So I went to the bank to make the deposit for work. As I walk in, I see the head teller giving a guy a number of rolls of halves. When left I looked at her with a pouty face and said "A------ did you give him all your halves?" She said, I am sorry, I forgot! I had talked to her before about saving any halves for me. I was just harassing her in a friendly way. I told her I was only goofing. She said, well I DO have gold dollars. I told her I was not really into those and she comes back with, I do have some large dollars, how many do you want? Oh, ALL OF THEM! LOL. This is what she brought out for me...  2 entire rolls! 40 Ikes in one shot!Woohoo! As I said, that is a personal best. Out of the 72s, 2 were Type 3, the other 5 were Type 1. One Type 1 76 and 5 Type 2. 14 were 78s, all of which are AU or better, many of them being toners. As are the 74s. All in all, pretty darn good.  Edited by smokeriderdon

I don't know, I just could never get into the Ike's. I tried collecting them for a while, but ended up just depositing the 100 or so that I collected back at the bank

I spent the Ike that I got from the banks to help circulation. Young people are almost always surprised to get the big dollar coin and learn that it is a real currency.

Very nice. I just get funny looks when I ask for large dollars at the bank.

I got one Friday, a 71 cladder she had saved for me. I did show her my carry ASE, said she'd never seen one before. Hope I didn't shoot myself in the foot doing that. Rick |

Sometimes I ask for Ikes with no luck. I once was surprised when a teller said she had $89 worth in the vault. I purchased them, they all were well circulated with no silver. That was year ago. Last week a teller said she had $100 worth she rolled into a plastic bag like a roll of sausage. I took them and found 40 MS coins of various dates.
Real beauties!
I believe this is a hoarded coin. But a sleeper.
