Lot of 25 Eisenhower IKE Dollars (25 Coins) not silver http://cgi.ebay.com/Lot-of-25-Eisen...ryZ11981QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Things that make you go hmmmm.........
My local dealer will give $1.05 IF he needs some circulated Ikes. If I could dump 25 at $35 I'd be happy. Going to have to do some research here.
Yeah, I ran across these, too, while I was trolling the Bay for some Blue Ikes, Brown Box Ikes, UNC Ikes, etc. (I just really like Ikes! Kinda convenient how he can't really say what kind of shape they're in or be held accountable for whatever that shape may be, since he couldn't sort them or "pay attention" to anything like that and still call them "unsearched" (wonder if he's related to Bill Clinton, with slick reasoning like that? His absolute determination not to be "false", in that regard, is truly inspirational! :hail: I have a question for him, though: If he didn't sort them in any way, and doesn't pay attention to even which mint they came from, then how does he know that none of them are silver????? He says right there in the description: "not silver". How could someone who didn't even sort the coins, nor note the mint marks, know that for certain??? It makes you say "hmmmmmmm" alright......that so many people could be so gullible! The Whistler :whistle:
I agree they make great gifts and unique coins to tip ~ but paying double the value is weird. My only rationale, giving the bidders / winners the benefit of the doubt, is that they are not located anywhere near a bank, coin shop, coin show .... and have no idea how much they overbid. That has to be it.
I threw a bunch of eisenhower dollars in a coinstar machine, and it jammed the machine. A little off topic, but if any of you ever use coin star, it really doesn't like eisenhower dollars.
Free Ike! I don't buy into the "unsearched" statement from any coin sale. It is just not logical. However I've seen Ikes for sale up to 2.00 @ in coin shops. These are circulated Ikes, well circulated, and people are buying them. I have given 1.20 @ for them just because I want to acquire hundreds, (special poker chips). I think they sell like this for the most part because you don't see them in circulation, the public remembers them and they are the last of the large dollar coins. I personally think its crazier for the public to be buying Statehood Quarters for 50 cent, and higher then it is to pay even a dollar premium on a decent Ike dollar (as a collectible). I think this guys is very enterprising and he also may know that you can still acquire Ikes from the reserve banks in 1000 count bags. IMHO good for him! Get the Ike back in the game, I love it! Keep on Collecting!!! Allen
Gotta love them unseached rolls. I have an unsearched roll of 1930 decade Lincoln cents. YA RIGHT... unsearched but you know they are all from the 30's?
because trained monkeys were used to sort the wheat cents by the first three numbers in the date. if they made any attempt to acknowledge the fourth digit, they were beaten severely.
