"An Abundance of Ike dollars" What is a topic title that will get jbuck's attention, Alex.  Quote: Has anyone here been experiencing at the banks and CU's the abundance of Ike dollars that are available? No. Really!? Where?  |

Not sure of an abundance but they do come up almost once a month at the banks I visit!

Would like to start a set myself, if these are available at the bank I'd like to change for face value, chances of getting silver is little or none.

I stopped in to a branch the other day (Friday), and asked if they had any dollar coins. The teller's eyes lit up, and she said "I have 100 of the big ones, do you want them? I've had them for over a year." I gladly took them off her hands. My regular branch though, hasn't had more then a couple in the last 6 months.

I got a roll from the bank a while back just to have a few, but haven't asked lately. No silver, just the D stamped one I sent to a member.

@ Jbuck, I have 3 banks here that Tellers have around $ 20 to $ 30.00 worth and one CU where they have over $ 1,100.00 worth. No doubt someone's dump.
It is crazy the amount I see in my neck of the woods at the moment.

If anyone is in need of a particular date I do not mind checking the Ike's I am selling back not to mention any new Ike's I come across. Just let me know.

If I had accounts with all 32 different banks/credit unions in my town, then I may find one or two a month. Most won't even sell you $1 of cents w/o account, stinks. Then, my really great, nice teller had to go on pregnancy leave and not come back  , only to be replaced by "Frau Brucher" (horse whinny!) Who checks EVERYTHING for herself and other previously favored clients. No more red seals, Ike's, silvers or foreign.  . And trying to cultivate relationships with new tellers seems to bring awkward stares from those young men...  ...guess I'll just have to open a few more accounts, my other bank stopped accepting CRH dumps after I broke their cheap *** machine...twice, so, kind of stuck at the moment.  |
