When I was a kid, we used to go over to grandma's house. She worked at a coffee shop. Just before we left each visit, she would pull a bowl from the cupboard which contained all of her "weird coins" from customers. We would gather around the table and she would pass them out to my brothers and I. I remember lots of Franklins and Ikes. Unfortunately, we found too much joy spending those coins. These three are the only survivors which I saved all these years.   Edited by tgauchsin

So this summer, me and my grandfather were looking through the contents of his safe. In the safe, he had stored five Ikes that were a tad beat up and had become slightly corroded. They stayed out of the safe when we put everything back in. After forcibly swapping them for dollar bills  and spending the Ikes, here was my christmas present to Grandpa:  Five better Ikes for his tribute to his mother in 2x2 and Ziploc bag protection! He loved them, and put them in the safe this afternoon.  Edited by argentum

Well, my bank just happened to have 2 rolls of Ike's and offered them to me when I asked for half dollars. Among the many clashes and the DDR I also got these 2 1973 (one P, one D).     |
