Ever find silver dollars mixed in with Ikes?

I have an old friend who once got five silver dollars (I think it was four Morgans and one Peace) mixed in with $20-30 of Ikes. Then I just ran into someone in the past couple of weeks who said he's gotten quite a few over the years when looking for Ikes. Now I'm starting to think they are on to something. Just curious-does anyone else have any related experiences they can share? I've seen quite a few Ikes over the years (probably 1000 or more in the past 8-10 years), but never a single silver dollar mixed in. I did get one 35% silver Ike, however.

I sold a bag of Ikes to someone one time that I later found out had 1 Peace Dollar in the mix. I bought the sealed bag to resell to him. I never checked it. I think the odds of finding 1 at a bank is low because the tellers would have swapped it out for themselves.

Got a Silver dollar from the bank two ways:

1. Bought 8 Ikes and there was one peace dollar in there. He counted them over and over again and never stopped to realize one of them was completely different.

2. Asked for half dollars- teller said she only had Two, said whatever I will take them. Hands me a Clad Kennedy and a peace dollar

True story

I once found an ASE in the ikes. I also have found maybe 10 silver dollars over the years.

Happened to me in the 80's. I asked the teller for ten 1 dollar coins, she gave me 9 Ikes and 1 very worn Peace dollar.

In the 80's it was much easier finding silver halves than silver dollars.

About a year or two ago, I was at the bank and the teller had 3 large dollars in her tray and she let me have them. 2 Ikes and a Morgan!

40% Ike was the best I have found. As far a silver dollars go.

I've only found one 40% ike in the wild. Never a peace or morgan. Oh wouldn't that be swell to find one.

12 50% silver 1971 BC Commemoratives in a batch of old dollars. I keep asking for anything old or unusual.
