Circulated ones are only worth face value, and will continue to be that way for the foreseeable furture.
Retired dealer and avid collector of U.S. type coins, 19th century presidential campaign medalets and selected medals. In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?
We carry them and so do many others - I would first check out the PCGS Price Guide then ebay and look for eye appeal. Does the coin have haze or milk spots?
Any condition? Run an ad on the BST board and offer $1.20 each and see how many you are offered. You can do the same with Numismatic News free ads. Try coin shops or coin shows, circs. sell for barely over face.
Circ Ikes wholesale at $1.20. This is low enough that postage eats up much of the premium to face, so if you find them physically you can usually get a discount to whole- sale. You'll have no luck at the fed or it's branches, but most banks will have a few on occasion. These may be earmarked to specific customers in most cases.
You may find some nice varieties but 40% silver Denvers are a fluke.
It's interesting to note that all the '74 to '78 uncs traded at this same price until 1998 and now some go as high as $4.25!
First of all welcome. Second, let us know how you like your Ikes (shaken or stirred). Sorry, it is Friday, so I wanted to start the bad humor.
Seriously, are you looking for slabbed or raw, UNC or circulated (I know, decisions, decisions). These boards are a good place (BS&T) as is eBay. Cladking has a good point in that when I sell circulated Ikes individually, shipping takes up about half the overall price, so you may want to consider buying a few together.
Good luck with your search and keep asking as quite a few folks on these boards may be able to help you.
Try all the banks in your area. Many of the banks here get Ikes in all the time. They don't go through the coin counters so they end up stored in the safe. All you need to do is ask!
It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!
