ever since. Oh well, I got some newps to share with everyone.
