Hi,

I have quite a few Eisenhower silver dollars. I know there is no silver in them, but are the worth keeping? I just got my 2017 proof set and the silver dollar was replaced by saskatchewan dollar and there was no regular quarter in the set.

Thanks,
Peaches

If they are not all beat up save them. Value around $1.20-1.50. Give them to kids to get them started in this great hobby.

Thanks for the help. They appear to be in pretty good shape. I think I will keep them for a while.

Really? I would sell every one to anyone paying me $1.20 a piece for the ugliest US coin of all time.

I admit I am biased.

Very good advice.

Wow. What a contemptuous, asinine attitude to present here, especially when the OP is someone new. Shame on you. Maybe you should just avoid threads involving the "ugliest US coin of all time."

Let us all take a deep breath, I hope Tryna was just trying to be funny and continue the trend of admitting bias.

Nothing Contemptuous or asinine about anything I said.

Call ten coin shops and/or pawn shops and ask if they will pay you $1.20 each for common date circulated clad Ikes. I bet 9 out of 10 will say they are not buying them.

So, yes, I would sell every one I could get my hands on to someone paying 120% of face.

My post had a playful poke at Jbuck, which, by his response, I think he understood.

I think they are as ugly as I stated I have from the day they released the design.

So where is the contempt? Where is it asinine?

As I suspected.

We are all entitled to our opinions, to collect what we like and ignore the rest.
