Eisenhower Dollars?

[Smremm]

I went to my regular pick up bank to get some dimes and, of course, asked if they had any halves. The teller said no, but he had nine "silver dollars". I knew at a glance they weren't silver but didn't want to discourage them from offering up coins I took them all. I don't know anything about these dollar coins other than the info I can find on Wikipedia and E-bay, which isn't very enlightening. Can anyone tell me if these are worth keeping?

I personally hang on to them, if you have enough, you can list lots for sale and get a small profit.

Wow, sweet! Thanks, I'll hang on to them then.

NOPE
I once had almost 1800 I called every coin dealer in the area (over 20) no one wanted. I contacted a company that sell reconditioned dollar slot machines. He was slightly interested bout wouldn't pay enough to cover dollar value and shipping. Then even backed out because he was worried that the coins would get lost in the mail. Also, looked into closed ebay auctions none were selling at a profit.

If you can keep them, then you should. I've kept almost every one I've come across. I think they will be worth more in the future as they get older, and they are simply an awesome coin to stockpile

Over the past couple of months I've got about $150.00 worth from various banks, all duds. I spend them at the restaurants for tips, the barber shop, the ACE hardware store and trade them off for paper dollars to various folks. To me they are only worth a buck.

I found putting them in a nice coin fold my yearly rummage sale brings 1.50 each same with the really shinny halfs 71 thru 05 in one of those half books brings 40.00$ lot of people think they are nice gifts for their grandchildren
