Picked up a 71-S brown Ike and a 72-S brown Ike for $9 total at a tiny, remote Florida coin store last week. Change back from my $10 dollar bill was descent 1972 Ike. It took an hour or so to complete the sale but it was well worth the time.

Stopped at 2 banks today looking for halves. The first bank I stopped in last week asking for halves and dollar coins. The teller remembered me and pulled out my first Ike dollar for me! Stopped at one more bank and a teller had 11 in the vault. (5) 1971 (1) 1974 (6) 1976 - including one Type 1 large letters (in great shape), the rest Type 2. Pretty pumped overall.  |

I just recently received $58 in Ikes from a local bank and one was a 1971-D Friendly Eagle Variety. It was worn and corroded, unfortunately. None of the 1972 P were the elusive type 2.

Always fun to just find some Ikes to look through. |

jbuck is going to be both jealous and hate me. Just picked up 80 Ikes from a bank I hit up while visiting my parents. Going to spend them back into circulation - nothing remarkable among them except two that seem to have been gold plated for some reason.

Over the course of 6 months I got maybe about 50 or so. I think a huge problem is once the Fed runs out in your local area, banks are usually unwilling to ask the fed to order more from a different branch. I got lucky and have known these people for many years now and they know since I am a kid lol, they were willing to help me out.
