Good find on the Ike. Barbers, IH, and Standing Liberty Quarters,are easier to find than a Silver Ike. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Are silver Ikes minted with the "S" mintmark? I had a few hundred dollars in Ikes and turned them in at the bank. Wasn't worth the trouble to ebay them.

I would be dancing all the way to my car if I found that! :laughing7: I've been able to find around 50 Ikes so far, but no silver. Congrats! :thumbsup:

Yep, all silver Ikes will have the S mintmark, they were only issued as collectibles from the mint

Nice. Still looking for my first. Always good to find a "first-time" coin.

Awesome find! In ten years of on and off CRH I've only ever gotten one silver Ike and one 1921 Morgan -- that was awesome, I asked the teller if they had any of the big dollars and she pulls out a 1921 Morgan and asks if I want that one.... It was almost impossible to retain my composure ;D

Way to go on a very nice find!
