Bank Bag Dilema

I'll buy it for $55!

I'll give ya a bidding war. $62 for it. lol.

Just kidding of course since you can't sell under 250 posts. But seriously, it would be worth opening it yourself. how fun would that be.

Is this a sealed $50 face value bag from 1972? Is it sown shut with thread? If so it sounds like it could be a mint sealed bag of cents all BU and dated 1972 P. That means there is 100 BU rolls in the bag. The greysheet bid price per roll is $2.25. So that makes the bag worth $225 just at the BU roll bid price. Typically sealed mint bags sell for over this price. I could see this bag bringing much more than this in an auction. First, I would suggest determining if this is a sealed mint bag. You could start by posting pictures here. Next I would look at it as would you prefer to search the cents or have the money for the sealed bag? I think most of us on this forum would prefer to search them but think about the possible value of the sealed bag before you open it.

Of course if this is not a mint sealed bag then the value is much less.

In regards to the offer...I want a pic of the money ( preferably in unsearched boxes of pennies) and your sister. May be interested if she is a "DD"O..lol

I'll give you $150 for it and I'll pick it up from your mom.

unholyroller, sorry I should have added a or something to let you know I was joking. I realize you can't sell yet because of your post count.

Go get the bag from you mom and have fun w/ the search. Keep us posted on what you find.

I agree that it is important to determine if it's a sealed mint bag or not. Obviously as you are finding out, there are lots of droolers out there at your fortunate situation (including me). If it's not a sealed mint bag, I would go through them with your Mom. Let us know what you find!
