I spend alot of time getting hold of Ike dollars and half dollars.
I have yet to find a proof. But today my luck chnged, I thought.
I bought about 15 IKEs from a bank and the last one I checked was shiny and had an "S" mintmark. I was really happy. Unfortunaltely when I went over the coin I saw that the top had a hole drilled into it. Maybe next time.

For those of us who usually aren't "lucky", like you and I, we just have to earn those coin finds by just good old fashioned hard work and consistency. Meaning : Just keep at it and you WILL be rewarded with some good finds eventually.....

I've looked through $3,500.00 worth of Halves before, and not found one single silver.....one sinle Proof.....NOTHING !!
So, I took a long break for a few months......the very next box... I had all kinds of scores ! ....

Eaglefoot I agree. Time and persistance will pay off. I did find a proof dime the other day so I was happy about that. I come across silver, buffalos and stuff too. The Ikes though. I never get anything good with the IKEs. I will keep trying. I don't mind I enjoy the hunt.
