When available, Ikes are shipped in bags; not boxes.
They are probably one of the more recent quarter-sized dollar coins.
I'd pass.

I want to know if there are enough physical differences between silver dollars and Ike's that the coin countersat brinks loomiss etc would reject them.

Also, as a tipoff is that they can get you a "box". Ikes will come in a bag. Brinks/Loomis have no capacity to roll Ikes. The only chance that one could get a box of Ikes is if they were customer rolled and repackaged at a Brinks/Loomis facility.
Do not get offended when a long time CRH'r is telling you the facts here. "It Is Highly Unlikely" There is no place on the vault tellers order form that specifically allows them to order Ike's. If they are able to get them they would most likely come in a bag and it would be a special order of sorts. Very uncommon coin these days..
Most tellers call them silver dollars and some call Susan B's Silver dollars. so prepare to be disappointed.... But if we're wrong .... Get as many as you can.....

I am just repeating what the others said. Nobody can get boxes of IKES, bags yes but not boxes. Most tellers just do not listen (probably like the rest of the population) There are times I specifically say BIG DOLLARS and actually show one and they pull out those quarter look-alikes.thing said:I talked to a teller yesterday and they offered to order me a 1000 box of ike dollars.
