There are so many DDOs with Ike's that getting them now when the market is soft on Ikes is a great idea.

Hey, when you come across a group of IKES that are mixed grades and years, What is the base price for these non-silver $$s? I've paid $3 and $4 for these when they're sold at flea markets etc. (That's also, how I got my 1938 S Peace $ VAM 3.
So, I'm asking, Is 3-4$$$ worth it for any IKE $ in todays market.

Well, I'm thinking that, when you buy in quantity, if you try to get them for as little as possible and later you can look them up for all the varieties that you don't know off hand, it can turn out to be profitable. You can always turn them back into circulation, or alt least, find someone else who wants them.

On the other hand, there are hoards of many thousands out there (from casinos etc.) that are basically unreached. These hoards, I believe, contain the various wonders of the Eisenhower Dollar series. It only take some adventurous soul to start locating them and looking.

Hey Bruce,
When I buy these in bulk, which when I do, I usually look for the in UNC condition which around here is tough. I try to buy them for no more than $1.50 a piece, but really try to get down around $1.10-1.20. Most times I am successful on negotiating down to that price mainly because nobody is interested in them and dealers want to move them. When it comes to the silver unc onces, $4-5 I find is a decent and common price. For the proof silver anywhere from $5-8 I find is a common price depending on how many you buy. Also, the 73 proof will cost you a bit more, I think somewhere around $15-25 depending on the deal you get. Sometimes more if it is a nice one.

The gentleman that I have been dealing with lately makes some pretty decent returns because he knows what he's look for and basically cherrypicks all the varieties... turns them in for grading and resells them. If he finds them for anywhere near the prices I mentioned above or even a bit more, he is still making a ton back on his investment. I hope to be at that point one day, but in the mean time, I am having funning learning to get to that point.
