hhbkiddo Pillar of the Community Canada 1248 Posts	Posted 05/18/2009 7:52 pm Hello Augsburger, It is obvious that Austrian or EU customs would have let him bring his coins had he made a proper declaration and provided a list with it. he obviously came to Viennna to sell his coins. Or at least that is what I assume. As you well know, it is not a matter of import duties with coins, but it is a matter of MWST of up to 20% of the selling price.(GST). I am also sure that customs would have done nothing if tyhe guy only had a couple of dozend coins or so. Or if he had Gold coins, as there is on most NO MWST. Never a problem. But as a dealer it is a different story. They want their loot, I. e. mehrwertsteuer... i have taken coins to Europe many times, even several hundred in albums.. and the most problems I had was checking in with cary on luggage. they wanted to see the little round things. But it was fine and they were ok. HHB Report this Post to the Staff
ratman4762 Pillar of the Community United States 2520 Posts	Posted 05/18/2009 8:03 pm 6 or 7 years ago I could easily get some from my bank. I had hopes of picking up a dollar slot machine so I needed to get a bunch. Unfortunately my ex got hold of the bulk and put them into circulation. (I did get a 1973 and a 1976s clad from circulation). Now I ask at the banks and all they ever seem to have are Sacagawea and the presidential. Seems like even the SBA's are harder to find.

Jarred, I was there from about 1 to almost 4. I was probably too focused on the tables to notice you and your hat. Report this Post to the Staff
XavierOfGreen Pillar of the Community United States 2589 Posts	Posted 05/19/2009 01:20 am The bank I used to work at consistantly kept a small but evergrowing stock of eisenhowers until I started working there, then I bought them from the vault and every ike that was deposited there until I left. I managed to put together a set including every business strike except for the 73 p and d. I even found 2 silver clad 1974's. I would suggest going around to several local banks and asking for them. I've found several uncirculated pieces at banks and I'm sure with a little luck you could find the same. -XoG Report this Post to the Staff
om617 New Member United States 24 Posts	Posted 05/19/2009 06:19 am Ikes are out there. It seems like most tellers have no idea what they are and/or have no idea what is hiding in the vault. As when looking for halves, I have the best luck going in at a slow time and talking to the middle-aged tellers. I wound up taking home 99 realy nasty Ikes a few weeks ago; they were in a fire and are fit only for circulation. But last week, found a few in AU/MS just sitting in a teller's coin caddy. The local coin shop has a box of XF/AU Ikes for $1.10 each. Happy hunting, Tom Report this Post to the Staff
