[QUOTE="MattDawg, post: 1130225, member: 29871"]Hello all, I'm do not collect, but an elderly friend does a bit of it. He's starting to feel like his time on Earth is very short and is looking to start liquidating what he has. This is the first batch that he's asked me to do some research on to determine if they are worth anything more than face value (easier to dump them at the bank if they'll only fetch as much on eBay). He's got a $25 paper roll from Philly and another from Denver for each of the following presidents: George Washington James Monroe William Henry Harrison James Madison Martin Van Buren Andrew Jackson Thomas Jefferson John Adams Two $12 plastic rolls (intact seals): One for George Washington One for John Adams A single dollar in a round plastic 'case' for: John Adams Zachary Taylor Lastly, two boxes (looking like gold press bars), each marked "425 net grams, ballistic rolls" and containing 50 Thomas Jefferson dollars in a sealed plastic tube. Again, I realize these are likely face value items, but bouncing thru Wiki, I saw that it is possible the Washington and Adams paper rolls *could* contain errors worth somewhat more. Am I right to assume it's fine to just unroll them all, as finding no errors they are still legal tender worth face value, and is errors are found, so much the better? Or is there a way to determine whether errors exist inside a paper roll without opening it? Thanks for the long read and any assistance you all can offer. :)[/QUOTE]
