Ike dollar found in a bag of pennies

Postby krazykoinguy » Thu Oct 01, 2015 12:24 am

I returned several bags of pennies yesterday on one of those self serve coin machines at a local bank. When I poured one of the bags in, an Ike dollar fell out. It must have been stuck to the inside of the bag when I searched it because I would have surely noticed it before. It is a 1977 Ike, not a big deal but I never found a dollar coin in a bag of pennies before. I was just wondering if anyone else has.

If it was an Ike, it is a dollar coin, not a half dollar.
Former stock broker w/ ~20 yrs. at one company. Spoke with 100k+ people and traded a lot (long, short, options, margin, extended hours, etc.).

NOTE: ANY stocks I discuss, no matter how compelling, carry risk- often
substantial. If not prepared to buy it multiple times in modest amounts without going overboard (assuming nothing really wrong with the company), you need to learn more about the market and managing risk. Also, please research covered calls (options) and selling short as well.

I stand corrected, it is an Ike dollar coin. I guess I should stop drinking while I sort!
