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?

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?

Not sure what you are talking about.

Yes they have to have an s mint mark to be silver. However not all s mint mark coins are silver. There are some clad proofs and some 40% silver proofs that both have the s mint mark.
