<p>[QUOTE="cladking, post: 134755, member: 68"]Bags of the old silver dollars would be much easier to find in BU (or circ) and would have a good chance at appreciation. They'll cost a lot more. There's very little chance that a bag of circulated Ikes will have much increase in value. Nice AU's are likely to gain a premium but in most cases it won't be much of a premium. Varieties should do well but there are very few varieties in a bag. The opportunity costs on the losers is likely to eat up all the profits on the winners. </p><p><br /></p><p>You might try finding a bag of BU Ikes.

Best of all is price; despite being scarce these start at only about double face value. </p><p><br /></p><p>Another option you might consider is choicing out a lot of Ikes and assembling a bag of nice AU's.
