I have 2 mint sealed bags of Massachusetts P and D Quarters minted in 2000

ElcontadorElcontador Posts: 7,558 ✭✭✭✭✭

I have one such bag from the P and D mints. I think each bag is $25 face value and I paid $35 each for them. They are taking up space, would like to get rid of them, and would like to take them to the next Long Beach Show. Prices I've seen for them are all over the place. What do you think I should be asking? I think the cheapest internet offers I've seen are in the $75 to $80 range for each bag.

Thanks in advance.

    These appear to be available on eBay for $50 and the last one sold for $37 including shipping. A dealer will expect to cover expenses and make a profit, so I’d think you’d be very lucky to get $35 each.

    eBay fees and shipping means that a seller of an item like this at $50 is netting about ~$37 after accounting for the ~$5 eBay fee and ~$8 USPS parcel select shipping ($25 in quarters are heavy).

    Just my two cents, but keep your expectations low.

    Spend them!

    Selling at the show would avoid shipping costs... Might be best to wear a sign when walking around, since likely to get a better deal from collectors than dealers. Cheers, RickO

    I would be surprised if you could find a dealer who wanted them.There appears to be only minimal interest in them now, so dealers don't want to carry them. I have Mint wrapped rolls of State Quarters, which I purchased for face value.

    I'd give you $30 in person, but I'm not a dealer. (This is not an offer to buy, just a hypothetical scenario).

    No, offense, but think the responses you get at a show will be frustrating and perhaps even rude if you catch a dealer who is in a bad mood.

    Those are not hot commodities and will be heavy to lug around for anyone who ends up with them.

    State quarters are just about unsellable these days as interest seems to have waned to be almost non-existent. Prolly best to just spend them to save the time of trying to find a purchaser. Sorry, sad case. I can remember when interest was very robust and even AU's were sellable for quite a profit in the first few years. You could save them for another 20 years and hope interest returns. Up until 2022 my local dealer would give me $10.50 per roll but his buyer stopped buying them and now I just return them to the bank.

    Not to mention the fact that essentially all of the top pop ms coins were found in mint sets.

    I'd spend them.

    issue price was 35.50, and 35.50 in 2000 is equal to 44.50 in todays inflated dollars

    It is likely to cost you more to sell them than you can make in "profit". I'd just spend them and move on.

    Thanks guys. Don't need parking meter money. Will keep them and let them grow moss on their north sides, for now.
