Presidential Dollar Rolls

String and Sons of Harrisburg PA is the company that manufactures the paper that probably 95% of all of the rolling machines in the country use for rolling coins.

Yup it does not say weather it is a P or D. You can tell most of the time by where you live and what your bank normally gets. East cost would be P and West coast would be D.

You can ask your bank what mint they are. Depending on what part of the country you live in the coins are shipped to the bank from the certain mints. The bank staff should know which mint they buy their coins from.

But twenty years from now if I am buying he rolls I don' want to take your word for it so you have to open them, and now that they are open, they are no longer an unopened roll and potentially worth less. Especially if the first buyer passes after they are opened.

And the banks order from their main banks which order from the local Fed bank ot the Mint. Now NORMALLY the particular Fed Bank will be supplied by a particular mint, but if the Fed doesn't have a supply they CAN get a supply from another Fed bank which may be a different mintmark. This is especially true for cities ocated close to Fed boundarys. Soonce again the only way to know is to open he roll.(Now once you open one from a box the others from that box will USUALLY be the same. Do you see how nothing is really certain?)

So you don't sell or buy "unsearched" Rolls

How about if you had unopened rolls Of Washington or Adams that could be smooth edge. I believe both of them get a premium by being "unsearched"

They could, but I would not expect it. If I sold them, I would be reluctant to "advertise" this possibility. I do not believe in hype selling, it goes against my better judgment.

The truth is that my desire to see the coins for myself would override any profit motive, real or not. I want to know what's inside! Since I would have not paid a premium for them, what do I have to lose?

In the first year of the Presidential dollars....my bank of course was getting all "D" rolls, as per usual. Well, then, out of the blue, for reasons they did not even know, they got all "P" mints for a certain President (3rd or 4th). They were mystified and astounded and happy about it, and said it doesn't happen very often.......but it goes to show that....."Life is like a box of chocolates....you never know "for sure" what you're going to get". !!.......

So, twenty years from now, if you sell a supposed "D" mint roll to a person who's expecting a "P" mint roll, or vice-versa....and it turns out to be the wrong Mint.....well......I guess he'll just have to get his money back from ya !.....(which really is not a big deal I guess....a hassle yeah....but no biggie)(I don't really feel that my integrity would be compromised in that situation.....just a little embarrassed & apologetic maybe) IF you don't want to take this risk....then ya gotta open them to find out.
Pristine unopened rolls MAY/CAN/DO have a premium sometimes, and certainly that potential remains for the future with these, but it's your choice on what you want to do.

Exactly.....however this is not the reason for the "premium" that I would be looking for or pay extra for or continue to save my rolls for. Looking for potential errors in unsearched unciculated bank rolls is the wrong reason to be interested in "unopened rolls". More so, the "condition" or even some who like the "US Mint paper wrapper" as the reason to collect a roll and have it for whatever that value might attain. To go from untouched hands right into an album or folder should be the main reason.
But with the Presidential dollars.....most of them will be uncirculated anyway so...........might not be worth it.....or it might be twenty years from now.......especially after they've done away with the paper dollar and THEN EVERYONE BEGINS TO CIRCULATE THEIR DOLLAR COINS !!............
That might be reason enough to save these rolls and KEEP them unopened.......but yeah......NOT as a selling point to "look for errors"......IMHO
