Sealed rolls of Presidential dollars - value?

So I hit a bank for rolls yesterday and walked out with several original sealed rolls of Thomas Jefferson golden dollars. I have one with George Washington too, and one of 2000-P Sacagawea. Any idea if these command a premium? They are quite a few years old...

If i were you open them up and look for proofs,missing edge lettering,the 2000 varietys etc,no not really mabey a few bucks more to the right buyer.

 

Best to check ebay ended listing for a better idea of value. But def. check the Washington coins for missing edge lettering. These can go for $30.00 each or so, more in a top grade.

 

Most will sell on eBay between $30 and $35 dollars. Last Jefferson roll I saw went for $33. Also depends on if they are the Black and white Mint Rolls or the red white and blue string and sons rolls.

 

Why would I find proofs in original N.F. String sealed rolls with the name of the president printed on them? 2000 varieties - I wouldn't find a Cheerios or Goodacre dollar in a Mint sealed roll. Therefore, what are y'all referring to?

Do only the Washingtons have missing edge lettering? (Or can that be found in other versions?)

 

The 2000-P is Mint sealed. The rest are String. What's the difference? Do the Strings not have uncirculated coins inside?

 

I don't think N.F string is related to the mint its just a coin roll company.I find CWR's with there logo all the time if so most likely not original rolls.

 

Here is a paragraph from the NGC page about them.

Missing Edge Lettering error coins exist for each of the first 15 coins in the Presidential Dollar series, from Presidents Washington through Buchanan. The most common, by far, is the 2007 Washington Dollar. The next most common Missing Edge Lettering coins are, in order, John Adams, William Henry Harrison, Taylor, Fillmore and Van Buren. An exciting feature of these mint errors is how accessible they are. Certified gem examples (MS 65) for most of these issues can be found for under $100, although higher grade examples cost more.

 

As far as I know......string got the coins directly from the mint and rolled them. They should be uncirculated. Thats the only way they could roll them by president.

 

OK,im just not a know it all when it comes to this,getting a little confused but get it.So is it possible to find the missing edge lettering and wounded eagles if they are mint rolls.

 

Most price guides only list a couple of the errors. Washington & Adams. The Adams also has doubled edge lettering. For the rest refer to Beardigger's list. On the Adams coin it's the P-MM that has doubled edge lettering and around $30.00 in MS63 & $40.00 in MS65 but the D-MM is missing edge lettering and can go for $150.00 per price guide in MS65. These have been found in Mint rolls and Loomis rolls. And quite possibly in others like N.F. String & Wells Fargo wrapped rolls.

 

The speared eagle is a different coin completely. The highlighted feathers are what to look for. I might be wrong but I think the speared eagle is the result of a die gouge.

 

@RomaniGypsy The thread below should help you.

Yes I know,was just saying because those two are what will most likely be found if anything special at all even.

 

Only if they are MS-68 or higher or they are missing the edge lettering.

 

I got some of these original rolls from a bank one time and I took them to a coin show dealer and made a couple bucks on each roll.

 

I remember when the 2007 MEL’s were discovered, SUMORADA aka Eric Beers from the CU forum had scored IIRC 11,000 of them estimated value at that time, 3 million. Sadly he passed a few years back.

 

Just to clarify for novice collectors, the Mint does NOT roll coins and sell them. A third party contractor rolls coins from bags sent from the mint. If they have a partial bag or coins left from previously rolled coins, they will mix them in with the newer mint coins, so it is possible to get other coins in a "sealed" roll.

 

Those are the business strike coinage slated for commerce. The obvious tell excluding look-a-likes is the wrapper.
The mint does indeed sell mint wrapped rolls to collectors on their website which are often deposited in the banks.

 

Yes, but those are rolled by a third party, not at the mint.
