If they were Morgans the post title would have said AMAZINGLY GINORMOUS SCORE LOL and it would have been in another section not in the modern coin section...lol @jiminez 19 of the 20 are 40% silver...current silver content value of 1971-1976 Eisenhower dollars is $14.76 ....so my 19 are worth $280.44 I got them at face value so thats $260 profit  Edited by Jayman931

19 out of 20 have "S" mintmarks? Weren't these originally uncirculated or proofs? If so, then good score!

Jayman931 - I'm not an Ike dollar guru, so I may be wrong, you should investigate these further. What I recall is that there are blue Ikes and brown Ikes, these were minted in San Francisco and bear the "S" mintmark and are 40% silver. I have only found one of these in circulation, and it had been marked up pretty bad. I hope I'm wrong, it sounds like you were pretty excited! |

from (124) Not Allowed - Auto-Removed .com Here is the astrik- ** The 40% silver version of the Eisenhower dollar was issued as a collectible only, they are generally not found in circulation. The best way to distinguish the two versions is by weight. The copper-nickel version weighs 22.68 grams, the silver Ike dollar weighs 24.59 grams |

Eisenhower Dollars... for the win! Silver or not, still a good find in my book!  |

I count at least 5 that do not have a mint mark and not all "S" mints contained silver.

If you have any 71D's in this batch, check to see if they are Friendly Eagle Varieties and look real close at IN GOD WE TRUST for Doubling.
I also counted 4 1972 P ikes from your pics, make sure what type the Reverse is on these- if they are type 2's there is a nice premium for them!

This is true. You may have die varieties in that batch that could be worth a premium above any possible silver content. This web site will help you identify any. http://ikegroup.org/ |

I have 4- 1972's One is a Type 3 The others are Type 1
One 1976 is a Type-1 and 7 are Type 2
One "Toned" 1971...
The rest are pretty common. I will probably keep the best of each variation and put the rest back into circulation...
