Each coin gem is worth $30 to $40 but the rolls you find are not going to have many of the $30 to $40 coins in them because they are probably tubed and picked through plus they did not ever come nice as a rule.&nbsp; I have never seen a bank wrapped roll of them and if anybody has them they are most likely ignorant of what they have and will one day open them to wash the car, and on, and on, and on it goes.&nbsp; Just how many fine points of collecting coins are in that one paragraph and to fianally ask, &quot;are 1983-P quarters hot&quot;?</p><p>Like most things in life the answer is yes, and no, and it depends.</p><p>Gold and silver are &quot;hot&quot; right now and I&#039;ve turned it down at $2.95 an oz. for silver and $270 for gold, bought and sold Platinum 10th oz. for $60 each, they were not &quot;hot then.</p><p>There is virtually nothing made by the mint since 1955 that is rare in any stretch of the word yet many items were and are &quot;hot&quot; and may be again.</p><p>I promise what is truly really &quot;hot&quot; must always wait for the table or counter and be something buyer must have and a dealer is ready to sell or offer because nothing can be &quot;hot&quot; until it&#039;s bought or sold.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
