Just wondering real quick..... What is the weight and percentages of Copper and Nickel in an Eisenhower dollar ? And why aren't all of the "copper hunters" seeking out this Ike coin ? Edited by eaglefoot

my guesses only is b/c the copper is not worth more than the dollar you can spend it at

There are 0.0458 pounds of copper and 0.0042 pounds of nickel in $1.00 face value of Eisenhower
Total melt value is $0.19.

the only cu/ni coin worth seeking out is the nickel only b/c its worth more than face
There are 0.1653 pounds of copper and 0.0551 pounds of nickel in $1.00 face value of nickel
Total melt value is $1.04.

Tks....suspected that.....the costs outweighing the gains....
But with the copper hoarders going crazy, I was just curious.
