Hey guys, sorry if this is a smidge off topic, but does anyone get or know how to get Eisenhower dollars in any quantity. Does Brinks or whomever still bag or box them or are they purely collector-supplied now?
As always, thanks!

I've only gotten loose ones on a hit-and-miss basis from bank tellers. |

Rarely from the Banks. I keep a few rolls around. Percentage wise they have the same face value percentage as a quarter, but they are bigger and impresive.
Coin dealers sell them for a bit over face value here is a good spot:

I occasionally get some from the banks. I save them up and when I get to 200 or so I sell them off for $122 per hundred. |

I would check for Eisenhower dollars from others on this site who might want to part with some. If that isn't an option you could check your local coin shop or private dealer. If you buy them from shops or private dealers you will probably pay a premium. Also be careful because only certain ones have silver content. |

Thanks everyone for the info and links! I know the metal content on these is not as competitive as some of the other things we all seem to collect, but just like the look and feel of them. Again, thanks all. |
