Best sick gallows humor joke so far since the crash:

Well, at least now the Phillies aren't the only train wreck in town.

Keep this in mind. More people died in Baltimore gun violence just this last weekend than on train 188. Truth.

 

Now that's just danged awful.....

Granddad was a big Philly's fan. The old fellow would sleep all day and stay up all nite, watching the Phills and God knows what else? No cable back in the sixties.......

 

Also look for die chips hidden in both corn stalks, they are a bit harder to see because the design is so busy there. You will also be likely to find die chips (above) the roof as well as on the roof, along with a crack and also pre die crack depressions. (a sunken area over the two sides of the roof). All have been sellable to me on the Bay. Now is the time to do this while they are hot. Good luck!!

 

Yup. Channel 6 ran Phillies games then and with THREE west coast road swings per year to LA and SF, there were quite a few late games. For a Phils fan, 1964 hurts more for them than anything having to do with the end of circulation silver.

 

I have no idea what you mean by this. People don't just drop off coins at the mint gift shop. Are you sure he wasn't at a coin shop in Philadelphia?

 

I wondered about that, too. Maybe a restock from returns?

 

You are right, I didn't check EVERYWHERE on the website and N F String & Sons does do processing of coins, but how would you know a roll processed by them from a roll processed simply using their equipment/paper?

 

True 'nuff dat. I do remember reading some years ago that the District 3 Federal Reserve Bank used N.F. String exclusively, at that time, to process their monster bags of uncirculated coinage into rolls and boxes. I have no idea if that contract is still current. I can report that, working in Harrisburg, cash drawers are all teeming with fresh 2015 coins and the wrappers being opened are String's. Every coin I have received the last two days is a 2015. I also know Metro Bank uses them to process their no-fee coin counter business. So right there, there HAS TO BE a mixture of new and old.

 

He visits the philly mint gift shop several times a year and he did not see the man who dropped the coins off as he was shopping.The teller just told him that a man just dropped these off as he was putting them into a display case and steve asked to purchase them.Just luckly i guess.

 

I just listed that roll on e-bay.But i,m not sure how to put a photo up on this site to show you?

 

where can i get presidential dollar rolls for $25.00?

 

Try the bank.

 

Indeed, try the bank. Just don't expect any after Lincoln to be found there - pretty uncommon.

 

I was also looking for some information on the N.F. String rolled coins. My husband was an avid coin collector. He recently passed away and willed his collection to me for the purpose of paying off debts. Unfortunately I don't know anything about coins so apologies for the newbie questions. I saw a coin dealer but he was only interested in the Roman coins. Anyway, I have here a roll of 25 2010 Native American One Dollar coins that I need to sell asap (see photo). Is there any way to tell if they are circulated or uncirculated? The back of of the coin shows on both ends. My research shows a Native American mom and baby on the front. Being that they are wrapped, I'm assuming it's not advisable to unwrap them if I want to sell the roll. How would I tell where they were minted and any other important info that should be included in a sale post? Any idea what the minimum value would be for the roll (hoping it's more than face value)?

I'm afraid I don't have any more info than I've given on these coins. I don't know when or where he acquired them nor how much he paid for them.

Sorry for all the questions. I'm just in an urgent situation where I have to liquidate assets as quickly as possible. Any advice would be so much appreciated.

 

Only way to know absolutely for sure, is to open it. That's the Catch-22 with "original rolls" the only way to know for sure they are Unc is to open them, and once you open them they are no longer "original rolls"

 

Thanks Conder101. I was afraid that might be the case.
If I open them, I assume I'll have to sell them individually. Is there an established price I can ask for them individually, provided they aren't worn?

 

Would it be true that if the mint is not noted on the roll, the coins inside are likely mixed mints? As a complete novice, just trying to sell some assets, it seems strange that such little info is on the exterior of the roll, forcing you to bust it open just to see what's inside. My roll simply says:
2010 Native American $1
$25.00
Dollars
N.F. String & Son, Inc.
Harrisburg, PA, USA

No mint, No idea whether they are circ or uc. If I take the roll to a coin dealer would they be able to give me enough info to sell them in the roll?

Can anyone advise on how I should approach selling them?
