1000 Ikes - What to do?

[alabamadan]

Hey y'all. Like my subject says. I've got about 1000 Ike dollars. I've already been through them, found one 73 Silver. Filled up my Ike book all I could, not I've got to get rid of the rest. Should I just dump them at the bank or is there a way to get more than $1 each for them. They do seem rarer than Kennedy Halves and seems a shame to just dump them.

some dealers pay $1.10-$1.90 per coin...hope this helps.

Make sure the machine accepts them if you decide to dump, my bank does not take them in their machine.

Try Ringling Brothers and Barnun and E-BAY!!! I here there a sucker born every minute over there and they will pay top dollar for anything!

Someone posted a dealer while ago who buys them for .90 cents and sells them for more of course.

.90 ! I can always get face at the bank. I rolled 'em up today. I don't know why, but I still like them. I guess it's the size or something.

My wife like's them too we have near 200 she will not let me dump- though have left a dew for tips ; who knows maybe some unforeseen day they may be worth more than a $ .

I just sold 100 of them for $120 to some guy in a nice suit that I found on craigslist, not too bad eh?

I've seen common Ike dollars sell for 3Xf at country auction, I've seen them advertised locally for $5 ea. I always trade 'em for paper money or pay at drive-thru's.
1000 Ikes in a bag would also make a great ballast weight, or even boat anchor! ffd
