Ikes to search

I just got a $1000 bag of Ikes from the bank today and haven't even opened it yet but it looks promising already!!!!!

Good luck, keep us posted on the results!

 

Cool, let us know how it goes. A Morgan or Peace might be in there too.

 

Looks like at least 1 Morgan in there. Have fun!

 

Dang...where's your bank!

 

There's a good Ike searching thread on another coin forum... forget which. But good find already.

 

Man, I wish I could find a bank that would order bags of Ikes for me.

Then again, it's not like I've spent much effort looking.

 

From what I understand, banks are able to order, they need to specify big dollars on their forms (write in). Probably also talk to the supplier first. Of course it's dependant on Loomis/Guarda/whomever having received 1000+ big dollars. That well runs dry quickly I'm guessing.

Hard part is convincing the vault teller that this is a real thing.

 

Just posting so I get updates on this thread

 

good luck, I have never asked if my bank can order but I may ask now.

 

It took some doing to find a vault manager that was willing to be persistent enough to get them for me, most don't know how and will tell you it's not possable but...

 

Here's my score for today:

1 1881-CC !!, 1 1899-S, 1 1922, 1 1923-S, a Mexican Silver 5 Pesos Ano de Carranza 1859-1959, a 1971-S 40% Silver Proof, and lastly....a Silver Legacy $1 casino token. Oh yeah, and I was shorted $4, boo hoo!

 

Dayum! Looks to be about VF, which would make it approx $300 coin. It's real, right?

Usually when someone finds a key date around here, it's an older Jefferson nickel that's worth $5.

 

@vintagemintage, do you live near a Federal Reserve bank by chance? I have heard that makes a difference in whether or not you can get bags of Ikes...

 

Great finds!

Congrats.

 

Yes I do. I never thought about my proximity to a FRB as a factor but it makes a lot of sense.

 

wow! WOW !! WOWWWWEEE!! whoo hooo a 1881CC and I would grade that higher than VF (from the pic anyway) super nice. Is that your best ever find? it would be for me!
Congrats!!!!

 

All I have to say is WOW

oh and do this... @19Lyds
