I have 24 1964 BU dime rolls in the plastic containers, is there any reason to open them and look through them?

Hard plastic tubes or soft plastic roll wraps? I'm assuming you mean the tubes. If they're all silver since they're 1964's, that's all siver. I don't know of anything else of value to look through in those. Maybe a choice mint location? I'm just a newb at this though and I'd suggest not touching them. EDIT: Unless you did this to put them into individual 2x2 coin flips. Tubes make me nervous as I can visualize the coins in there moving around and scraping against each other over the years.

I'd just leave 'em be. Most aren't worth more than silver content anyway.

if they are 1964-D, then look for the DDR. Edited by mod. ***This is a new member. Please read the rules.***

Thanks for the reply's. Yeah, they are in plastic tubes and I think they are all D. I may sale some but wouldn't be sure of how to go about doing it.

If you decide to sell some, let me know with the PM feature. In the meantime, if you hang around here, contribute and raise your post count to above 250, you can actually sell here on these boards. Take care and good luck.

Ok, I've been hanging around I just don't know enough to contribute. I may be posting some pictures with questions of other coins soon.

thats a lot of shiny silver and worth quite a bit in melt if there is nothing rare in there or expensive like a DDR, etc in there!

For anyone that interested in buying some, may I ask why? I'm not a collector yet and wonder why a collector would want a bunch of rolls of the same coin? Just b/c the silver?

People are most likely interested in them for their silver value or as someone mentioned a earlier a DDR variation that exists. The are for all intensive purposes worth silver melt. As of today(3/18), a silver dime has a melt value of about $2.55 or approximately $127.50 a roll, which makes your 24 rolls worth $3060 today. Now, selling those to anyone locally(a dealer, etc), you'll probably get offered %10 below melt. $2754. You'd probably be able to sell them on here by the roll for a little more, or maybe melt, but you don't have 250 posts yet. You could put them on ebay and get melt for them, but you'll lose probably %10-20 in fees, etc.

Definitely don't think I'm going to go through them. One of them opened as I was removing them from the bag and they are beautiful but I don't have the time or knowledge to go through them.
