I believe most were 1977-D and some 223,000 dollars were in this hoard. This is a nice NGC MS-65 graded one, and I only spent $2.00 for it! I have several Ikes in my collection, but I think this one will go in my American type set Outstanding!

NumisEd Pillar of the Community United States 5193 Posts	Posted 09/12/2022 11:09 am I don't really understand why anyone would hoard 223,000 cupronickel Ike dollars. Bad investment if you ask me. Report this Post to the Staff
jbuck Moderator United States 190660 Posts	Posted 09/12/2022 4:40 pm Might have been out of a peculiar compulsion without any logical reasoning. They bought them and kept them in the Fed vault. I doubt they ever laid eyes on them. https://thomasnumismatics.com/en/bl...ky-treasure/ Coin Collector Since 1978 Avatar Old Avatar 7070 Eisenhower Australia Canada World CCF Members on eBay CCF eBay Search Engine Report this Post to the Staff
Nells250 Pillar of the Community United States 787 Posts	Posted 12/23/2022 7:31 pm By boyfriend found a bag of bicentennial "stuff" at his house while cleaning out his parent's room. There are a bunch of coins in there. I'm pretty sure his grandmother, who worked at a bank in Concord MA, put all of the things aside, and as far as 1975-6 coins, as soon as she saw them, so they shouldn't have much wear. I took this one home to look at. Anyone have an idea what happened to Ike's chin? Report this Post to the Staff

jbuck Moderator United States 190660 Posts	Posted 12/24/2022 11:34 pm Nice find! Yes,this Ike took one on the chin from one of his brethren. It happens more than should have been allowed.

Nells250 Pillar of the Community United States 787 Posts	Posted 12/25/2022 5:50 pm Quote: 40% Silver! Nice! Oddly enough, so far every Ike in that goodie bag are "S" coins! I assume that mark effects value quite a bit? I should take a closer look and see if any of the others are nice enough to share here... Are those 1975-6 coins worth getting graded at all? Just curious, as they don't even belong to me (I liberated the one I shared here but will probably give it back to him). Report this Post to the Staff

jbuck Moderator United States 190660 Posts	Posted 12/27/2022 2:22 pm Quote: Are those 1975-6 coins worth getting graded at all? In my opinion, no. As indicated, the marks will keep the grade down. Also important is that I paid considerably less for the second-hand slabbed Ikes in my PCGS set than if I had bought the coins and sent them in for grading myself. Quote: My Eisenhower Presidential dollar proof. Very nice!

HumblePie Pillar of the Community United States 1217 Posts	Posted 12/27/2022 7:26 pm 1974 S Eisenhower dollar - Blue Pack. I thought this Ike was a nice one from what I could see through the plastic. I debated on taking it out of the package and putting it in a close fit holder. Report this Post to the Staff

Quote: I thought this Ike was a nice one from what I could see through the plastic. Indeed. Quote: I debated on taking it out of the package and putting it in a close fit holder. It is certainly worth considering. Coin Collector Since 1978 Avatar Old Avatar 7070 Eisenhower Australia Canada World CCF Members on eBay CCF eBay Search Engine Report this Post to the Staff
Nells250 Pillar of the Community United States 787 Posts	Posted 12/28/2022 5:44 pm Let me clarify: should I search through the bag of Ikes and find one UNMARKED and possibly get it graded? Didn't mean the "take it on the chin" coin I shared ;-) Report this Post to the Staff
