Does anyone know a good resource to use to get price values on rolled coins? I've started buying some older rolls, but I'm not sure if I'm even in the ballpark price-wise. Thanks, everyone.
I dont think i have ever seen a price guide for rolled coins. Usually i look at the AG price or if the sellers gives a generic grade range of the rool, and then see what the individuall price is, and then multiply by the # in the roll. not the most exact, but its a ballpark figure good luck!
Roll prices are all over the map. Forget about the price guides. Just pick a date of a roll you want and check e-bay. You'll see people paid $2 and someone else paid $10. And of course, are you talking BU or just circulated? Or are you talking about OBW (Original Bank Roll)? If you're buying anywhere online, the other complicating issue is shipping. Rolls are heavy. Of course, if you're buying alot, you should never pay more than $10 shipping as that is the flat rate for as much as you can stick in one of those USPS priority boxes.
Thanks Daggarjon, that makes sense. I wasn't sure if there was an intrinsic value for that "hidden gem" they always advertise.
Give me a coin, a date, and a condition (circ. or uncirc.), and I'll see what the going price is, on eBay.
It's an original bank roll (hopefully), 1953-D BU Lincoln Wheat Pennies. The highest bidder on E-Bay is me at $7.50. No idea what I'm doing!
The giong price is $20-$25 including S&H. I wouldn't pay any attention to the "original bank wrapped" hype. The coins have most likely been searched for anything unusual or valuable.
Thanks a lot, Jody. I think you may be right about the hype. I'm not expecting any double-dies or anything like that from this roll. I learned my lesson from buying "unopened" proof sets at inflated prices.
Just to be clear, the price I quoted ($20-$25) was including S&H. In other words, if the S&H is $5, then the selling price was $15-$20. If the S&H was $3, then the selling price was $17-$22. Those are approximations, but you see the point.
