Bank says it can order me $2000 of Eisenhower dollars

[ringding]

I was at the bank Friday and I asked the commercial teller if they can order me Eisenhower dollar coins and if there was a charge for doing it. She brings some other lady over and they say that they can, but I have to order $2000 at a time. No charge. I want to do this, but the problem is where do I come up with 2 grand?

About a year ago they had a $1000 bag of the dollar coins in their vault and I bought it from them and I found a silver Peace dollar in the bag. So I know that that is a possibility.

Order it to coincide with payday- of course then you will be stuck paying your bills with Ikes but maybe you will find some more silver. HH Mark

I got 2 g's. Order it, I'll pick it up and if I find any silver I'll give it to you ..........LOL

Do you know anybody that you can spilt it with or sell them to after you look through them? I paid $1.10 for a few a while back when I was buying some silver from a lady. I usually can get $1.25 to $1.50 each for common date Ikes.

I am in a local coin club and we have an auction there each month and usually someone there will buy them. Also, I once sold some for $1.50 to a local auction company that gives them away at their auctions. He said it was cheaper than getting $2 bills at the bank and people seem to like getting them. I have never tried ebay (for Ikes) but they do pretty good over there sometimes. I think it helps to offer at least 100 at a time with a good mix of dates and mint marks. Good luck!

Oh, BTW, I stopped at a local bank this past week to get some halves and one of the tellers said "I had some silver dollars but I already gave them to another customer." I assume she meant Ikes, but you never know! I guess that is part of the reason I like this hobby.

Probably non-silver. I've had a few tellers tell me that. I buy them but they are usually clad. It's always worth checking out.

well I ordered them and they said that they should be in next thursday. Problem is, if my car breaks down or I have some financial emergency, all my money is going to be tied up in those coins.

Good luck! You should only have your mony tied up for a couple of days. Looking forward to a report!

No guts, no glory, UR my new hero. I am going to have to talk to my tellers on Tuesday and see if they can do the same thing for me. I am looking forward to seeing your results, I have my fingers crossed for you. Good luck...Ryan

I just had a teller tell me the same thing about Eisenhowers. She said, "but you have to order $500 at a time." Like that was going to discourage me. I told her I would take two. They are supposed to be in on the 20th so I am keeping my fingers crossed.

Bump........Well anything??

I pick it up Friday. I can't wait, but I know that there is the possibility that I can go there and they might say that they didn't come in.
