I was at the bank today and was getting some rolls of pennies to check. I told the teller that I just checked 16 rolls of halves and only got 1 silver clad coin. He pulled out a plastic bag with about 20 Eisenhower dollars. I asked what the dates on them were. He said 1971-1976. I thought hmm, those aren't silver clad. I came home and checked online and then smacked myself upside the head for not buying them! I was thinking of the half dollars (1965-1970). Grrrrrrrr. I'll be at the bank as soon as they open tomorrow and HOPE he still has them!
Yes, I think you're right. They certainly didn't sound like silver when I dropped one that he let me look at. Now I'm not so angry at myself. lol
Silver or not always jump on any Ikes you can get a face. Worst case scenario, you can deposit them. Best case scenario you can get some silver, a nice variety or a maybe even a gem clad worth much more than face. TC
You are absolutely right: I scored 300 at a local bank. 200 of them were keepers, here are 3 of them. They all look like this. All years and mint marks, including a type 1972 type 2. I ask every time in any bank.
