<p>[QUOTE=&quot;heyimjason, post: 1487345, member: 36079&quot;]So... I went to the bank, asked if they had any &quot;big ol&#039; $1 Eisenhower coins&quot; (if I just say &quot;Eisenhower dollars&quot; or &quot;Ikes&quot; they start breaking out Sacajaweas for some reason).&nbsp;&nbsp; The lady said, &quot;Yeah, I&#039;ve got about a hundred.&quot;&nbsp;&nbsp; I explained that she probably was thinking about Kennedys.&nbsp; She went to the vault, came back, and plopped a damn bag of 100 Ikes in front of me!&nbsp;&nbsp; I dashed to the ATM (it wasn&#039;t my bank) and snatched &#039;em up.</p><p><br /></p><p>So... here&#039;s where I&#039;m confused.&nbsp; </p><p>I have a ton that contain no silver at all.&nbsp; No biggie.&nbsp; But - are those worth anything or should I just go around spending them?</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s the BIG question that no local coin shops can seem to friggin&#039; agree on:</p><p>Which ones, exactly, DO contain silver?&nbsp; I was under the impression that EVERY Ike from &#039;71-76 was 40% silver.&nbsp; No other regular circulated ones.</p><p>One guy told me that the bicentennials weren&#039;t silver, while the guy across the street from him told me they were silver.&nbsp; However, this guy says that not all of the 71-76ers are silver, while the guy back across the street says they ALL are 40% (except the bi&#039;s).</p><p><br /></p><p>So....&nbsp; could some explain this to me, very simply?</p><p>Which years contained silver - what was the silver content if other than 40% - and were those years ALL silver-content?&nbsp; I did read that there is no 1975 mark, and that it falls under the bicent strikes - so... do those have silver, or no?</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks a ton for reading, and thanks in advance for any help!!!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
