Was a crappy day, until i went to the bank.

It's raining and cold here in Detroit today. Always bums me out. So I ran over to the bank since my wife has my ATM card (of course lol). The teller remembered me asking about Ikes and halfves, etc..
She said " An old lady brought in some "silver" dollars.
I said, "oh cool, I'll take them all.
So she drops 300 in front of me. Score!

At first glance they appear to be in amazing condition. Anyway, right place, right time. Definitely brightened up my day. Can't wait to look through them after work
Geez, im a dork.

Very nice! Let us know if you find any goodies in there.

 

Nice score on the Ikes, I love finding them.

 

I will have to refresh my memory on what to look for. The types, and what years. Anyone want to throw me a good link before I go google happy?

 

This is a decent site: http://eisenhowerdollarguide.com/

Keep an eye out for the 1972 Type 2's: http://eisenhowerdollarguide.com/1972-eisenhower-dollar-varieties/

 

Only ones I really look for are silver, NIFC and proofs, '72 Type 2's, and FEV's.

 

Perfect. thank you.

 

Yo Merc,
What is NIFC and FEV?

 

Not intended for circ and friendly eagle variety.

 

Just read up on the FEV. Thanks for the tip. I have never heard of that. Now you pushed some other fact out of my head so this one could enter.

 

Haha, I know how that is.

 

hahaha at first i thou it was a bag of dimes until i saw the magnified picture. silly me. nice grab.

 

Wow! Nice score! Man, timing is everything!

 

I didn't see FEV on this link... would like to know more about it though.

OMG! That's so awesome Greg! Congrats! Be sure to check them closely, lots of detailed info on Ikes at the ikegroup.org

 

It hasn't been mentioned yet, but I would look for 1973's which were not released for general circulation, but were issued in US Mint Uncirculated sets only. Probably won't find any, but I did find 3 or 4 in a bowl of Ikes at a coin show a few years ago, so you never know. They are not high dollar items but still worth a few dollars above all the business strike Ikes.

 

Nice find!

 

They have been mentioned... NIFC. Not intended for circulation.
