Found 20 Eisenhower dollars at a bank today. None of the major varieties, but not bad for $1 each.

 

Nice! I always liked Eisenhowers...

Can't wait to go pick up my box of halves in a few minutes, hope its as good as yours, Bob!

 

85$ halves, two 40%.

 

Got a partial box (almost all of it), $430 worth.

No silver
5 2009 (both mints)
2005
2004

I'll ask again, do you keep all of the post 2002 ones due to the low mintage?

 

to Bobbeth

Yes (keep all 2002+ and '87), and I am still searching for 02D & both 03's.

Awesome proof find BTW. I would rather find a proof than a 40% (but not a 64) I only have found 4 (73, 74, 08 & 74 IKE) so far.

 

Why 1987? Was that a low mintage year?

 

87 did not have any halves in circulation, these are compared to 12 million in other years.

1987 P - 2,890,758
1987 D - 2,890,758

(as per wikipedia)

 

22 Rolls searched out of my box and so far have found 1 1980S proof (in decent shape but with a few spots, one post-2002 and 3 40%

 

Still on a lull

In last two weeks, 5 boxes and only 1 90%, 1 40%. Sigh Been having trouble finding them lately.

In Answer to Bobbeth...

I do keep all 2002+, but sometimes I wonder why. I find them every now and then. I think I have about two Whitman pages full of them.

The '87 coins must be rare, I've never seen one yet of either mint mark.

I have searched just under $6500 of halves - the equivalent of about 13 boxes - in the last couple of months (since I began). I have found:

34 2002+ (20 of these were a full mint roll of 09d)
2 Proofs
90 40%
13 '64 Kennedy
5 Walkers
6 Franklins
0 1987 coins
0 1970 coins
0 Doubled Dies
1 Worthless Mexican Peso, but in good condition

-Pretty good luck on the whol with the silver coins, I think.

Got a 67 half from a teller today. She says, I don't have anything. Then was like "Do you take these?" It was toned so brown. Well, yeah, I said. Then I got 2 rolls of the new quarters. tails on both sides.

 

just found a second american samoa quarter.

inventory:
1 pc district of columbia
1 pc puerto rico
2 pc american samoa

still missing:
guam
the virgin islands

coming soon:
the northern mariana islands

 

I went to a few banks today looking for halves. Only got about $200 worth...and it looks like it's already been looked through and re-rolled. Got 3 40%ers out of a coin tray at one of the banks though.
The same teller asked me if I wanted any silver dollars as well!
My heart skipped a bit as I imaginged a couple Morgan's being handed over to me...
She reached under the counter and pulled out a rediculously stuffed bank envelop and poured onto the counter...
56....
Eisenhowers.

No proofs or silvers, but some in pretty nice condition.
I don't know why, but I like Ike dollars. I like the man and I like space (so the moon on a coin is pretty cool!) ha.

Question.
I see so much varying info on Ike dollars... all the silver one's are proof, but are all the proofs silver? Thanks.

 

$410 in halves all customer rolled had to go out of town to get them .

9 40%

 

to cphine

My (current) avatar is a 74 Ike proof non-silver (clad) which i picked up at a bank.

Also there are uncirculated 40% silver Ikes which were sold in blue packaging that are called blues.

 

Got two boxes of halves the other day. Both boxes were nothing but recycled rolls (already searched.) I haven't gotten a 'virgin' box of halves in almost a year. Also means I haven't pulled any silver out of a box in about a year either.

Was at another bank today, and the teller was telling me about a guy who orders $5000 in halves each week. No wonder I can't find anything good. This area is flooded with his rejects. (And I live in central florida, with about 1.5 million other people)

Anyone else have that problem?

How about spending the rejects? I try my darndest to spend as many of the halves as possible. How bout the rest of you?

 

went through 25 dollars in pennies and found the following

3 1944P
1 1954S
3 Railsplitters
3 log cabins
1 Lawyer
2 1951 Canadian pennies, 3 canadian comm.
1 1941 Canadian penny
2 1957 Canadian pennies
Not a great search but hey I found another 3rd new lincoln penny yay!

 

from the half dollar roll I found a 1981P nothin else

 

I actually found a 1987-P in the first box of $500 I ever searched!! It was pretty banged up and was probably in VF-XF grade, nothing special but the date. Would much rather be finding silver though :thumb:
