I was a online coin dealer from 98 to 2002 Started selling other things after that.
But I have hundreds bu rolls left I can check on value of those.
But back then I purchased 4 sealed mint bags 1959 P 1959D 1960P 1960D
A local coin shop want to see them but not sure what I should ask for them
Any help will be appreciated.

melt value is almost $150, so I wouldn't accept an offer below that

Wow Santa Claus came early this year. Sweet bag. I would love to have a bag like that.Wow! 1960 bag of 1960 P cents sold for $277 on ebay in Sept., 2010 . Hard to say now. I would definitely go to one of the big auctions with this bag.Top auction houses like Heritage would give you an estimate on a price. |

All common dates but errors abound . I would say a price of $300 to $350 per bag would be fine unless you knew that the 1960-P bag was full of small dates .   |

 I think there is a limit, but I've insured flat rate packages in excess of 4K. |

Alpha33 is right. That is what they told me too. If it fits in the box,which is a good size,they will ship it. They told me whatever you can pack in the box. Maybe worth a trip to see how big the box is.
USPS Medium Flat Rate Box (top-loading): max weight: up to 70 lbs / dim: 11" x 8.75" x 6"
USPS Medium Flat Rate Box (side-loading): max weight: up to 70 lbs / dim: 14" x 12" x 3.5"
price or cost is not that much.

The problem That I can see with mint sewn bags that are about 60-65 years old is they have been shoved and bounced around quite a bit . Thus would have lots of bag marks and imperfections .  |

Thus would have lots of bag marks and imperfections . Maybe yes maybe no.  For the right price, and left unopened, I think it would make a cool collectors piece. |

Also since it has a seal but isn't mint sewn it could just be a reused 1959 bag and could have anything in it.
