    The bank is not going to have any gold coins. The Sacagawea and Presidential dollars are not gold. They are described as "golden" due to their color. "Golden", but not gold. I expect you may have known this, but it's an important distinction.

    Getting Ike dollars for face value is pretty good. They're not worth much of a premium over face, but some.

    Your photos are of insufficient quality to determine anything about potential varieties on the coins. They look like normal Ikes to me. Worth more than you paid for them, but not by much.

    well you can find a real gold coin in a roll like the 1 in 1 million of a chance to find a $1 gold liberty head or indian princess coin in a penny roll it does happen once in a life time though Has anyone struck real gold coin roll hunting?

    Thank you i understand there not real gold and usually silver either
    Back to the ikes
    So 72 is the only relatively scarce one and must be type 2 to be anything. Can you tell by my crap pictures which this is
    What is the best way to take pics of coins i have a lit microscope (lighted)not lit like slang idiots say today. Also a clip on macro lens that is cheap and ineffectual.
    Thank you.
    I changed the uploaded images to that of the 72

    Oh shoot, Rob! You'd better be careful trying to explain the distinction between "gold" and "golden" lest ye be summarily chastised for being a mean curmudgeon.

    It happens to me all of the time!

    Can you give an example if it has ever occurred?
    I have a sense of false hope :(

    Oh, really? What a coincidence. Looks more to me like you found it on the Money Metals Exchange website, or one of the other places online that use that stock photo. Looks like your “laundromat coin” gets around.

    Yes! Can we see the flip side, too?

    I built this in my backyard, using nothing but popsicle sticks and kiddie glue.

    I like to take this little dinghy out fishing once in a while, too, but need to get a bigger one. The quarters aboard are so cramped. My big screen TVs won’t even fit in the master stateroom.

    I've found gold plated quarters, so you can find "gold coins" roll hunting....

    Not of value really, though....

    I think to find an actual gold coin roll hunting, it would be like being struck by lightning 100 times in a row, some kind of odds like that!

    Do you even know the difference between silver and clad coins? Yours are most likely Cupro-Nickel Clad.. Not Silver.

    You should care. I'm trying to help you. If you found my remarks condescending then coin collecting is not for you. You should understand the differences.
    I'm sort of a nerd but that type of name calling does not bother me one bit. I'm to mature for that garbage..

    Good luck with your searching. I'm done with you.
