Yeah, I learned the hard way myself, if they look like machine wrapped rolls look at a few of them to see if they have been opened yet. I did that when I went to a bank a week after getting some "machine wrapped" rolls that were opened then retaped. I noticed the same thing on these, and said to the teller that I did not want these as someone has already searched thru these and are trying to get rid of their rejects on some unsuspecting person and I wanted some unsearched rolls. I could tell by the way she got red in the face from being caught that she was the one who did the searching. She said that was all she had so I turned around and left without the rejects.

yeah Ive run through about 25 banks in the last few days and Ive already got a list of banks that have a collector working there you can just tell you get that quick no they don't bother looking lol I'm seeing a trend in going to the younger tellers and getting better responses from them

Ray, there must be several searchers in the Notre Dame part of the world. You may have to take a road trip to smaller towns. I am happy your son was not hurt too bad. Jim

yeah hes doing fine. 4 yrs old of course hes not going to let it slow him down. They never do. lol. By chance anyone notice the date on that dollar. It is a 40%. It didn't even register I've been looking at the halves to much lately.

Yeah, I live about 2 miles from Notre Dame and I'm an active CRH. You must be the one getting all my silver. LOL

Are you saying that it's silver because it was minted in 1971-1976? That doesn't make it silver. Though from the picture it looks like it could be silver. Does it have an S mintmark? Regardless, nice find, and I hope it is indeed silver.

Interesting i did not know that.

All of the silver "Ike" coins were minted at the San Francisco Mint in 1971, 1972, 1973, 1974, and 1976.

Getting my ikes out to see if any are silver now
lol
