Silver and Ikes

[thudson]

I went to a fairly large city today to go to a coin shop. Well the shop was a bust but I did buy $2200 in halves to look thru. Found 1 bank that would order as many halves as I wanted and another that said they could order Ike's from the fed in Denver. So I bought $258 in dollars. All bicentennial. 1 $500 box produced no halves ,$1000 rolled from 4 different banks netted 20- 40%, 1 90% and $700 loose produced 101 40% , 5 90% Kennedy's , 1 beat up franklin , and 1 1960 hong Kong / English $. The last one was from when hong Kong was under British control , didn't that change in 2000? And 1 2 pence that wound up in a town of less than 300 people in the middle of Wyoming. Go figure. Can anyone post a picture of the differences in the type 1 and type 2 in the 76 clad Ike's? tried looking at some of them but couldn't really tell the difference. I guess this kinda makes up for th last $1500 that produced less than 10 silver total. I think I will spend the $ 's that I dint keep, get them back in circulation . HH

You definately got some ugly puppies in that bunch. Way to go on being that aggressive, 2200 like 150 pounds of halves. Haha. Way to go.

Side note. Nice job finding a bunch of Ikes. I came across a $130 or so worth a few weeks ago. Most I had ever come across. Keep an eye our for the occasional silver clad variety.

Congratulations,

That was one heck of a haul on those 40% for what you bought. Very nice.

Thanks Immy, that page is exactly what I was looking for. The description in the red book was kind of plain. And yes it was all heavy . It took 4 trips to get it all in the house. HH
