I was at the bank today looking to get some dollars for roll hunting, and the teller told me that a man had cashed in 21 rolls of Sacagawea dollars that morning. So naturally I bought them. All 2000 / 2001 except 1 roll of 2005. Now I'm not sure what to do with them. Should I cherry pick them or leave them as is? |

Sealed uncirculated rolls?
Keep them as is. You can cherry pick years from now.

I'd say open them! I don't think you can get too much out of them if you sell them as-is now, and there are so many of them out there that I don't think they will appreciate in value, except for the coins of ultra-high grades. Its also a lot of money just to hang on to, if that's your collecting money. Look 'em over for high grades and errors/varieties

Pretty sure (let someone else check me on this please) that 2005 was NIFC. I would find that out for sure and if the answer is yes, split the roll, seal each coin separately in a flip or Air-Tite, and sell 'em.

I would save them. At least for now. And I wouldn't open the 2005. Those weren't intended for circulation.

I have collected sac mint rolls since 2000 and have approx 50 plus rolls in my safe. The 2000 mint rolls are worth less today then I paid for them back in 2000. If you have the actual mont rolls and paid only face value for ,that wasn't a bad deal. I have many rolls still in the white mint box never unopened. I will probably keep those but trade the rest for some silver which I believe will have the better chance to increase in value.

What about the 2000 P error coin that sells for $90K- some kind of strike or tail feather change- 11 known to exist? Also supposedly the 2007 D has an error with lettering on the side (meant for a Presidential dollar)only one of which is known to exist? |

I also keep and save Sacagawea mint rolls; usually saving a couple of rolls for the future whenever I can get them for face value. Its my position that the odds of finding a super coin is higher than my throwing a pebble at a race car going 100 mph. Fun to speculate and try but not very likely to happen. If it did happen I would be extremely happy at my good fortune.
Do I have an unusual coin in one of my rolls, I suppose so but in order to find such a coin means that I would have to be an expert and should be working as coin grader.
I keep looking but keep missing out. Such is luck.

I'd get a small dollar dansco album and fill it up with some of the nicer ones and let them tone over a number of years.... also try to keep maybe a roll per date sealed and in as much of a temperature and climate controlled space as possible... and by all means spend or sell the rest.

Chrisx: The 2000 that you are retiring to is probably the 'mule' with the obverse of the quarter and reverse of the eagle on the Sacagawea. I believe they were struck on quarter planchets, but could have been a dollar. Also in 2000, General Mills put a Sac 2000 dollar and a cent in boxes of Cheerios cereal, to celebrate the new millennium. The difference between these Sac dollars are in the tail feathers. The difference escapes me at the moment. They command high prices, as many were taken out of the packaging and spent. And by the way  |
