I got a bag on 1000 ikes last week and found 17 silvers, 5 of them were 40% silver ikes.

Sweet - so you basically got a roll of silver dollars? The rest were CC morgans, or were they Gem BU key date Peace dollars?

One Hungarian Taler, 5 American Eagles, 4 Morgans (3-1921 1-1880), 1 Peace (1922), 1 Statue of Liberty Comm. It was great. I ordered 3 more 1000 coin bags.

Yes me to, I search $50,000 in .50 cent pieces every other week. Last week I ordered $2000 in large dollars but got 2 boxes of small gold ones.



I would love to try $50,000 in the big dollar coins, but I would need to get a bank to take bagged coins.

That was my first and only $1000 bag of IKes. It was probably a fluke. But since halves have been drying up here, I got the bank to order them. 3 more bags are suppose to come tomorrow, then we'll see if I am really on to something. My partner has deep pockets or I could not do but one bag a month.

They must do zero processing on verifying Ikes when filling bags. Since SAE are considerable larger than the regular old "Silver Dollars". Good luck with the other 3 bags coming.

I'm jealous... Have never cracked the code on getting big dollars despite great relationship with tellers... Where are you at if you don't mind saying? Maybe location matters....

Great score BTW

All tellers can order Ikes, but they have to call Brinks, as it is not on their order sheet. Most tellers are just lazy, and it may come with extra fees.

Only got two bags of Ikes. My teller said that is all the supplier had. I found a 1903 S Morgan, an 1887 Morgan, a 71 Blue Ike, 73 proof, 77 proof, 73 clad au, and a Mirage one dollar token. I sold $1100 within an hour and have the rest to sell at a flea market.
