Sold my IKES for a profit

[dossier]

I collected over 100 IKES so I put up an ad on craigslist 2 weeks back. I got a response a week ago, we met today. She paid $1.30 per coin and drove over an HOUR to get them... lol what the heck. I checked them all for silver so sorry lady!

As a side note I didn't put the word silver anywhere in the ad.

Happy Hunting!

a 30% profit is nothing to complain about ! nice job! i sold 75 via craigslist for the same price a while back. workin on a new lot right now.

Hmm, interesting. I have about 30 sitting that I was just going to spend. Let me give it a shot too on Craigslist.

I've heard some coin dealers will pay up to $1.20 apiece. They go for about $25 for a 20 coin roll on eBay also, though you'd lose most of that profit in fees.

You won't find me complaining about a profit any day!

I must say though nobody else emailed me about them so I think I got lucky. I asked a coin dealer about them and they weren't interested in buying any. But I did see them selling regular clad ones for over 2$ at the same store Lol

Thanks for the info. I've been saving all Ikes I've found, and plan to unload them in quantity at some point in time.

I like IKE !!
I don't pay over $1 per coin, but will and do buy them for a buck when I see them around. They are just fun to have cause of their oddity.

(now, don't get me wrong, I do not hoard them, just get them when I can)

I've been able to pick up around $30 in Ikes over the last few months at banks. They are hard to find in these parts but I have held onto them and maybe can swing a small profit.

Hmm I have a bank that has 1000's of them and I mean close to 10k!

Ka-Ching!
