The nice teller at the bank set these aside for me. She helps me when stuff that "looks different" comes in. I have not been collecting dollar coins (other than Ikes) and know nothing about these. Any advice on opening these rolls, not opening, keeping, dumping them? Thanks!  |

These aren't mint issued rolls, so they don't add any value. Uncirculated specimens should be worth a bit over face value, but good luck getting anyone to pay that. I'd open them up, save the absolute best and spend the rest.

I'd say hold onto one role of each George and John for a rainy day, maybe the premium will go up before it rains  might be fifty years thou  |

Thanks for the advice! Sounds like one of those World Monetary Reserve Exchange deals.....

I'd open them all, look for no edge lettering errors, keep the best looking ones and dump the rest.

They're just circulation coins machine rolled from those dollars issued in mint bags. The coindition should'nt be too impressive.
Error searching, perhaps?

 I always spend my Pres, Ike, Sac, and S.B. dollars at the local corner store because the young clerks always get a kick out of them since they've never seen 'em before. Record responses: Presidential and Sacagawea: "Ooh, these is gold?" No. Ike and Sacs: "I'ma have to get me somma these!" |

I don't see these going up in value much for a long time.I have some rolls put away myself.You should open them and look for errors/varieties and high grade and then spend the rest,IMHO. John1  |

With billions of these held in government vaults I doubt there will ever be any real value.

If these are uncirculated, you have a shot at some Godless dollars here. I'd pop 'em open and check for missing edge lettering. Last I heard, Washington goes for $50-75 and Adams goes for a bit more.
I'm very curious as to the inside-out wrapper. Never seen one like that before.

I opened the "inside-out" wrapper. It was a mix of presidential, SBA, and SAC. I am conflicted on opening the others.... I see some have sold recently on ebay for $10-$15 a roll above FV. I guess I see it as making an almost guaranteed $40 off selling them or opening them for the chance at making more than face. What do you think? I wish I was into the dollar coins, but I just haven't connected with collecting them for some reason. |

If you can get $10 over FV, you'll pay about $6 in paypal and ebay fees. Don't offer free shipping or you'll be in the hole. |
