I have a bunch of ikes someone gave me I kept one of each for a album but I now have several that I dont need I noticed when ever I am in any of the LCS. And people bring them in they say just spend them. But when I looked up them for melt value says for example 20 of them or a roll.

A roll of Ike dollars has 20 coins and is valued at $126.43 when silver is at $19.99 / ounce.

What should I accept as fair market value if I want to trade them with dealer.

I also notice on ebay I see several auctions under melt like the bi-centennial ikes 1976

FIVE 1976 BI-CENTENNIAL EISENHOWER Ike dollars ONE TYPE-1 FOUR TYPE-2 UNGRADED

sell for like $10 for 5 which is way less then melt?

So I am confused? are they worth face or melt? or a hybrid amount?

The ones your LCS is talking about is the clad ones, not the silver.

I assure you they wouldnt tell everyone to spend the silver ones.

You need to educate yourself on coins before you decide to sell or buy.

You have the internet at your fingertips and you can research which ones are silver and which ones are clad.

Very, very few Ikes have silver. Only the ones issued in special sets and collector releases. For the standard Ike's, $2-5 is pretty standard full retail at a coin shop depending on condition.

Some Ike proofs and uncirculated coins were 40% silver. It was confusing how the mint did proof and silver Ikes, and understandably many collectors have trouble keeping it all straight.

Brown Box Ike proofs and Blue Pack Ike's ('71-'74) were 40% silver. There were also proof and uncirculated 40% coins in 1976. Trouble is, both clad and silver proofs have the "S" mintmark, so this can be a major source of confusion for collectors.
