<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tight wad, post: 408971, member: 15116&quot;]Just starting coins and reading my new Red book. </p><p>Re: Eisenhower dollar.</p><p>&nbsp;I like this coin and thought&nbsp; I might pick it for my first series to collect.</p><p>However, I am confused about the silver content. My book says in 1971 &quot;collector&#039;s&quot; coins were struck in 40% silver.(800), and circulation coins are composed of copper and nickel. I see ads on ebay for &quot;silver&quot; and 0% silver...so I guess you just trust the creibility of the seller? </p><p>&nbsp;If I have on in hand, how can I tell, ...the edge?</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; Now lets jump to the Bicentennial double dated coins (1776-1976), they seem to share the same delimma. Also, what does &quot;Eagle Reversed&quot; mean? Does his head face the other way on some coins?</p><p>&nbsp; PS . The &quot;completed items&quot; search on ebay, shows the silver Ikes are really increasing in value, so I need to find a wholesale source soon![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
