Jody -
Thanks so much for your kind assistance! We have no value guides and, therefore, have had no idea as to values.

acmebook

We are interested in hearing from anyone else with opinions re: value; however, these rolls are NOT for sale nor are we attempting to solicit any offers. In fact, we are not, and will not, consider any offers. These roools are an investment and we are curious to hear from knowledgable and experienced persons as to their opinions re: the current, as well as speculations re: future, value and possibilities.

We greatly appreciate any and all assistance and/or opinions.
Thanks to all.

Well the values that Jody provided are retail values, and are current. As far as continued value it will depend upon the condition of each coin. As they are all silver, there will always be an intrinsic value based upon their silver content. You stated that these coins are uncirculated. If they are in the original rolls, they would have a value above put together rolls. There are too many variables that effect the price of coins to be accurately explained in this forum. All prices are reflective upon the condition or preservation of the coin in question. Silver is a metal that is easily effected by its handling and environment. For future value, be sure to keep the coins in a safe environment. Keep them away from tempature fluxuations and humidity. Do not handle the coins with bare hands. While the dates that you have presented are not exceptional in and of themselves, the fact that they are in rolls helps. This will ensure their value to a point. As a rule, dealers do not buy rolls sight unseen. We (dealers) will open each roll to examine each coin, and a price would be determined from that standpoint. Also to take into consideration, dealers do not pay retail prices found in the price guides. Most of us use a dealers guide commonly referred to as the greysheet. With most coins, the price will change on a pretty regular basis, so the price may go up or down. There is just no way to predict future prices.

Are you certain these are UNCIRCULATED rolls? Are they in the original vintage paper rolls? Or do you just have solid date rolls? There is a huge difference in value if these coins have been circulated or handled.

p.s. By solid date roll I mean a roll of one date. i.e. 40 quarters from 1964, etc.

acmebook

Thanks for the replies and information. Yes, these are uncirculated and have NEVER been touched. They were purchased in the 40's
and 50's in original wrappers and put immediately into vault boxes. They are as they were when put into vault boxes. There are a lot more rolls just like these. The other rolls date from about 1921-1943. Those rolls are dimes, quarters, half-dollars, and dollars. The other rolls amount to about $70,000 Face Value. We are in the process of beginning to inventory those rolls. They, too, are uncirculated rolls placed directly into vault boxes and have been touched nor seen the light of day since they were placed in the vault boxes. These were purchased as there was not much confidence - at that time by the family - in the banks holding the money - they wanted to keep it locked securely away and in their own control.

Thanks for your kind assistance!

You're very welcome.

Chances are there is a tremendous amount of edge toning, extending toward the middle of the coins, and perhaps covering the whole coins. The ones at the ends of the rolls may even have some "lines" in the toning where the folded wrappers didn't quite touch some spots. There was a lot of sulpher in the paper used for coin wrappers at that time.


Especially if they are mint wrappers as opposed to original bank wrappers, opening them to look at the toning might be like opening a valuable old wine bottle!

Jody: I have a serious question. I am NOT soliciting offers on these rolls. That said, when they are sold, will the large number of rolls with individual dates and mint markings have an impact on the value received? I.e., the approximate retail is around $290,00.00. Current Greysheet bid is about $202,000 with a buy at about $225,000. However, I am concerned that, due to the very large numbers of same date/mint-mark Rolls, that the Greysheet may not be an accurate guide. Is this an accurate assessment, or does it not really matter that there are so many rolls of the same date/mark?

I would also appreciate hearing from anyone else who has experienced ideas and opinions.

Thanks again to all!

Dear Satootoko:

Thank you for taking the time to respond and supplying the information on these rolls and possible oxidation. We have - with white archival quality gloves - opened about 10 completely randon rolls to check for this. None of the 1o rolls sampled exhibit any signs of oxidation. These rolls were immediately resealed in their original wrappers - using archival materials - and then placed in air-tight archival storage bags. I don't know if 10 is an adequate number for a sampling. What is your opinion/idea? Is there anything else that can be done to safely check on this?
Thank you.

Just in general terms...you can buy BU rolls at any coin shop or show at greysheet bid or less. There are execptions, of course. Decades ago when BU roll collecting was hot these rolls carried huge premiums but not so much anymore.
Now, with that said...one thing that is hot these days (among other things) are high grade singles...particularly coins from the 30's-40's. So people who buy these from you might search the rolls for high quality uncs and have them certified.

In one of your posts you mentioned these rolls were "purchased" in the 40's and 50's. I'm curious. Were they purchased from coin dealers at the time? You call the wrappers original, but I think coins were issued from the mint in bags, not rolls. Someone, somewhere, sometime had to put them into rolls. Can you post some photos of the rolls/wrappers?

One thing that is possible - large numbers of BU rolls of the same denomination, date & mint mark could have an impact on the market. The market is based on supply and demand - throw that out of balance by releasing large quantities at one time - you be the judge.

acmebook,
Greysheet bid is an average price for what dealers are offering to pay for coins now. One dealer might offer a little more, another might offer a little less.
You can usually realize higher prices by marketing your coins to collectors, but you have to factor in the time and expence of going that route.
You might want to consider checking with several different dealers, to see what they will offer you, before selling to one for less than Greysheet bid.
JMHO

Agreed Jody. Anyone selling coins should always shop around to different dealers.
