Would it be worth keeping BU rolls of pennies,nickles, dimes, etc from the bank to sell in the future?? Would BU rolls of coins be valuable 30 years from now, or is it just a waste of space?
IMHO it's a waste of space. They are minting billions of these coins so a ton will always be available in high grade. I don't think it will ever pay off.
So I guess basically wait for a low mintage year. I did not think this year coins would be worth anything, but wanted to check.
But with all the information available these days...low mintage years will be hoarded too. So, I don't see any modern circulation coin being worth anything in the future. Look at the 1950-D nickel, it was a low mintage but everyone knew and hoarded them. Today they are more common in MS than circulated it seems. There is simply no easy way to make a buck when it comes to coins.
Depends on what a BU roll contains. If most of the coins are MS64-65, maybe not, but if they are in the MS66-67 range (look at my avatar), why not?
With a great deal of study you might find something to save but it would probably never pay enough to make it worth the time. Look at the prices of rolls from 30 years back. Do you see anything that you wish you had? Sure you do but guessing those at the time would be next to impossible. At the same time there is nothing wrong with collecting rolls. It can be just as fun as anything in this hobby.
I have a complete state quarter, BU in an album all acquired from bank rolls. Sets like these were selling on eBay over a year ago for upwards of $100. You can find them, as they are quite common now a days, for around $40-$50. Do the math.
Detecto.......take the 'way-back machine' and collect rolls of quarters and dimes from '82 & '83.........
Not necessarily true for those that hoarded them likely at face value, held onto them for 30+ years and are now selling these at $10-$20 each, which is the case. But then again, those mintage numbers for the 50-D were around 2.6 million total, low mintage it seems nowadays was the 2009 nickels where it was what, 86 million or so total between both P and D?
