<p>[QUOTE="Troodon, post: 220599, member: 4626"]I'd say the wrappers are worth nothing, as only the coins inside of the wrappers have any value, however I can't deny the fact that there are some who are willing to pay more for wrappers with the Mint logo on them (I refuse to call them "Mint-wrapped rolls" because the Mint does not wrap them!). However unless you intend to sell to the uninformed I wouldn't say these are any better investment than a roll with any bank's logo on it, assuming that either roll contains the same coins. The only way I can see it worth it buying these is if no bank in your area carries fresh rolls of a given coin (say half dollars or president dollars).</p><p><br /></p><p>25 uncirculated president dollars in a roll with the Mint logo on it is worth no more or less than the same 25 uncirculated president dollars in a roll with say, Wells Fargo's logo on it, period. Anyone who tells you otherwise is uninformed or trying to take advantage of your misconception that the Mint logo somehow confers special value or that rolls with the Mint logo on it have a better chance of being in higher condition. Coins that end up in rolls with the Mint logo on them receive exactly the same handling as coins that end up in any other rolls, and have no better chance of being in higher condition or producing more errors.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
