I have locally sold common circulated Ikes for $1.10-1.25 each. I have also seen some locally advertised for up to $4 each . I seriously doubt the sellers have sold any of their Ikes for this outlandish price.

Like enamel said, Ike varieties are where the added value exists.

Just bought some penny's nickles and quarters from the bank, and the first 4 nickel tubes were all 40's and 50's including three 40 percenters. Nothing of high value, but filled in some vacant slots in my nickel books.

 

Found a stack of bicentennial Ikes today, and noticed something odd for the first time. On some of the dollars the edge of the moon is visible to the side of the Liberty Bell, and on others it is absent. I know the "correct" version is supposed to have the edge there, as it is on the proofs, and I know there are two different types of Eisenhowers, based off the lettering. All the dollars I got are the same lettering type (type 2) and are all from the Philadelphia mint. I couldn't find this listed anywhere as a known variant, so I thought I ask if any of you have come across this.

 

I'm not sure I'm understanding what you mean. Show us the whole coin please.

 

I highlighted the area that I am referencing, along with a picture of two of them side by side.

 

I'm no expert, but it looks to me that on the one you are not seeing the edge of the moon on looks like a weak strike. I think it is there but just very hard to see, Compare the 2 coins. The details on the one on the left are crisp and stand out. The one on the right is much less detailed. Compare the E pluribus Unum and you can see the difference. Also look at the moon, Details on one(left) are much more distinct then the one on the right. I'm new here and not an expert, but I do have a lot of IKES. Wait for others to chime in.

 

War nickels are 35% silver.

 

About $35 in halves... one 40%.

 

actually the 1964 P was struck as a proof

 

True. I forgot about that one.

 

Found yesterday looking through 5 rolls of Small Dollar Coins.

 

Two banks had a total of $30 MWR and $120 CWR halves. The $120 was another CRHer's dump. I haven't opened the MWRs yet, so I have hope for something collectible! I will keep at it because 'tis the season for coin collections to be cashed-in to buy gifts.

 

Picked up $100 CWR dimes, $40 CWR nickels, and $10 CWR cents.

Here are the results from the dimes and nickels:

 

Cool coins, especially the Central African States ones.

 

This was one of the CWRs of halves I picked up yesterday. I didn’t write on the wrapper, the dumper must have...Major buzz kill! Silver sniping teller?!?

The$30 in MWR halves held 1 impaired 99S Cu-Ni clad proof, so not quite a total skunk.

 

Searched 2 Loomis boxes of halves. 1st box had 1 x 1967. 2nd box had 6 x 40%ers! My best box since August. I pick up 3 more Loomis boxes tomorrow! HH everyone.

 

found this lurking in a loomis roll tonight! First one I ever found!

 

Can someone recommend a microscope or lighted loupe or lighted magnifying glass for viewing the details on coins? I've tried the USB microscopes (both models) from Amazon, and they're pretty bad quality-control wise and I've had to return them.
