Kennedy's and Ikes!

While I was picking up my weekly 2 boxes yesterday, the teller next door asked if I would be interested in any BIG Dollar coins. I said sure, what ya got? She replied with "300". i promptly snatched them up. No silver, but the next to last roll was solid 1978-P, mostly AU.....putting that roll away for now.....might post on Ebay.

The 2 boxes of halves produced 2 90's and 1 40. Of my last 12 Kens.....9 have been 90's......a great ratio!!

300! That's a lot of Ikes. It's a shame you didn't find silver. Good luck unloading them.

Sell all of them on eBay or Craigslist, not just that one.

Spend them. It's a hoot seeing ppl wig out getting them.
I always tip the delivery drivers with 1 Ike and 2 clad Kens. They get so excited, they don't realize I only gave them $2.

I wish I could come up on some ikes like that :sadsmiley:

Unloading was easy....a teller at one of my other pickup banks took all of them!

That's good! I would have gotten the evil stare if I brought in 15 rolls of Ikes.

I was at a credit union once and the teller said she had $1200 in Ikes. So $300 is nothin!

It was clear that somebody had ordered them to look for Ag, so I got a couple of hundred to sell on eBay for a modest profit, but I didn't want to really tie up any cash (or PayPal balance) on ikes.
