I hope you find the info you are looking for here.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Trying to answer your question, there are two types of Ikes that you need to identify.&nbsp; It appears that you have both types.&nbsp; They are either clad or silver.&nbsp; Most clad Ikes don&#039;t have a value other than the face value.&nbsp; Depending on the quality of the coins, some dealers will pay maybe $1.10-1.20 per coin.&nbsp; This is what my dealer pays.&nbsp; He will sell them for 1.25-1.50, once again depending on quality.&nbsp; Of course, the real &quot;clean&quot; ones, the ones without too many marks and scratches on Ikes face and the rest of the coin, can get a few more dollars.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The ones in the blue envelopes are affectionately called &quot;Blue Ikes&quot; because they are in the blue envelopes.&nbsp; There are ones in brown boxes and they are called &quot;Brown Ikes&quot;.&nbsp; Those are proof coins.&nbsp;&nbsp; The ones you have are 40% silver so there is value above face.&nbsp; These typically sell between $4-6 each.&nbsp; My local dealer will buy them for about $2.50.&nbsp; These coins are considered &quot;collector&quot; uncs.&nbsp; These are uncirculated coins, which were specially packaged in these blue envelopes and made for collectors.&nbsp; What is special about these coins is that some of the major varieties of the series can be found with these coins.&nbsp; The 71 S/S is big find as well as the 71S Peg Leg variety.&nbsp; So if you have a few of these, I would recommend doing some more research on them if you decide to get rid of them to make sure you don&#039;t have one of these varieties.&nbsp; One of the best places to start is the Ikegroup.org.&nbsp; Good luck and if you have any more questions, please feel free to ask.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
