stopped by one bank that has been good for silver. there is usually a crabby lady there who won't give me any halves (I don't have an account). she was gone so I was able to get some. 4-40%, 16 2004! A solid roll if you count the NIFC.
Next stop is my regular bank. Convinced the vault teller to order a bag of Ikes for me. I'll let you know how that turns out. On top of that, she initally said the only thing she can specify is new coins or old coins! 2009s here I come! Also picked up a box of nickels for wtshtf. for all i know they are all 2009.

sometimes Ikes are neighbors with Morgans and Peace. The Ikes made in San Francisco have a nice silvery ring to them also. |

| I asked my bank today about Ikes. She didn't seem to know if she could order them but told me she would look into it. Are they orderable? |

theoretically yes but only by certain banks that have a certain type of ordering system in place set up with the fed. i'm not aware of it ever being accomplished but its in a fed document that its possible. |

Ikes come in $1000 bags. You don't mind if they mix some older dollars in there with them, so you?  |
If your percentages are low.. just sort more. If your percentages are high.. just sort more.

| I have ordered bags of 1000 Ikes twice. Once, I've gotten a 40%. Since the vault teller quit and they got a new one I've been out of luck. |
