<p>[QUOTE="Vertigo, post: 8511368, member: 118430"]Sadly the eisenhower dollar wasn't very popular when it came out. It never rreally realized itself even yet I don't think. At some point it will become highly collectible though. They are gaining in popularity. And some varieties and any rattler are bringing big money on the bay. And stick a cac sticker on it and some are bringing 3 to 400 dollars. The thing about them is, not many of these coins struck up well. Especially the clad ones. It was the largest clad coin minted at its time. And even the 40% was new territory for this size of a coin. The number that actually get a bean is very low. And the cac coins are bringing big money to those who want them and know how hard they are to come by. </p><p>I went into a coin shop a few blocks from me once and asked if the guy had any ike dollars. He said no and seemed irritated. He said no wait i have one ike dollar. And he grabbed a random clad from a safe and set it in the desk. Said I got this one. Randomly circulated clad 76... said people will think they're worth more than a dollar. He said it wasn't a very popular coin when it came out and still isn't. Totally went on this rant about the ike dollar. I haven't even went back to his shop after that.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
