Any Ike only hunters???

[Kennedyhunter]

Are any of you ladies and gentlemen Ike hunters? If you are, how lucky are you with finding silver, or for that matter, Peace and Morgans? I've scanned threads and it does not seem like many people are into Ikes exclusively. Thanks, Mike.

I don't limit what form my silver comes in. To be exclusive would be kind of silly if you are after silver. I'm game for any coin that is the right metal, be it nickels, dimes, quarters, HALVES, or dollars. I love them ALL!!! : )

I've gotten 190 dollars in Ikes over the past 4 years and 2 of them were peace dollars (1923-d, 1923-s)
I've gotten 2 boxes of half dollars in 2 months and got 7 keepers
1x 90%
6x 40%
Dollar total: 1.54688 oz of silver
Half dollar total: 1.24909 oz of silver.

2 months compared to 4 years, half dollars yield more silver

I never find enough Ikes to limit myself to just Ikes.

I don't do ike's ONLY, but every time i go to the bank i ask for halves and then for "large-size" dollars.
i got many ikes before, unfortunately only 1 was silver.
but i always take all the ikes they have

 

[CHAINCHOMP]

i get all the halves and "silver dollars" the banks have...only once i hit a ASE...the rest clad. halves ive gotten many loose silvers and MANY silvers from rolls. keep it up and hh!

After I ask for Halves, the next thing I usually ask for is "dollar coins like this one" after I pull a clad Ike out of my pocket. It was pretty cool to find 24 Ikes at a bank once. All clad, but still cool looking. The bank had 80 or so, but was selling them throughout the day. And this was a bank that had nothing cool the last 2 times I was in there.

I have searched over $3000 in large dollars in the last 3 years. I have less than $20 in Morgans and Peace Dollars and 1 bicentennial proof to show the effort

Is that not a good return??

I would be happy find 5 morgans or peace dollars..I only say that because ive gotten 3000 worth of skunk halves before

Are Ikes silver? It was my impression that they were only made of clad...

No Ikes released for circulation are silver but they did make some proof 40%ers.
