Mint Presidential Dollar Rolls - Sell them or Spend/Deposit them?

MAN2004

I have nearly a full run of US MINT Presidential Dollars rolls - Washington to Reagan P&D - that I’ve had for years. I wondering if they are worth selling for a premium over face value on eBay. I wanted to know if any other members have any experience with modern dollar rolls. I’m having second thoughts about just depositing them at my bank. Any direction would be greatly appreciated.

1. Look on eBay to see how much they are currently bringing in completed sales. Forget about "buy-it-now" listings where no actual sale has taken place.
2. Calculate your full eBay selling expenses.
3. Determine if it is worth the time and effort to try and get more than face value for them.

I have no idea what the various rolls sell for. I only had some of the earliest issues and eventually ended up just using them up or cashing them in at the bank. Some of the later issues may bring worthwhile premiums so you need to do some checking for real sale prices.

Don't forget the possibility of the missing edge lettering varieties. I have no idea if they're still desired, but I remember they used to be valuable.

I have not seen much of a collector base for these coins... though I am sure there are some who do collect them. I would think demand would be mild. Try offering them on the BST... If any takers, at least no fees. Cheers, RickO

I say dump them in circulation if you can't get any offers on the BST

Check for the edge varieties, then spend them.

Still collected. Some later years bring pretty high prices if certified.

When these Presidential dollars first were available by the rolls from my bank at face, I used to buy two (D) rolls, one roll, preferably Head/Tails, I'd save, the other open up, select the best two, one for a Whitman P/D album, and one to trade to an east coast forum member for his P mint example. Then spend the rest around town. Worked great, until they stopped issuing rolls at face value.
I'd be interested in a P/D set of the later coins, for my album, and can't be the only one. Seems a shame to spend the later rolls if you paid more than a dollar each to buy them in the first place, and held them this long.

Yes, when I took a trip to London, it seemed like the British one pound coin was a penny, given the prices there.
