Teletrade Catagories...Ike's listed with SILVER Dollars.....WHY?????



Probably only an issue to the "Modern" collectors, but one thing about Teletrade that has always bugged me is that they list Eisenhower dollars with Morgan's and Peace dollars.

They have a separate category for Susan B. Anthony's, a separate category for Sacagawea's, and even a separate category for "Signature Series Sacagawea's (when they are for sale), but they refuse to separate the Modern Eisenhower from it's Classic relatives.

Even worse, they are all listed under the heading "Silver Dollars". The Morgan's and Peace Dollars are SILVER dollars. The closest thing the Eisenhower has is a 40% silver collectors version. The VAST majority of Ike's are copper-nickel clad....NOT SILVER!!

I have pointed this out to Teletrade on several occasions, each a couple years apart. The first two suggestions were met with a polite "thank you...but" letter. The last time they did not even reply.

How hard can it be to separate these two COMPLETELY different issues?

Do they think that the majority of Morgan collectors also collect Ike's...or vice versa??? NOT!!!

It is not easy to bug me, but having to search through a sea of true silver dollars, to check out what Ike's are up for auction, for more than 10 years, has actually gotten me more than a little annoyed.

I wrote this as a reply to another thread about Teletrade but then decided to post it separately.

    Because they have their head up their a$$. You would also think that after nearly 20 years and hundreds of listings of DOUBLED dies they would know better by this time that DOUBLE die is an incorrect term.
