mint coin rolls - keep in roll or break out?

Paper rolls - and even the plastic rolls - are way down on the list of safe
storage media. Best bet, get some inert plastic coin tubes and put the rolls in
them, especially if you are going to keep the rolls for more than a couple of
months.

Thanks, again! for sharing your advice, Alan Herbert. I like this one
very well because it affords me an excuse to inspect, coin by coin, the
four machine-wrapped early memorial Lincoln rolls I was handed a few
weeks ago.

If I find any 1959-D wheatback cents I promise to reveal it. ;-)

rolled coins from the mint. Would
they tend to have a greater value left in these rols, or broken out and sold
off individually

My notion is keep them in the original holder. Remember the Delaware
Mini-bags?

Anyone that left their quarters in the bags are going to be very disappointed if they ever open them. I've seen bags of quarters ruined after just one year in the bag.

What do you mean by "ruined"?

Not the point; you don't open them - you eBay them for about $600.oo

I don't know about anyone else but, I buy coins not bags. I'm not a gambler so I don't buy coins that I can't examine first. "Sealed sets", "original" rolls just don't interest me.

JAM

Okay........Thanks.

All the coins that were in contact with the bag have developed a
unattractive hazy toning. The toning has the same form as the weave of the
bags

interest me.

OK. Butt that does not mean that others cannot be interested in them, correct?
I'm "just not that interested" in ancients; does that mean I cannot advise
someone about olive oil?

There are Mint-Sewn Mini-Bag collectors and Mint-Rolled collectors, who would
be willing to pay an additional premium for an undisturbed specimen, regardless
of their contents' toning.

I do not collect the Mint-Rolled State Quarters (which, by the way, started
with the issuance of the New Hampshire Quarter). But some do. I have bought,
on a lark or two, a few of these rolls, and left them undisturbed. Right now,
my 80 NH ones are worth more as a unit than if they'd been busted out and
graded MS60.

There is one thing I have done. I placed them in a plastic vaccuum package to
minimize their exposure to the elements (I use a FoodSaver unit).

No problem with someone collecting bags and rolls. Collect what you like, that's the whole idea. One of the reasons that we use the rcc is to get all the information we can on the subject.

Vacuum bagging sounds like a good idea. Throw a piece of Intercept Shield or a

Metal SAFE http://tinyurl.com/g4zu

And you should have it made.
