Indian1 Pillar of the Community United States 3640 Posts	Posted 03/16/2010 5:20 pm I picked up a bag of 150 ikes today at the bank. Mostly Unc's. They are plentiful around here and never really looked closely at them before. I found one decent Unc. 72-P type 2 with march obv. It has bag marks etc. but ? I know that one has a slight premium, but are the 72-P type 3 and or the 76 type 1 worth the bother ? Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

jbuck Moderator United States 187702 Posts	Posted 03/16/2010 5:59 pm All Eisenhower dollars are worth the bother! But I admit, I am biased. The 1972-P Type 2 is definitely a nice find!

numismo Rest in Peace United States 3039 Posts	Posted 03/16/2010 6:19 pm Indian, where do you live? I've gotten only 15 Ikes in 5 years from my local banks (south FL). Must be nice to get 150 at one time. Hope you make lots of finds. Report this Post to the Staff
jokingjoker Pillar of the Community United States 2150 Posts	Posted 03/16/2010 6:45 pm I bought $200 at face from my bank earlier last year. Ended up spending them at face in the months that followed. Then went to a show and one dealer there told me he will buy all Ike's a $1.50 each.

I try and get my hands on every Ike I see. The only way I would spend my Ike's is if I had to feed my kids. Report this Post to the Staff
Indian1 Pillar of the Community United States 3640 Posts	Posted 03/16/2010 10:30 pm I live in No. Massachusetts. Never really got into them until I started checking out a few varieties. I just figured they were abundant all over. I used to just pick through them for silver. Have 3 nice BU 72-S's Was looking for halfs and dimes today and the teller offered me these. I was not even going to bother with them I as used to just pick them up and then sell them a few at a time at my local flea market seasonal table for $1.25. A lot of kids today never even saw one before so they get a kick out of them. NRC ? (73/73-D) Any info on the other questions I raised ? Just wanted to know what to look for.

patrick Pillar of the Community United States 560 Posts	Posted 03/16/2010 10:35 pm I think they're worth it. I wish that they were as plentiful around here (northern California). Here are some links to older discussion on Ike varieties. I hope they're useful. http://www.coincommunity.com/forum/...30232#235486 http://www.coincommunity.com/forum/...PIC_ID=24510 Good luck!

Indian1 Pillar of the Community United States 3640 Posts	Posted 03/16/2010 11:53 pm Thanks for the info. Worth looking for. I also did find one 72-P Type 3 May of dumped a few keys/semis over the years though. Oh well ! Thought I had 150 today but it was 146 ea. Anyone want the other 144 ea. before I dump them at the bank ? Will keep two for now. Maybe sell later. Report this Post to the Staff
