I could have been really evil and waited until tomorrow, but I couldn't do that to you guys. Here we go: They are all Eisenhower dollars. 71-D x2 72 x2 72-D x8 74 74-D x5 76 x13 (all var. 2) 76-D x9 (one var. 1) 77-D x5 78 x7 78-D x8 Three of them filled empty places in my album. Here's a picture of them all:  Here's the 1976-D variety 1.  Oh, does anyone have a link to a good website of Eisenhower varieties? Thanks! This was a fun evening. Now I'm off to start searching through a box of cents. |

I knew a coin dealer who would pay me $1.10 for each eisenhower, not much of a premium but if you can find someone to give you something extra you can make a few bucks for gas money at least.

Cool find. I like scoring Eisenhowers even though I don't know anything about varieties. I got a bagful of these sitting there until I get motivated to organize em.

Great job! I know a dealer who sells Ikes for a dollar each. This was about a year ago and said he has a bunch but now thinking about it they might not be to bad to pick up because if not on ebay someone on here might want them and I could let them go for a small tad over face. |

Dont forget to factor in whatever sales tax you state may charge before trying to flip them. Now if you could get him to make a 1 for 1 swap for some paper......

Yes spruc. He just traded me some of them for dollar bills. Since I'm a YN he said he does the same to all the over YNs interested. I will have to see where I put his card if I still have it or not. I do remeber getting angry at him though and refusing to go back so I'm still unsure.

Congrats on a sweet deal! I was never a YN, but I have high hopes for my daughter!

i just pulled 130 of them out at three different banks the other day. One teller said that I made her day by buying all the halves and Ikes from her. I went through them all (1972 varII, none found) so I kept 80 dollars and 20 dollars is up in Oxford with me and I threw the other 30 at random banks in the Kenwood area (Kenwood Ohio, PNC bank).

What really annoys me is that I cant find Large Dollar coin wrappers anymore. I ran out the other day.

Personally I never get rid of any Ike's that I get ahold
of any more. The research on this series is just starting to get
serious in the last few years. And there are discoveries of
new varieties being made all the time.
And I know as soon as I sell or use some as tips
as I used to do sometimes. A discovery of a variety
will be made in the year and mint mark that I got rid of.
Yours look to be in VERY good shape. I would think about
it a little before offing them
Just My Humble Opinion
