I'm wondering if you guys hold onto the bicentennials you find. Here someone bought a roll ($10 FV) for over 17$.. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1976-Kenned...em19e6f1a18eI have started pulling them out (they are the most common date from what I've gone through) and saving them. I'm thinking about selling some of them for a profit! |

I keep them, but then again, I don't see a whole lot of halves.

Yea I got ya. When I get a box of halves, I will usually pull 3-4 rolls worth of bicentennials, sometimes more.

I don't keep them. Even at that price, the seller will net at most 2$ after ebay, PayPal , and shipping |

2$ return on investment isn't bad! Seeing as they are extremely common.

Yea, there are times it's even more of a profit, that was just one I got through a quick look.

About a year ago I my wife brought home 17 rolls of solid BU drummer boys. After I searched them for 40%'ers, (none), I threw an ad on Craigslist for best offer over FV. Not a single offer, so off to the coin counter they went.

At one time I had 5+ rolls of circulated Bicentennial quarters that I convinced my mom to save from the pop machine at her store back in the early 2000's.
I saved 2 rolls and the rest went to the bank. Also in that deposit were 3 or 4 rolls of Delaware quarters.
She tends to save the dollar coins, half dollars and $2 bills that come through the register.

Well that auction is only charging a buck over face and 99% of people call a clad Ike a Silver dollar. My LCS says unless they are proofs they are worth face value, Give it 150-200 years and you might have something worth while.

But the auction is bidding up. I will be curious to see what it ends at.

Cut an Ike into the shape of Elvis, place on ebay, and you'll get bids to the moon! When I listen to LED ZEPPELIN...so do my neighbors...

I used to not save them because of their high mintage numbers but then I realized that I wasn't finding many in rolls so I started saving them.

I save the BU ones, and toss the rest back. The halves and Ikes are no more rare than any other date from the 70s, and the quarters are only rare because of extreme rates of hoarding. I was manning a cash register during the "great change dump" of 2008-2009, and I saw about 4-5 *per day* during the peak months. They aren't rare and will probably never be valuable.
