Went looking for silver eagles today

[huskie fan]

I went to ten banks today to get some silver eagles. The banks had quarters, dollars and some clad proof sets. One bank did have some 1 oz silver coins that said birthday, new baby, wedding, ect. The were selling for $38. I did not buy any because them seemed on the high side. Was I correct?

I did get $275.50 in halves all skunkie!

I did pick up 4 - $2 Ikes!

I think 38 dollars is a great price per ounce of silver. Especially when it will probably double in price by the end of this year.

Last weekend at a coin show I traded 2 rolls of 40% toward some eagles @ $36 ea, wish I'd bought 10 more. Locally now they are $40ea.

The bank did not have any silver eagles. They were odd looking coins

wait, i am confused, do banks sell american silver eagles? i have never heard of this...is it only certain ones, or is it all big banks (ie wells fargo, boa etc)?
also, when u say 4 - $2 ikes...what do u mean? u got $2 coins? are they U.S. or canadian? or do u mean u can sell them each for $2.00?
keep it up and hh!

I got confused by the $2 ikes as well.

I'd also like to know what banks sell eagles. I've never seen them in a bank and I'm a bank courier for one of the larger more popular banks in the area.

Yes many banks sell and try to sell eagles for a small profit. If you can buy eagles at $38 with todays price you are doing well. Eagles bring a small premium over spot compared to most any 1 oz bullion of other types.

My local coin shop was selling SE's for $38 on Saturday. Wish I had the $$$ to buy bunches of them!!!

$2 ikes... possibly a twoonie?

Is it silver-ish on the outside and gold-ish in the middle with a polar bear on the reverse?

I have only ever found 1 bank (a CU) that sold ASEs. They were $79.99 each. What a deal...

Been to a few banks on road trips, the eagles were selling at $40. I have seen those odd silver coins in there huskie fan, forgot how much they are going for might try to check on that this week.
Have been to a few banks that have necklaces with coins in them that was a first for me
