carnold744 Valued Member United States 415 Posts	Posted 02/08/2015 8:39 pm I recently had a customer bring in this roll of nickels at the bank I work at. I bought it out of my drawer and now would like advice as to what to do with it. Just keep it rolled and save it? Break it open and look for nice examples? Sell it on ebay? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I typically just collect individual coins, so I don't have a whole lot of experience with mint rolls. Report this Post to the Staff

denco7 Pillar of the Community United States 2543 Posts	Posted 02/08/2015 8:58 pm I would keep them in the roll. They are not rare and any added value would come from the mint wraps. I believe the ones currently on ebay are only going for $4. Nice keepsake and who knows into the future ? Report this Post to the Staff

coinsearcher83 Pillar of the Community United States 1358 Posts	Posted 02/08/2015 9:10 pm Does it have a special US Mint wrapper or a normal paper/shrinkwrap wrapper like any other roll of nickels? Example of the US Mint wrapper: http://www.little-bearcoins.com/upl...213_orig.jpg Report this Post to the Staff
carnold744 Valued Member United States 415 Posts	Posted 02/08/2015 9:14 pm Found this picture on google of that the wrapper looks like, too lazy to upload a pic. Not the Buffalo one I have, obviously, but exact same wrapper otherwise. Report this Post to the Staff
denco7 Pillar of the Community United States 2543 Posts	Posted 02/08/2015 9:21 pm Yes, that is not a mint wrap. That is a third party wrap which makes it worth even less than a mint wrapper Report this Post to the Staff

ratio411 Pillar of the Community United States 1208 Posts	Posted 02/09/2015 1:16 pm Still probably has some nice coins locked up in there. You could break it open and enjoy. You probably wouldn't pay for your time trying to conserve and sell off the really nice ones. Probably better just to leave it rolled and know that you protected it for some future generation to enjoy. Just a thought. Report this Post to the Staff
Dar Pillar of the Community United States 1476 Posts	Posted 02/09/2015 7:51 pm Sounds like a good deal to me. I just picked up the 6 coin, P/D/S set at the local flea market for 2 dollars US with COA. I will have to keep a look out for the rolls now. Report this Post to the Staff
