One Dollar Coins?

[ThatGuyInTheBack]

Hey guys I'm planning on coin hunting pretty soon so I was doing some research on the coins and I found close to nothing on the one dollar coins and I doubt it's because no one's tried them. Wikipedia says that it doesn't have any gold or silver in it by composition so I thought that was why but I checked the half dollar coins and it said the same thing. Am I missing something, or have people really just not tried them?

Thanks

Always ask for big dollar coins. Who knows might get a morgan or something sweet. Some here have had luck having their banks order them bags of Ikes, and anything could be in those as well. If you find a bank branch to order for you and can figure out how to get rid of dumps, go for it. Some here have sold clad ikes for a premium on craigslist.

How much silver are in the Ikes? I have two of them but I cant find the mint symbol...

You might also want to check out http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/c...-beginners-guide-coin-roll-hunting-terms.html. There is an incredible amount of information in that entire thread for the beginner. BTW to answer your original question, there is no gold or silver in ANY of the small dollar coins and that is why no one talks about them for CRHing.

I have been told that the shiny ones are worth much! I'd hold on to them

Just don't use the info on that site for values.

I recently took $97 of Ikes off of someone's hands for face value. I know they are not 40% silver, but are they worth anything above face?

Not unless you can find a buyer.

There's people who have had luck selling them above face to individuals, most coin/bullion shops will roll their eyes at you if you take it in to them. Try eBay or Craigslist if you want. Myself I just dump them if they aren't silver.
