<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 132294, member: 4552"]In the past I've found that if you know someone at a bank you can accumulate massive amounts of uncirc rolls of coins. Then to preserve them, put them in those plastic rolls. I use to do exactly that. Then recently I found I had hundreds and hundreds of dollars worth of coins in plastic rolls taking up lots and lots of room. So I started asking at coin shows, coin stores, miscellaneous dealers if they wanted to buy any. About half ended up dumped into a bank bag and returned to the bank for face value due to no one wanted them. Most of the others were sold for not much more that face value. These were mostly coins from the 70's, 80's and 90's. One of my biggest mistakes was many, many rolls of that dumb Bicentennial Quarter. Absolutely no one wanted them. </p><p>The moral of the story is unless you have lots and lots of years to save modern coins by the roll you would be better off with a bank savings account.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
