Hi There,
Since they are not used in commerce and haven't been since the late seventies, they are scarce unless a bank customer rolls them up and deposits them.
On the rarest of occasions, a counting company that supplies a bank may have some Ikes in their stock.
It almost never happens but try to ask your bank to ask their coin delivery company, like Brinks or Wells Fargo, for example about the availability of large sized dollars. Explain to your bank that you are specifically looking for only Ikes or you'll end up with a ton of SBAs or Sacs, or Pres dollars.
Next, ask your bank to call you if another customer brings any in. Let your bank know that you would like them.
Next, All banks hate to keep Ikes in their inventories. They usually have tp pile up 500.00 or 1000.00 worth before they can ship them out. Call any banks near you. Tell them you are not a customer but you are lòoking for Large Sized dollar coins. You may have to explain what an Eisenhower dollar is since some of the tellers are too young to know what they are.
Be prepared to take a large amount of them if you find any.
Good luck,
Bill O'
