The SPIRAL COLLECTIBLE IKE VARIETIES - FACTS, PHOTOS and THEORIES

SPIRAL BOUND edition, First Revised Edition, 467 pages. Same book as Paperback and Hardback except Lydston and Chatham "Prototype Strike" Chapter had to be reduced a bit in size. The book's First Section is devoted to the Ike Group's Collectible Ike Varieties. The Second section details much of our research into these Varieties including more general research into the chaos of the early years of the Series design and minting. Those efforts combine to build a rich tapestry against which the interconnected stories of that era at the Mint and of our "Collectible" Ike Varieties become interesting and even entertaining at times. Written by Ike collectors for Ike collectors, the book balances a gentle approach that even novices can enjoy, against explorations into some exciting new concepts, some a bit technical, which should capture the full attention of advanced collectors and professional numismatists.
