Possible Strong Ike Demand (Northern Kentucky)
Posted: Wed Jun 12, 2019 11:09 pmI just came back home from a trip to the Cincinnati, OH area. As the Cincinnati airport is located in Hebron, KY (northern KY), I decided to stop by a few banks and Coinstars on the way to the airport.
At one bank (sorry- don't remember the bank or city, but it was between Cincy and the airport) a teller told me something interesting. I asked for half dollars and "the big dollar coins" as I often do. His words were essentially the following:
"Good luck getting the Ike dollars. They are really hard to get. I have 2-3 people calling per day for those. When I get them some people even offer premiums for me to set them aside until they can get here. They go REALLY QUICKLY whenever I get them." And yes, he used the term Ike dollars.
So, for anyone in that area, if you have some Ike dollars, you might be able to move them and get a decent premium. Alternatively, if you are looking to buy them, you might consider getting some in a different area or while traveling if possible or even from this site! Good luck to the Ike folks out there.
P.S. I also went to PA, WV and IN on the same trip.
