I've had the bad habit of wandering all over the place in my coin collecting pursuits. As soon as I decide to concentrate in one area or on one series, someone posts an image of an absolutely stunning coin and I'm off in a new direction! Anyway, I decided to stick with $1 coins (try to anyway). My ASEs and Sacs are up to date, and I only need the Type 2 SBAs. Morgans and Peace, I pick up every so often. So, with one lonely Eisenhower in a brand new Dansco album, I figured it was time to fill this set. On a whim I stopped by my bank and asked if they had any rolls. The cashier said they didn't, but she would check the main vault? She called and it turns out they have bunches of Eisenhower rolls that they would deliver to my local branch for me. Seems they can't get rid of them. I only ordered two rolls this time, figured I'd break my wife in easy, as she gets to take all my picked through coins back to her bank to turn in. Don't want to make the cashiers at my bank mad! But, good to know that there still are banks that will check and order rolls for you if you ask.
thats very interesting. I was in the Bank of New York today on Park Avenue when I asked for dollar coins and they had 500 sacs and susanbs, but no EisenHowsers. Ruben
I picked up 100 Ikes a few months ago, all rolled up all higher grade. The cost $125.00 that included S&H. Hopefully in 20 30 years. they will worth having. lol edit to add: beleive it or not. Ikes are starting to really get hard to find in pocket change. I used to spend them when i was a kid.
