If it's worth your time, someone's bound to buy the fake ones for $2 each.

Still working on getting my bank to order Ikes. The latest word that it is *remotely* possible to get them on order, but that each order stands a high probability of consisting of SBAs or brass coins.

They were tailing me but I lost them.

You need to find a bank that will take them bagged up.

I got 2 $100 bags both skunks.

I have managed precisely 2 $1,000 bags since the first of the year. The first one took 3 weeks to arrive, the 2nd one 2 months. 2 40%'ers in the first bag along with a Peace $. The 2nd bag I am reduced to trying to find one each of the 1972 variants because there was nothing silver within.

A 1972 Type II coin is relatively valuable--definitely worth more than a garden-variety Morgan or Peace dollar.

Got hundreds of 1972s stacked, hopefully some King Ikes are there....

 

[Rascal]

Likewise, I have box of just "72's that are going to be searched in detail once I get a better magnifier. The casinos here will take Ikes at the cage, and I otherwise spend them here and there. No more than about $40 at a time just because of the weight in my pocket, but I have never had anyone refuse them. In fact they barely raise an eyebrow.

Put them on CL..
I put 70 ikes for $75 on there last night, and am suppose to meet with some one today to sell them.
Not to bad!

 

[n8dagr8345]

Any suggestions you all may be able to give me on getting a bank to order Ikes? Any of your banks able to do it easily? What banks?

Your response puzzles me. You are obviously aware of varieties that will carry a numismatic premium. Yet in your other thread (Clues when CRH'ing), when asked about the 83 P/D Quarters, you had no idea. You stated that you normally only look for silver or (impaired)proofs. You had even kept the early clads from the 60's and 70's because they were in good shape. It makes no sense. Hunters - not just you- ignore the most valuable coins while shrieking like a school girl on prom night when they stumble upon a silver coin worth 6 or 7 bucks.

Well, I have a very logical response to this. I've never been able to obtain more than 200 Ikes at one time. Considering that Ikes were only minted for a period of 7 years, the odds of finding a Type II coin are considerably higher relative to the amount of effort necessary to check the coins.

I've heard of the '83 coins but never paid a whole lot of attention to them--I'm not even immediately aware of their value. However, when you consider the nearly 50 years of worn clad coinage that would have to be examined to find one of these, to me it isn't worth the effort. If I had the extra time, I would. It's not even like sorting pennies--I could throw a bag of them on a table and sort the Wheaties from the 1959-1968 coins from the 1969-1982 coins from the 1983+ coins just by seeing the variations in design over the years. Even that takes more effort than I feel the return is worth.

*clarification* The NIFCs and impaired proofs also stick out like sore thumbs because the sandwiching is very bright and the reeding is very sharp.

BTW, isn't there an '82 dime rarity as well?

i believe it is the 1982 no P dime you are thinking of. by the way are you a member of wheres george? there is someone with a user name over there that is similar to yours here.

 

[sagittarius98]

2 40%'ers in the first bag along with a Peace $.

40% eisenhower, or mistakenly put 40% ken?

 

[BuffaloBoy]

A unc 83' clad can even be worth $50. You would need 9 silver quarters to earn that much.

They are fakes, but you can verify they are Chinese fakes?
