<p>[QUOTE="chascat, post: 2524176, member: 76792"]Why do you believe there are any bags of these? Are they date specific? are they Mint bags or are they circulated? The circulated Ikes I,ve gotton from banks are mostly from old slot machines and are only worth a buck. They make good poker chips but forget finding a collectable one in the bunch. The lowest price Ike I want on E- Bay is $149.00. Several others I need range from $250-to $2500.00 and none of these are better than MS66, and a couple of these are 65,s. I,d love to collect them in 67 for the clads, but my pockets are not deep enough. If I wanted better MS Silvers, I need only the 69,s. As for proofs, only 70,s will improve my set. If I were to only collect the finest grades, it would set me back $80,000-100,000. I,ll pass on these for now...need to win a lottery first! I don,t think there,s any limit how high these finest coins can fly, as the pops are so very low.</p><p>Compare these pops to Morgan series pops, and the Ikes appear to be extremely under valued.
