Best (cheapest) way to collect copper nickel Ike dollars?

I really like big coins. I'm interested in getting a couple of rolls of ordinary Eisenhower dollar coins. I have struck out at the local banks, and see them for around 2x face value on ebay sometimes. Is waiting for a better deal on ebay my best bet? Would trading some of my 90% silver get me a better deal? Is there a good way to get rolls without markup?

Any info helps, thank you!

I'm not selling, I have no website, this is not an advertisement or AI. Steal my idea if you please!

I replied to a post a week or two ago about discs getting stuck in trees. It got me motivated, which is rare 🤣. One week later I have 21 slingshots (3 were defective out of a 24 pack), and 100 bouncy balls.

I'm looking for your opinions if you think a slingshot is a good idea for getting your disc out of trees, or not!

I already tested different projectiles made of metal, clay, foam, glass, and finally rubber. Bouncy balls seem to be the best choice for size, weight, and affordability. Other choices damaged my test disc, or wouldn't move it. I would prefer something biodegradable like acorns, but those aren't in season right now.

I also tested 3 different slingshots, and attempted to carve my own (that was silly). My first slingshot was too narrow for a bouncy ball, and sometimes the ball hit the wooden part when you let go. After that, I realized I also didn't want a hunting style "wrist rocket" that might upset people at the community parks I disc golf at, so i ended up with the unassuming toy style slingshot in the photo, with colorful bouncy balls!

What do you think? Any suggestions? I'm hoping in the near future I could sell them with a pack of 5 bouncy balls, or even better trade for discs here on reddit. If people like them, maybe I can improve the idea more...

My father gave this to me about 10 years ago. He probably had it for a while as well. I came across this sub recently, and was wondering how an old rep compares to what is being made recently! Rate my watch on a scale of 1-10? Point out its flaws please!

I'm new here, sorry.

Looking for info on how (or when to expect) to get a 41mm oyster with the new colorful jubilee dial. Not total shit quality. Is it going to be more expensive when available, or standard stuff from the chinatime wiki apply?

Any suggestions?

-love this sub, it reminded me I have an old shitter somewhere in a box, gotta go look for it!

I like the colors, any idea what they are called?

Collected from my gravel driveway after the top layer of little rocks wash away.

This may sound silly to anyone who lives in a rural area, but would anyone, or has anyone bought a rough cut slingshot stick to make their own? I have a saw, and lots of American Hophornbeam trees, nicknamed ironwood, because they are insanely strong and dense. Also maple and white oak if softer wood is preffered.

Would I be stupid to put in the effort, and try to sell them for $10-$20 plus shipping? Is that too expensive? Do a ton of people already do this, and i should give up now 🤔
