Not a big deal but I love getting these from the bank. Deposited some money today and saw 26 ikes so I decided to rescue them. And of course I thought of jbuck!
Here's what I got:
1971 (x2)
1971 d (x2)
1972 d
1973
1974 d
1976 type 2 (x3)
1976 d type 1 (x5)
1976 d type 2 (x6)
1977 d (x4)
1978
a few of the coins actually look real good. Like the 1973 that I was surprised to see, as well as a few bicentennials.
by the way, which type is more common, type 1 or 2?

Lucky you! My bank never has them, and they act like
I'm crazy when I ask for them. The '73 is an interesting find given that it was only avaliable in mint sets.

Yeah I was surprised with the 1973 as well. In fact, the last time I bought ikes they had 3 on hand. all 3 were 1973's.

NFN Murrellington, but if you have a good relationship with any of the tellers, you can ask them to hold any Ikes or even Kennedys for you, that they receive from other customers. Most are willing to do that for a customer they know is a collector.

Hello,
While we're on the subject of the Ike what is the best site that best explains the years and types containing the most valuable Ike $1s with respect to errors, varieties, and silver content etc.
Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
mdpmedia

At any of the banks by me if I ask for those they stare at me as if I was trying to rob the place. One younger teller said "Large dollar coins. What are those?" Shows you how rare they are getting.

I also found a guy selling a complete set of ikes on craigslist, I'm going to meet him this week. All the ikes were pulled from mint sets he said, well excluding the 73's. And the set has all of the silver and silver proofs. They are all sitting in a dansco. He's selling the set for $100 so I'm going to go snag that bad boy. Seems like an awesome deal to me. I already have a set of ikes I'm working on but I need like 7 more. I'm going to look through his album and mine to keep the best examples, then sell the rest to get my money back :) and here's the ikes.  |

I always ask when I go to my bank. I'm about 25% on getting some. I usually save them until I get $20, then I spend them at my local shop. The owner has a bucket that he just tosses them into. He calls it his retirement fund. We took a look at it a few weeks ago and estimated that there's probably about 5k of them in there give or take.
I'm thinking of spending a few hours there going through them and pulling out the good ones. I can't tell the difference betweek the 3 types, so I might just go for T1 1976.
