Quote:I got 2 large dollar coins, and 3 halves. One of the halves was a 40%. One of the large dollars was a 1925 Peace dollar... The coin always stayed hid under the bicentennial Eisenhower that it was next to. Of course I favour the Eisenhower dollar.  Nice finds!

SO...being that I wasn't sure what to look for I was only looking for silver. I got a $200 bag from the Casino and found a 1976 S Proof (I believe) YIPPEE! And a few others i'll probably keep like this 1974, was it acid treated? What is causing the light like that? Also if you guys could give me a list of things I definitely need to look for I can do that today as I am planning on dumping them tomorrow at another casino! Thanks.

I think it was just exposed to something in the environment a long time ago and then worn off in circulation.

Update: if you want to call it that  . I haven't had any luck with ordering Ike's from my bank in over 5 months. Today I call my bank girl. She said she will try and order some for next week. Can't wait. Hope I get some soon.

You guys are so lucky... It took me over 20 minutes to look through 19 pages... WOO HOO SILVER!
But let me ask you a question... How DO you get ikes?

Quote: How DO you get ikes? Go to your bank and ask... Chances are they probably won't have any unless someone cashed them in but it never hurts to ask... My bank calls all Kennedy's, dollar coins, and $2 bills "Funny Money" so when I go in, I ask if they have any funny money available...
