$50 penny bag value

Postby bigjohn56 » Sat Jan 07, 2012 5:56 pm

I have a bag of rolled pennies. It contains $50 face value and is from Harris Bank, Chicago. It has never been opened and the lead seal is still intact. It is rubber stamp dated Dec 21,1973 on a tag attached to the string seal.

Would it have any extra value?

you could probably ebay it for 100-130 before fees and shipping

.....or you can wait til next Friday and add it to the forum's monthly "Kitchen Sink Auction"!

I'm sure you'd get some action on it....I know I might bid on something like that.

I got it from the bank with my dad back in '73 and have held onto it since. That was when copper first went up and melt was over face. That is why we kept it. For years it was at my mother's house. When we sold her house I brought it home. It is now just part of the copper stack and will remain here.
