my bank teller informed me that she would have rolls of the presidential dollars tomorrow. i was going to pick up two just for fun. what are everyone's thoughts on these? i was thinking of picking up a roll for each president. should i even bother as these may be insanely mass- produced and hoarded? should i just pick up the mint set for my collecting itch? or perhaps the mint rolls as well? i can't decide how i want to go after these. ideas? thoughts? thanks EDIT: it seems as if my teller may be off a week, as i found conflicting data on the date. i will find out tomorrow.
I agree with you about the mass production and hoarding with these dollars. I couldn't get into hoarding big quantities of the state quarters and I don't think I'll be starting with this one other than getting the usual sets from the mint and maybe a few of each. Although I think I had that kind of mindset 40 years ago too, and in some cases I wish I hadn't. So although I don't think they will appreciate much, I wish those well who decide to squirrel them away. That's what makes this hobby interesting, you've got hundreds of ways to collect.
They'll most likely be in $25 rolls just as the Sacky and Suzies are. I'd go ahead and get a whole bunch... pick a few of the nicer ones as keepers... and then start spending them! There's no cooler way to bring folks into the hobby than to lay a neat new coin on them that they've never seen or heard of... and not many people seem to realize these are coming! By the way... I'm envious... I stopped by the bank today and asked, and they do not expect to have them until the 15th. Have fun!
tom, i edited my post, but you must have missed it. i suspect that my teller was off by a week as i have read that the mint is having a "celebration" of sorts and releasing them on the 15th as you mentioned. i will find out tomorrow.
I'd say get few rolls to spend... If they are in the mint rolls vs a 3party service that delivers them to the bank, I'd keep a few rolls... It'd be cheaper than the 10. premium the mint will put on them...
None of the banks around here know anything about them. Pretty sure they come in a $25 roll . At least that is what some dealers are selling them as.
presidencial rolls i wish i could get some rolls. specially president washington. the edge is magnificent.
The Banks were allowed to order them on Feb 1 to the 15th. My bank told me if they order them they will not received them until after the 15th Here is the Fed Reserve in Philly order site http://www.frbservices.org/Cash/comcoin/philadelphia.html
as expected, not today. she did tell me that they are getting them tomorrow but they are not allowed to distribute them until next thursday. bummer. i was looking forward to seeing them in hand. i suppose what is a few more days? sorry for the false alarm.
I suppose that as soon as the Presidential $1 coins come out,people will be rushing out to get them,& then put them up on eBay.I can remember when the Euro coins & banknotes first came out.On the 1st of January 2002 & for weeks after that,people were out getting Euros & putting them up on eBay.

Sorta like these.... http://cgi.ebay.com/2007-Presidenti...028QQihZ009QQcategoryZ523QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem http://cgi.ebay.com/2007-U-S-Mint-P...081QQihZ019QQcategoryZ523QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem http://cgi.ebay.com/2007-Washington...1QQihZ009QQcategoryZ11983QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem There are already a 192+ listings... http://coins.search.ebay.com/Presid...rgnZQ2d1QQsaslcZ2QQsbrftogZ1QQsofocusZunknown I don't know why people don't just order from the mint and save several dollars... Mint is usally better on shipping too...
I am getting mine from my local branch of Bank of America. I will post when I get them in hand..It will probably be another week or so.
sold!! I just checked completed listings, And that stuff is selling. Pretty good to I might add. $35.95 for one bank wrapped roll. Nothing like a quick 10 spot.
