Dumb IKE question

NJCollector

Are rolls of Eisenhower dollars still available from banks?

My bank only has SBA'a and Sacs.
Maybe if they you can find one of those "unclaimed safe deposit box" auctions?

maybe special order - depends on your bank

they may have some sitting around at a branch office and can get them to your local bank

I do not think the federal reserve will give them - but maybe special order


ask at your bank

Here's a dumb answer: Next time you're at the bank, ask...

I think the answer is generally no, although I have heard of friendly tellers setting them aside for a collector when someone cashes them in.

But regardless... to the best of my knowledge, they were never distributed in rolls, unlike other denominations. So don't expect to find nice coins in a bank-wrapped roll.

Your best shot at a nice roll is to find one a collector put aside back in the 70s from a fresh bag. But they're more expensive than they used to be.

Uncirculated Ikes are rarely encountered in rolls of bank coins. These are generally
lightly circulated or as low as VF/XF. There were at least a few rolls of Ikes wrapped
in the shotgun tubes but I've not seen one in thirty years. The Chicago fed probably
would take Ikes if they were tendered but these circulated coins wholesale at $1.30
each now so they get intercepted long before they get to the fed.

Check the classified ads in CW and NN to obtain circ coins and buy the mint sets for
the unc ones. They can be bought singly from many dealers and finding rolls is not
overly difficult.

Someone tell me how to sell Ikes at 1.30 each. I recently got 95 from two different banks and spent most of them at face value.

None would grade AU or UNC. Lots of people thought they were neat and hadn't seen them in a long time so it was sort of fun to spend them.

Well, I don't think this is a dumb question at all But as others have said you will not find a nice roll of Ikes. I go to my bank and ask this one teller I deal a lot with if she has seen any, I ask her because she knows what they are some of the younger tellers have no idea what an Eisenhower dollar is, and she will save them for me if another customer should cash them in. I did luck out on a roll of all 1972-P that were rolled by a doctor and put aside 30 some years ago. I purchased them from his estate. Outside of that, you'll just have to keep your eyes open
