Where are you at, Gazot? Maybe somebody who knows Ikes and is local to you can sit down with ya when you have a free evening and help you cull out what's worth something and what's just worth face.
And contrary to what some on here will say, most ikes are just worth face... I have purchased thousands from banks and searched them, taking out the nicer, higher-end UNC coins and varieties, and dumping the rest.

Where are you at, Gazot? 75 Miles North of NYC on the Hudson River. That's me on the ice out there! Thanks for the rescue rope. Thanks |

For that matter, as another poster pointed out, circulated Ikes go for 1.50 in a lot of dealers bins. But yes, well circulated Ikes are usually no more than face. But again, not what is being discussed here. |

In 1975 the Ikes were not made in 40% silver. The bicentennial clad coins were struck in 1975, giving rise to type I Ikes, and when struck in 76, type II Ikes.
There were however 40% silver Ikes struck in 1976. Actually, they began minting the 40% Silver Bicentennial Eisenhower dollars (proof and uncirculated) in 1975 and all are Variety 1. All Variety 2 Bicentennial Eisenhower dollars are Cu-Ni clad and were not minted until 1976 (although some may have been minted in late 1975, they were only included in the 1976 mint an proof sets). |

OK, I was not sure if they had started minting in 75 on the silvers or not. Like I said, I knew you would fix anything I goofed. ;)

Thanks everyone. I made the mistake of using a term I should have been more careful with. I have a bag of Ikes that are in a canvas bank bag. they appear to be in uncirculated or near uncirculated condition. In that same bag are about twenty rolls of Ikes. I opened one roll and the first coin on top is the one I pictured. I know for certain I have Ikes in Brown sleeve boxes, Blue envelopes and black plastic holders....dozens and dozens. I will bring the "bank" bag home this weeknd and go through them. I will post here what is in the rolls and in the bag. the proof sets and mint sets are obviously what they are.

Ive got a bunch of Ikes to go through as well.
Turned on the coin show briefly tonite and Barry Chapell was going on and on and on about the 1973 S Ike going up in value 50 years from now. Of course he was also selling them at the time...

Gazot, please keep us posted with plenty of pics. Really, you have a heck of a hoard there that would keep me occupied for a while. LOL

When I use to work in a store I had a guy come through my line he payed me in now I can't be to sure if it was in halve dollars or Ike dollars after the total came up to fifty dollars and change. So I had to count to make he gave me the the right amount so I started counting and saying one Mississippi, two Mississippi. I just assume he asked for a bunch of rolls at his bank looking to find silver, but there were no silver Ike dollars in cirulation. Edited by Shatterstar

Thank you for the update. A great resource site to help you on you research is http://www.ikegroup.info. A lot information for IKE collectors.... you may end up having a "discovery piece" in your lot.... your finding alone can be an article of its self. I fall in love with IKE thanks to these guys. Have fun with your new adventure.... and Welcome to the Collecting World. As a reminder, if you ever need to dispose of these IKE, before you take them to the bank, make sure you let people on here know ahead of time.... I'm sure there are a few people on here (like jbuck) who are more than willing to give you at least a dollar bill for any IKE. |
