Product Description
by Rob Ezerman (Author)
PAPERBACK, Revised First Edition. Same core content as the First Edition but with many minor corrections. The First Section presents our top 21 Collectible Ike Varieties (our DIVA's). The Second Section has the core of the Ike Group's research: highlights include a photo copy of Herb Hick's amazing 1974 article on the three 71-72 reverses known at that time; a photo copy of Del Romine's only published article on Die States; a pithy essay by Sam Petry whom many of you will recognize from the PCGS US Coin Forum; a sharp essay by Andy on minting metallurgy; photo copies of two sets of amazing US Mint Ike hub and die records unearthed by Roger Burdette; and several chapters that gently explore some interesting technical issues. A big book (8X11, 501 pages), a valuable resource for modern coin collectors and essential for Ike collectors interested in the why's and how's of the turbulent first few years of the Series. Received an "EXTRAORDINARY MERIT" award from the Numismatic Literary Guild.
