My guess is a bunch of scruffy dogs. Hope I'm wrong, though..
Does anyone know dealers that buy circ. rolls?
At face, yes. Premium if you have bag quantities.
I'm going to cash in a bunch at my bank.
All comments reflect the opinion of the author, even when irrefutably accurate.
Circ IKEs have little to no premium.
As I sat down to open the four rolls my imagination took me to a place where I longed to be (finding all four rolls, totaling 80 coins, were Morgan and/ Peace dollars
). Alas, it was not to be.
The coins are 80 clad Ikes. There were no 1973 dated coins, a single 1971 coin (P mint), 7 1972 P coins, 17 1972 D coins, 1 1974 P coin, 2 1974 D coins, 11 Bicentennial P coins, 3 Bicentennial D coins, 2 1977 P coins, 23 1977 D coins, 6 1978 P coins and 7 1978 D coins.
The 1972 P coins had no Type 2, 2 Type 1 and 5 Type 3. The P & D Bicentennial coins all had the narrow letter on the reverse (Type 2?).
6 of the coins are in nice enough condition to cause me to set them aside (including the 2 1972 P type 1 coins). The other 74 coins will be going back into circulation a little at a time (tips at coffee shops most likely).
A fun way to spend about 30 minutes
When I worked in a shop my boss paid $1.10 for Ike’s but he had a buyer.
"Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety," --- Benjamin Franklin
I saw a buy on “Coin Dealers Helping Coin Dealers” on Facebook of $1.25 per the other day, though perhaps that dealer was trying to fill an order.
Took a look at Vol 3, of the 6th Ed of the Cherrypicker's Guide and then went through the IKE dollars again. Doing so resulted in me finding 2 circulated 1972 D Peg Leg IKE dollars. I have set them aside, simply because they are worth $2.00 total and they are a conversation piece.
I can show them to other persons and tell them these are the Very Rare, 1972 D Peg Leg IKE dollars; simply to impress them with my hobby knowledge
How many of you are impressed?
Our neighborhood sponsors a yard sale every spring and fall and, believe it or not, Ike dollars have always been a good seller for us, much to my wife’s surprise.
Were is Braddick? He knows more about Ike's than most.
Fun strike.
I'd take the castoffs and tip the server with 'em, next time you eat out. Leave a good sized stack on the table. I did that with the leftover Kennedy halves (several rolls) from my last coin roll search (which was a bust- no silver at all).
Collector since 1976. On the CU forums here since 2001.
Nice pickup. I remember giving a few of those to my ex (was dating at the time) when she kept asking to borrow money from me.
