Mayflower2020;I was saying what errors might be found. I don't know of any errors so far for this coin.

Gotcha. I wasn't sure if there was a notable error for this coin. I have a bunch of mint rolls for the Westward Journey Nickel Series, 09 Lincolns, and some Half Dollars that I don't think I could ever open. So you are braver than me. My theory is that once it's unwrapped, it cant be rewrapped the same way. (unless you are selling "unsearched" rolls on ebay that have clearly been searched. The ones that always have Indian Head cents or VDB pennies on the ends and then common 50s cents for the other 48 coins. :) |

There is always the possibility of a "missing edge letting".

Woo Hoo! I got a roll of Reagan Presidential dollars from my credit union recently and it made my day. |

The reverse design is excellent. However it would be better if they ditched $1 and used ONE DOLLAR and made the Statue of Liberty a touch smaller as to not have parts of it so close to the edge.

Perhaps it was given to someone as a gift, and the recipient did not realize that they were worth more than face value. |

That is another plausible scenario. |

They are sold by the box, bag or roll. You will pay a premium price for them, for instance a 25-coin roll is $32.95 and you still need to add shipping. |

I was unaware of this. Is there a list I can look over for the Presidential dollars that aren't suppose to be in circulation? I actually have a couple Reagan's myself. Not a whole roll but a few. Thanks in advance for the info! |

They were mostly intended to sit in government vaults and never see the light of day.

Silver dollars from the 1930's and before were mostly used as a store of value to back paper money but dollar coins minted since the 1970's were intended as either circulation coinage or collector pieces. The metal they are minted from these days has too little intrinsic value to be worth storing in vaults as backing for paper money, the ones that are in vaults are only there because there is nothing else to do with them due to low demand. Eliminating the paper dollar would create a demand for them and they would enter circulation and become useful. |
