Owner Comments:

Pop 727(2*)/1 With only 1 PF70UC, chances of adding that to my set is a pretty slim chance. Only 2 STARs in PF69UC. I will keep a watch out for that. This is the last year of the Eisenhower Dollar coins. Ike's last year in office was 1960. Almost went out with a bang though... The infamous U2 incident where an American pilot was shot down over Russian territory, presumably on a spy mission. The US and Russia almost went to war over the incident. November saw JFK winning the presidential bid over then Vice-President Richard Nixon.

I hope you have enjoyed the history lesson I have presented here in my Ike set. I would welcome any suggestions you may offer.
