I found sealed 2009-D roll of Tyler Presidential dollars on ebay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sealed-Roll...:RTQ:US:1123But, something didn't seam right. First, what is the World Reserve Monetary Exchange? That seal sure looks fancy though. The bigger red flag is that they're selling the "roll" for $20. All of the small dollar rolls that I've seen have 25 coins. If I can buy them for $20 I'll play this game all day long. However, being somewhat smart, I decided to ask the seller how many coins are in the roll. Answer: 12. |

Funny. They have 2015 bullion silver eagles on sale marked down from $79 to $59.

Go find yourself a Littleton add for all of the President dollars for face and take advantage of the deal.
Don't feel obligated to stay with their "coins on approval" unless you want to.

Your best bet is to find the Mint roll or bank rolls (earlier years has bank rolls) of these coins at or close to face value and search through them. Good luck.

Well, I should mention that I decided long ago to only collect this series in proof.
Since I am a Dansco filler, it made the most sense to collect them one per year (Dansco 7186) and fill them from the proofs sets that I was already buying. I saw no point in collecting P/D/S since the date and mint mark on the edge, not visible when in the album.

I bought a Silver Eagle for $20 at a coin show. It was in uncirculated condition. Now I think that is a pretty good deal considering the spot market price for silver is about 16 bucks an ounce. I see that Silver Eagles have become collectable with older ones going for much more than 2015 coins. You know I like those Franklin half dollars. You are getting 90% silver and a pretty coin for a very reasonable price. Too bad Gold Eagles are not as affordable. I see the Red Book price at about $1550 for the Gold Eagle. What are they really selling for? You can buy a Saint-Gaudens for $1650 for early years before 1926. |

Get the Cheerios first if u can afford it and let them all fall in from there It's on my list. I'd like to see the one I buy in person though. I bought the Goodacre Presentation version off ebay and it showed up yesterday. It's an interesting coin with a mintage of only 5,000. I got it and 12 other Sacagawea's for $620. Each is in an ICG holder. The Goodacre Presentation version has her actual signature and the model's signature on the outside of the holder. The other 12 holders are for 2000 and 2001 coins. Six have the reverse designer's actual signature on the slab label and six have the model's signature on the slab label. I may have paid a little more than the Goodacre Presentation coin is worth alone in the holder, but I think having the signatures is pretty historical. I pretty much believe in buying the coin, not the holder, but these are sort of exceptions because the holders have autographs. |

I'm not big on that kind of thing but the Goodacre Presentation coins actually represent value for money in my opinion. Actual provenance instead of some stupid First Strike designation. They should stand the test of time.

In addition to the provenance (and more important in my opinion), they are an actual variety. It looks to me like a non-cameo proof, but I understand they were struck once instead of twice. Put it beside a mint state or a proof and you can immediately tell the difference. The 5000 mintage makes it a key to the series. The odd thing is that the Cheerios dollar is said to have a mintage of something less than 5500, yet it goes for more than ten times as much. People either spent the Cheerios dollars and they're now stuck in banks somewhere or they have them stashed in a drawer somewhere and don't know what they have. As more get discovered, I suspect the Cheerios values will decrease.
