Ordered some Eisenhower bags

CoinMania · Mar 16, 2012

I ordered some Eisenhower bags and to my surprise just $100 into the bag I spot this:

I hope its real. I may take it down to my local coin shop to get it checked out. I know there are fakes out there but heck its worth a shot.

I am still working a couple of leads on ordering big dollar coins, just need to be sure they dont order sacs or presidentials.

I have been trying to find a source as well. I Might have to go up to KC to find someplace that can do it. First I need to find someone who will buy them off of me as well. I would gladly sell them on Craigslist for $1.05 ea to a collector. That would cover my gas there and back, hell I would deliver them to him as well lol.

You could roll them up and sell them to the banks in your area, $100 each at 10 banks should do the trick no?

I could. I have enough banks I am a member at now that it should not be an issue I would prefer to sell them to someone who would want to buy them so I could recoup the gas costs for a drive out to the city, if at all possible.

Thursday I will call some banks around KC and see if I can find any that would be willing to order ikes.

I got another 2 bags of Ikes in today. When I was looking at the bag I saw a 1870 Liberty Seated Dollar through the bag. I quickly grabbed a magnet and the coin stuck to the magnet, another chinese fake

I did go through other other bag and found through the first 200 Ikes a bunch of uncirculated ones like they came off the press. Nice toning and no dents. I did happen to get my first silver here is a pic.

1926 S Peace Dollar

Gah I love peace dollars...just don't have any =/
I think im going to talk to a bank about maybe ordering bags...but i dont see it happening!
Congrats though.
Is that all you found in the 2 bags?

I got a person willing to buy my 15 Clad Ikes for $20 but I cant find anyone to order bags lol.

The rest of the bag netted me 1 Proof 1976 Ike, another token (Casino I believe, can't make it out). Another magnetic coin-a fake quarter dated 1865 (but a George Washington Style Quarter 1932-1998) the size of an Ike. And I have 1 bag left to go for tomorrow.
