Nice pick up! I havent seen any Ike's for a very long time around here. Kennedy's seem to be plentiful though as I still see them in change tills at the supermarket.

But Eisenhowers aren't that rare and aren't worth much above face value are they?

Jam, correct on both for the most part. Not rare, but relatively unseen in circulation. Value really only makes a difference when referring to BU examples and of course the silver clads and the NIFC 73 issue. Always fun to be able to pick up for face, in my opinion.

Im just saying to find them at all...regardless of where...face value is nice. Yes, I would expect any coin or currency that is obtained from a bank to be got at face value, but when is the last time you found ikes at any bank? I worked at a bank back in college for about 3 years, and only saw ikes come in twice.

"But Eisenhowers aren't that rare and aren't worth much above face value are they?"
Well the actual answer to that question is both yes and no.
Eisenhower's in normal condition xf to au are available
by the ton in every coin shop at a little above face.
Normally $1.25 a piece but in the last couple of years
I have noticed that price slowly rising.
Eisenhower's in the higher grades are quite difficult to find
and can get quite expensive. And then there are the varieties.
I do not even know where to begin with those. The Eisenhower
Dollar Series has more major varieties than any series I
ever encountered. Especially for such a short series.
1971-1978.

It's hard to find Ike's around here. I've only found one so far. Only been collecting for a few months.
