I haven't looked really. I asked a couple of times but not too much luck. I wouldn't know what to look for at any rate.

And heck, next year they are going to begin minting a new series of dollar coins with 4 dead presidents on them.

Why, I will never know.

Asked plenty. No one had em. I turned in about $30 worth 6 months ago. None silver. I didn't realize peps would pay more for them or I would have kept em.

Ain't that the way it ussually goes, sell something then the value shots up there or the demand.

You do know some have 40%silver
Bring on the new coins more to go through and find all the old ones from, Just think if they made them the size of large dollars, then there would be a better chance of finding older morgans and such.

I went to the bank a few weeks ago. The teller told me they had about $40 in Ikes. I bought them and had one 1971 40%. I was giving them to my son for allowance, and then buying them back from him when he wanted to spend them. But my brilliant wife took him, along with the Ikes to Game Stop and POOF! all 40 into the cash register!!

Bob:

In answer to your Eisenhower Dollar question, The large coin was minted in silver clad (40% silver) beginning in there first year of mintage, which was 1971, through the 1776-1976 Bi-centennial issue. Only coins with an "S" mintmark were available in silver clad, as well as the normal clad. You can tell the silver by looking at the edge. Normal mintage will have a two-tone look, copper/silver. Silver will not have the copper color. You can see the difference in these photos. The coin on the left is a 1971 "S" silver clad.
Notice how it appears whiter than the clad?

Note: The last mintage was the 1977 mintage, which was not available in silver clad.

Great info and photos Neil.

They were actually lasted minted in '78, and the '73 is the tough one to find, for they were only minted for Mint Sets (P & D) or Proof Sets (S).

I just turned in 195.00 worth today. There was nothing in the batch worth keeping.

to the bank or coin store?

Why, I will never know.

I have one 1971 Ike. A teller was holding it for me when I went to pick up a box. I always ask at every bank but no luck on the large dollars.

My bank has had quite a few lately. Over the past month or so I have picked up $400 in Ikes I have over $500 sitting in Mason Jars now. I think I want to save $1000 in them and use them on a down payment for a car.
That will get the Sales rep going good.
