I dont know myself, but I have about 80 of them I wouldnt mind checking if someone does know how to spot more valuable ones.

I havent found any silver ones yet either... Oh well

Got this link from somebody on forums not long ago Sax, figure it may help you in finding varieties and such.

Ok. It looks like I have 1 type 1 and 10 type 3's for 1972- all with no mint mark.
I also found 2 type 1 for 1976 D.

Are they worth anything?

Thanks!,

Of course you've found type 1's and type 3s.... the type 2 72, is the only ike worth money of the three.

Some have said they have made money on the dif variety of Ikes, I have well over a 100 of them so I asked my local LCS, he said he wasn't interested in any of them unless they were Silver, he said it's just clad and not worth anything to him, even though he had pleny of them in his case for well above face value and not Silver, that being said, there are people out there that do collect them and will pay above face for certain ones, you just have to find them.

Your average Type II, is worth 4-5 as much as a silver ike.

Not conflicting you 50, but, something is only worth what someone wants to pay for it. HH, Maverick.

If you were to sell them on Ebay, what would you ship them in and how much should the shipping be?

Free shipping, I would not settle for anything less than $40 for a type II in even bad condition.

If you are talking about listing bulk ikes in general on ebay, its not worth it in my honest opinion, you'll make more money listing S.B.A's.
