epiphone805 New Member United States 38 Posts	Posted 04/30/2011 3:27 pm I just got my Red Book guide to coins in the mail the other day and as I was reading the nickels section,since those are what I mostly search rolls of, and I noticed that the value of just about any nickel after 1940 or so(excluding errors and '42-'45 silvers) that is MS-63 is 25 cents. So does that mean a $2 dollar roll of nickels(assuming they're fresh from the mint or haven't yet circulated too much) from the bank is actually worth 10 dollars($.25 x 40)?

Sometimes there is a demand sometimes there's little and this varies by dealer. Certified TPG MS 63 can also influence the price over a raw self certified MS 63. Report this Post to the Staff
AlmostCollectible Valued Member United States 384 Posts	Posted 04/30/2011 4:56 pm I just checked completed listings on ebay for you, and 2011 BU rolls are selling for about $3 to $4 +shipping. So there is definitely some premium, and I think some years might fetch more. Report this Post to the Staff

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 05/01/2011 02:26 am That $0.25 value you see represent the dealers "nuisance charge". The coin isn't worth that much but the dealer has to have something to recover his expenses. Report this Post to the Staff
carmykle Pillar of the Community United States 2448 Posts	Posted 05/01/2011 12:11 pm Ah, again a revelation. Had not heard that before, but it certainly stands to reason. I always thought that RB posts a "Wishful Thinking" price and never looked at some of the prices in that light. Overhead is always overhead. Report this Post to the Staff
