Will someone please tell me the Greysheet bid on 1954 D & S and 1961 BU dime rolls?
I would assume there is a premium over melt.
I think it is time to trade them in on something to put in my Box of 20.

Basically $287.50 for 54D and 61 and $297.50 for 54S. So, 10% back is melt. Essentially no premium.

If you get a decent offer ... SELL! Don't try to get every last cent from rolls like that.
I agree with this. I’m in a similar boat.
Check the coins for Gems and varieties before selling them. All of these rolls are common.
'49, '49-D, '50-S, and '51-S are the keeper dime rolls. But there are Gems and varieties everywhere. The average roll will have a couple keepers and some will have none or many. Be sure to store the keepers properly.
if the future posters continue to indicate just silver value, i can tell you pm buyers are currently paying way back of melt. spot is $52x, buy prices are in the low to mid 40s, with the great ones at high 40s
If you search the rolls for supposed "keepers" you will no longer have rolls but just a bunch of common date Unc. dimes.
Will they bring more as dimes in complete rolls than they will as a bunch of common date Unc. dimes? Are you a good enough grader to make up the difference on "keeper" singles after having to pay slabbing fees?
Admittedly I am not a grader.
So letting them go makes me nervous.
Nervous that you might sell a coin for $5 that'd worth $30? But it'll cost you $35 in slab fees to realize the $30. The odds of a top pop are very slim.

I was thinking FSB. Pretty much anything less than that is $5 to $10 retail. YMMV. But people are funny. They will hold onto a coin (or roll) for years trying to maximize the value. It's like opportunity costs don't exist.
I was in a coin store today and a 10 or 12 year old kid was trying to decide what to invest his $20 in. I said to his mother "S&P500 fund ". His mother laughed and asked me to explain to her son.
I told him "when i was your age, I could have bought silver for $1 or $2. If I did that and still had it at $75, I would have lost a fortune. " The poor kid looked horribly baffled. "I said, $1 in the S&P 500 then would be worth $243 today." I said, "buy the coin you like because you like it."
He bought a pile of crap. Lol

@jmlanzaf . you must be a blast to spend time with. I bet your insights on ,insurance, burial funds and amortizinf large purchases muist be a real hoot. james
That was good advice because of FUN.
I hear people all the time on this very forum say that TV hawkers and the US Mint are bad for the hobby when people lose money on their purchases. So, if you want to have FUN, buy what you like and don't sit there staring at the value.
It was a funny story and I shared it. I hope you feel better about yourself after criticizing me.

@jmlanzaf . I would feel better if you would figure out this is a coin site. I repeat. This is a coin site. No need to endlessly post about the S & P 500. This will shock you but there are people who live, love, laugh & die without ever giving the S & P500 a single thought.
Everyone gets it. You have a cashbox for a heart and the throne chair between your ears is so filled with S & P stocks; nobody or nothing else can get a seat.
If you, me, and my wife were sitting in a room and the most beaituful young woman walked in stark naked. Here are the three thoughts that would happen. Me; I really must come here more often. Mary; with 5 bucks you would think she could at least afford some pantys. You, Do you have any idea what that 5 bucks would be worth if you had only invested in the S & P when you were born.
The internet is huge. There must be a site out there filled with S & P investors who should be warned 15 times a day about the horrors of appreciating rare coins. james
Not grading Full Bands/Torch is a real value killer for Roosevelt dimes minted from 1946-1964. I bet that CACG coin, beside lacking full strike, had some awful tarnishing along with it.
