Quick trip to the B of A Silver Mine today

It's not far, I went in and asked for some halves, bought all they had, the nice lady said someone had just come in with them.

Take a look - all 40% Kennedy's with one 1963-D Franklin and a strike through error on a 1983.

Not a dumb question at all. It would be highly unusual to see Morgan or Peace dollars in a roll, but if you did, they would most likely be in a paper roll used for Ike dollars and they were used in the late 1970's. I have bought CWRs of dimes that were stamped with a bank name that went out of business about that time, so the paper rolls can stick around for decades.

Silver dollars have been 38.1mm in diameter from 1840 to 1978, so paper rolls used for Ikes would fit any of those.

I see Amazon sells wrappers for Eisenhower, Morgan and Peace dollars, the $20 roll.

Fistfulladirt, that's news to me. Cool. Wish I had enough to fill a roll.

I’m wondering if I should try and sell some of my Ike’s by the rolls instead of individuals.

Is there a market for the regular, circulated clad Ikes? I've used them to hold down paper money tips.

I agree with fistfulladirt. There is a market for them.

 

[Holt0222]

Yup I sell mine for 2.60 a piece with free shipping. I sell 5 at a time and with minimum shipping of 1.50. I get 6.5 - fees.

Oh absolutely. I like to do that every once in a while. Heck even my wife bought some food from the grocery store and paid with some halves and the cashier told her that they couldn’t take fake money and had to get a manager to allow the coins. I could only imagine what it would have been if it was an Ike.

if it’s not plastic, it’s always “fake money.”

For extreme fun, get a $2 bill.

Yup. And your bank will order any quantity of them for you.

You can almost hear the "Hallelujah Chorus" when I ask for some at the credit union. They are NOT popular.

LOL. I bought 50 of them once and made them very happy.
