Hello,
While we're on the subject of the Ike what is the best site that best explains the years and types containing the most valuable Ike $1s with respect to errors, varieties, and silver content etc.
Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
mdpmedia

At any of the banks by me if I ask for those they stare at me as if I was trying to rob the place. One younger teller said "Large dollar coins. What are those?" Shows you how rare they are getting.

And of course I thought of jbuck!  Nice finds and an excellent score on the 1973!  And for the record, they are always a big deal.  |

I also found a guy selling a complete set of ikes on craigslist, I'm going to meet him this week. All the ikes were pulled from mint sets he said, well excluding the 73's. And the set has all of the silver and silver proofs. They are all sitting in a dansco. He's selling the set for $100 so I'm going to go snag that bad boy. Seems like an awesome deal to me. I already have a set of ikes I'm working on but I need like 7 more. I'm going to look through his album and mine to keep the best examples, then sell the rest to get my money back :) and here's the ikes.  |

I always ask when I go to my bank. I'm about 25% on getting some. I usually save them until I get $20, then I spend them at my local shop. The owner has a bucket that he just tosses them into. He calls it his retirement fund. We took a look at it a few weeks ago and estimated that there's probably about 5k of them in there give or take.
I'm thinking of spending a few hours there going through them and pulling out the good ones. I can't tell the difference betweek the 3 types, so I might just go for T1 1976.

The bank where my wife worked (retired recently) was inside an Acme Supermarket. They had collectors in all day long looking for stuff. Some of the tellers would put stuff aside for certain collectors who brought them in Coffee and Donuts, box of Candy, etc. Most were looking for errors in the State Quarters or double dies, etc. Of course the tell tellers kept the silver for themselves. They could pick out a silver coin faster than anyone. I dont have the eyesight to look through a hundred dollars worth of quarters or pennies so I didnt bother, but the wife would save the Susan B. Anthony $1 for me. Only other thing she brought home from the bank (and this will make you cry) was 300 rolls of wheat pennies all sorted, wrapped and marked. Nothing really valuable in them over $10 but they will be going up for sale on ebay shortly. And yes it is against company policy for a teller to keep certain items for themselves? edgman |

100.00? For a complete set of Ikes? Holey Shiitake Mushrooms! That is a killer deal dude. Unless they have all been made pretty with steel wool. Piece by piece you are looking at a good 250 or so if you stick with high grade coins. Post pics when ya get them!

smoke- yeah I bought a complete set of Roosevelt dimes from him last week for $345. It was including proofs and silver proofs and everything was BU. I thought it was a pretty good deal. But then I saw him list these Ikes, the 10 silver ikes alone are melt over $100. Plus the dansco and all of the other coins. It will be a good lookin set for $100. I'm meeting him tomorrow :) |

Nothing silver?
I am sometimes confused. Do they have to have a S mint mark for post-1970 ikes to be silver?
