Title: WTB - Eisenhower $1 coins
Post by: Harvs on October 26, 2020, 10:53:31 AM
Does anyone have 50-100 $1 coins they want to sell? I know I can buy them on Feebay but damn, $150 for $100 worth.

Thought I'd check here..

Thanks!

Yeah, with a $1 coin in/out setup.

I have a functional quarter coin hopper what else would be needed besides the bigger chrome insert?

While $150 is over market value, If those have Silver content they could be going up in value.
With the stock market in a bit of a foray the safe haven has typically been gold stocks.
Gold however is reaching new highs but the gold stocks have not responded in the same way they have in the past.
Bask in 2000 I bought Yamana gold for $10ish fast forward, its been as low as $2.80 and now trades in the mid $7.00's
The Silver rush is apparently the reason why..... more investment in silver is taking away the gold action.

Day traders love volatility and there is more action on Silver.


Have you tried any coin shops ? while they do tend to overvalue their stock - they would likely be under the $150 mark

Others know more but you'd need a $1 hopper, $1 CC and $1 coin head and proper harnesses to go with. 25c is different, smaller.

Coin Head would be bigger.
$1 coins typically used a CC-33 vs a CC-16 comparator
the coin optic would need its guides moved (no parts required).
Different wheel for the hopper.
- The hopper wheel lifts the coin so it can be dispensed. A quarter hopper raises the coin too high so the coin would not pass the hopper optic.

Many banks have dollar coins sitting in their vaults, simply because most people don’t like using them for making actual purchases. It’s worth checking with your bank, or even a bank at which you’re not a customer, to see if you can trade your dollar bills for dollar coins. Many coin collectors purchase boxes of dollar coins at a time in attempts to find the exact coins they’re after.

I have one of my S2000's setup for Ike Dollars. I also purchased a bunch of nice golden tokens from ebay that work well. They are the same exact dimensions as the Ike dollars.

For large denomination coin (silver/Ike dollars) there is a coin guide which installs beneath the coin head, item #17 in the attached drawing. I'm not sure how necessary it is but I installed it. Also, you must reverse the large coin comparator and set the clips correctly. The attached PDF may help you.

Usually large coin hopper bowls had a plastic space between the hopper and the bowl. This allowed more space for the larger coins or tokens to drop down to ingage the coin wheel. The bowl springs and screws had a steel spacer too.

I went to my bank and they just had about $140 in Ike dollars (which are copper/nickel, no silver anything after 1970) that someone had just turned in a day earlier.

I called every bank around and most people had no clue what I was even talking about. So no luck around here but RB saved the day for me, again!

Thanks Ronald!  :wave:

A friend of mine sold his stash of Ikes for 1.05 each.  I regret not buying his stash of 300 coins.

I’ve managed to put together several hundred Ike coins for my S+ .
Nothing is better than the sound of those big coins dropping into the coin tray!

He's one cool buddy!  :cool_thumb_up:
I wish my hearing was better though ( had German Measles in 1962)  because on the telephone, as an upstate New Yorker, I can't understand a bloody word of these southern guys!  :rotfl:

He is a good dude.. Years n years ago I would just say 'yeah, yeah' when I couldn't make out what he was saying.... But now, after years of chats, I can understand his twang even with the phone on mute - Clear. as. day.

Totally agree! I LOVE that sound when I cash out my Top Dollar, and hear that "chunk chunk chunk chunk chunk, chunk chunk chunk chunk" of those big 'ol wagon wheels dropping into the tray!!

I used to love the sound of those $5 tokens back in the early 90s. I didn't own slots then. I just rented them. Those $5 monsters could make or break you quick.
