What to do with hoarded dollar coins?

This forum is for discussing hunting and collecting US and Canadian circulation Silver Bullion Coins, other types of minted bullion, and other types of precious and base metal investments other than Bullion Pennies and Nickels.

I bought $300 face of Ikes from a RC poster about 2 months ago. There were a few clunkers that I spent or used for tips. The others I keep for weekend poker games. They're better than plastic poker chips and much more dramatic when you throw a couple of them into the pot.

With $2600 face, I could have a game of epic proportion. Deal me in.

I'd look over the Pres $ coins for errors and send them into circulation. A quick check of the weekly Grey Sheet shows that most are worth just a couple cents above face value. Why do you think the US Mint is selling $250 face of Presidential dollars for $250 plus $4.95 for shipping? Definitely a loss leader in many ways.
