If I get them I spend them. Someday I'll regret it but I can't get into commom stuff.
I do get the beautiful examples in proof sets every year though.

i had actually never seen them untill today when I went to get my nickels I asked the teller what they were and she explained them , anyway that teller and the one next to her were all about getting me coins, defiantly going to have to take care of those to ladies, they were very nice and knew exactly what I was doing and still very willing to help

Pay attention to the edge lettering, it can be oriented either up or down, but there are error coins out there with no edge lettering or double edge lettering.

The James Buchanan just came out and even though they are new seems like I can never find one in nice condition! I have a Philly mint for you SD! Oh and one thing....we talked about this before...you dont have to give tellers cookies or donuts or anything...they are doing their jobs! they work with money...thats what they do! give the donuts to police men!  |

These things are going to look like such trash in four or five years.

just picked up 2 rolls of james buchanan, with the intent of selling them, now not sure, maybe sell one and keep one? I think they are straight from the mint, at least that is what someone said, but it also says N.F. String & Son Inc. Harrisburg, PA. so I am guessign these are from the Philly mint, is this correct? and if so does that mean they would be a BU roll?

cntryislandboy - I am pretty sure that is a roll of BU coins. I grab these rolls from my bank and they've always been BU. I get usually 3-4 rolls of each president, 1 to keep, 1 to sell, and 2 to crack open and find some near perfect coins for my albums.

I collect them because they cost me a $1. I'm not kidding myself that these will be worth much but it is a set that I can finish.

I buy a roll of Denver mint every 3 months when they come out. I really like them. Although they don't have much value and never probably will they still look nice. I figure if I keep them in their mint rolls they will at some time increase in their value. Not any worse than the interest on a bank account. They sell here for $5-$10 over what you pay in the bank for a BU roll and $2 a coin in BU at shows in the Minnesota area. So right there you are in a sense making a profit if you can sell them.

I started to collect them in circulated condition. But now looking at the coins the design is to cheesy and not much eye appeal. IMHO. Thank goodness, I didn't get to far down the road before I stopped collecting them.

The Buchanan Dollar might be a bit of a sleeper. Production ended early. The final mintages were announced even before the coins' release date! Denver Mint Gift Shop sold out their Buchanan allocation in a couple of weeks. Last Friday, they were selling 2010-D Native American dollars. Most likely, Denver Mint did another run of Natives to prepare for the expected ramp-up of mintage for the Lincoln Presidential dollar. PS: "Golden" Dollars look best as Proofs  Edited by DNA
