Picked up a roll of Thomas Jefferson dollars in a N.F.String and son INC. wrapper. So, I assume these are a Unc roll of dollars. Here is what I need. Your opinion on wether I should (A)crack the roll and search it (B) put it up for auction or (C) just hold it for a while. I trust what the members here have to say. So, what should I do oh great coin forum family? WOLF

Dates are on the edge of the coins so unless I open the roll I won't see the dates. Both ends show the obverse of the coins. I'm just wondering if the roll is worth more unopened or should I just open it and search the coins for varieties/errors. WOLF

They minted a lot of those coins, and on ebay they are not really fetching any premium. If you consider FV+Shipping+eBay Fees you'll probably lose money on the deal. I'd say crack that one open, you'll get $25 to spend, and you won't worry yourself the rest of your life thinking what if there was a error/variety coin in that roll. Also that way you should be able to sell all the MS65 or better ones for a premium. Of course, that's what I'd do. Do wait for a few more opinions, as I am no expert. |

A roll of Jefferson dollars is very common. You can buy a box of 10 directly from the US Mint website. Open them, search them and when you don't find anything worth more than $1, spend them. They have no collector value.

Thomas Jefferson dollars Wow I completely overlooked that first line. That's why I asked for the date. With ebay fees and such you'd more then likely break even. It's worth a shot but I'd rather spend em at Taco Bell for fun. |

I hope you do find something cool in there.
Also please don't return them to the bank, put them in circulation if you can, the ones you don't want. I rally want people to start using dollar coins. I think it would be cool, and its about time we have dollar coins around.

The last time I tried using a gold colored doller coin, the guy working the register thought it was fake. The gold color threw him off. |

I agree with the taking up space. I stopped collecting tolls of anything a long time ago. Quote:

I use the dollar coins almost on a daily basis, especially for tips, and so far no one objects or gives me a funny look, and only occasionally do I hear a "Wow! One of those, huh?" comment. My spread-the-golden-dollar campaign is working!

I have no problem using them.......but it will not do any good whatsoever "to" use them, with only a very small handfull doing so.
The only way to get any true/real "circulation" of these, is for the Govt. to do away with the $1.00 F.R.N.
Until then....they are slingshot ammo !
