They also just bought $2 BILLION worth of coins from someplace. They needed to buy a new forklift just to lift them. Quote:
Littleton does not sale much of anything at a reasonable price True their prices are way out there but in their defense they do employ around 300 people and give A LOT to the community. |

Where's jbuck on this one? Sorry I am late, I have been traveling around the last few days.  I would be funny if these were from Philadelphia, not Denver, and all dated 1972. It would be funnier if they were all 1972 Variety 2 Eisenhower dollars. There is your price plummet.  |

I think I'd like it more if this was a hoard of 1804 Dollars and 1913 V nickels. |

Hmmm...my bank teller just texted me that she has $100 Dollars in Ikes....I never have collected them...would it be worth going through them?

would it be worth going through them? If you can get them at face value, why not? You likely won't find anything special, but even common circulated Ikes sell on ebay for around $1.25-1.50 these days. |

This was in the newspaper around here, I live about 2 hours from where that vault was, in Helena.

I love Ike's and I don't care what other collectors think. Collect what you like I say. I'm excited about this find! I think that it would be cool if at least some of the coins were slabbed and labeled "Big Sky Hoard". I'd buy one....or two......or three. |

I do agree these should be listed as a hoard. Don't care if is just labeled on Littleton's container or not. There is always something special about owning a piece of a large hoard.

You can bet Littleton will know how to promote them.

I am sure quite a few high grade Ikes will come out of this. Its not like the bags were tossed around every other month. This is the same type of thing as the GSA Morgans. Dumped, sat there forgotten about.
My problem is that now I am going to have buy something from Littleton.

My mother-in-law buys stuff regularly from Littleton. I think their prices are too high but they have nice stuff. I have looked at their catalogs more than once. With this hoard of Ikes, I will have to check these out. But if the price is too high, I will still pass. But I will bet that Littleton's will sell all of these over time and make a nice profit on them also. Nothing wrong with that.

I'm sure the graders examining the coins will have some good finds...what they do with the true possible MS67 is unknown...if they label them as such, I would be wary(with their own label)..at this point, the only TPG I trust to accurately grade an Ike dollar is Anacs.... That said, what will they do with all of the Doubled Dies, Peg legs and Clashed Ikes? The Denver Mint is known for most of the problem Ikes collector's like me hunt for... Prices will most likely be more than I'd pay...I'd rather just find my own at my usual price from a dealer I use monthly..$1.08 per Ike, in bulk..hes nice enough to throw in a roll of EF/AU with every 100 I buy, to sweeten the load...nothing too major, but, it's a steady supply. |

Ha, I had not seen the article, so I thank you for reposting, though the newspaper article link is now broken because it is outdated. the Ike hoard was "found" in my hometown, which made me chuckle. I am certain I know the name of the guy who hoarded the Ikes...Small town.

These coins had to come from Helena resident and well-known coin dealer Wayne Miller.

What makes the coins "rare"? Because the teenagers at Burger King have never seen them before and because Littleton says so in their over-brandished advertisements. |
