Hold onto sealed Presidential dollar rolls or cash them in?

Postby JerrySpringer » Fri Feb 21, 2014 8:55 pm

I have some sealed Presidential dollar rolls and am thinking I might just as well turn them in for cash. Would you hold on to them? I forget which presidents I have but most are before Lincoln I think. Maybe 7 rolls total. Also, I have a sealed roll of Susan B. Anthony dollars. Not sure of the date. That one I think I should probably hold onto. Maybe the great-great-grand descendants could buy a cool laptop computer with that roll someday?

I'd save the SBAs, since they're old and most people have probably given up and spent them by now, but I'm not confident they are or ever will be worth much. May as well cash in the president ones; the earlier president dollars had higher mintages and were widely saved.

When everyone who is not a "real" coin collector is saving something, that is your cue to deposit the money in a bank or turn it into gold/silver/copper. Look at Ike dollars; they have been around for decades and are only worth $1.10 or thereabouts. Imagine if you had put 100 Ikes into the stock market in 1975!

I cashed in all mine save one roll. It was fun to get them at cost shipped back in the day, but I don't think they are going to worth anything much.
"If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their Fathers conquered....The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs."
