Eisenhower Glory! Post Your Ike Circulation And CRH Finds!

Worth every minute of it though, right?

Five Ikes are better than none.

got $1000 bag yesterday. No silver, one proof, nothing special

CeeeMeee,

Do you know what a Type B Ike is? Did you find a friendly eagle? no 1973's?

I could find a gun emoji so I went with this one

I kid I kid.

At least you're getting bags! The 5 banks I have accounts at say they cannot order Ike's and only one bank will order halves for me. Will try going through their corporate offices to see if someone can find the code to order Ike's if their service has them available. Do you know which service delivers the coins to your bank?

I thought other Eisenhower dollar enthusiasts would enjoy this brief "could have been"...

I was at a bank asking for half dollars, and the teller asked me if I was interested in large dollar coins as well. I naturally answered in the affirmative, and she reached under her work station to grab the zippering bank bag that someone had deposited them in.

All of the dollars were regular circulated Eisenhower dollars, except for the three pictured below.

As I was watching over the counter while the teller picked these three dark, blurry coins out of the shadow of the bag (in a noticeably dim teller area too), I was more than a little hopeful of a small silver dollar score until the familiar design elements on the coins became clearer.

I've never seen clad coins that looked quite like this.

They really have! I wonder what happened to them. I decided that the trio are going to be the first Eisenhower dollars I will spend in a long time. I just can't see saving them, especially in this kind of condition.
