ns2a New Member United States 9 Posts	Posted 07/05/2012 3:23 pm I collect or I guess "stack" 90% silver coins, mostly quarters. I try to buy nicer quarters, not so much dates, just nice quarters that havesilver value. What do you guys think about buying bank rolled coins? I have a chance to pick up 20 rolls of quarters, I think all from 1964. So, nothing rare. Do I keep them in the original rolls? Or do I buy them and open them? If I keep in the original rolls my concern is I'll worry there is clad in there. I mean, couldn't these be easily faked? But if I open them, I'd think there's some value in having bank rolled coins? I found this topic: https://goccf.com/t/114806&whichpage=5 but it seems he was selling "possible" rare coins, where I'm simply buy pretty common silver coins. Any help is appreciated.

Around here, junk sells at spot. And common, but nice silver coins sell at spot. And I didn't say I was buying at a premium. I asked if they were worth more in the original wrappers untouched or am I risking NOT opening them not having a full roll of silver. Report this Post to the Staff

So I say, open them up and look at them. Plus the old paper wrappers have sulfur in them and will tarnish the silver. Edited by wquinn 07/06/2012 08:56 am Report this Post to the Staff
