Ikes............YIKES

terryin pa · Feb 9, 2009

Was doing some bank hopping the last few days looking for silver and not having much luck. Today a teller says we have 18 rolls of Ikes. Thinking there could possible be some old silver I decided to take em. All Ikes. So with what I've accumulated in the last month is about 250.00 now. I was thinking of putting em on feebay, as they are bringing a small premium....the fees will make it not worth the effort. Anyone looking for some ikes at a small premium? Or anyone have a better idea?

Before you get rid of any, aside from the obvious, be sure to keep any from '73 (the lowest minted for those not intended for circulation) and '77P (the lowest minted for those intended for circulation).

Good luck

last year I called about 30 local coin stores. I had about 1100 IKES to get rid of. No one wanted any, not even at $1.00 each. So back to the bank they went.
