but i guess in answer to your question if someone put a gun to my head and i had to buy one or the other i woujld buy the keelboat rolls
In my opinion your money could be better spent in other areas.

Jeniffer...
As some one who buys alot of Jeffersons and sells a few here and there... I've got to ask you why you're buying 100 rolls of P Keel Boats at $3.50 a roll when you could find them much cheaper.
Secondly, even though I collect Jeffersons... I'd be remiss not to tell you to collect what you like, however depending on your budget, you might want to consider buying something else. You could probably buy a whole set of BU Jefferson nickels for what your spending on the Keel Boats... and you would probably make more money in the long run with that set.
Again, welcome... and if I can help you, don't hesitate to pm me.

but if i had a gun to my head i would choose the state quarter set with all ther sleeves and original coa all in totally mint condition
Personally, I would find some other places to buy if these are things you truly like. If you are looking for investments, these deals look like clunkers with poor odds.
If a person is into quantity, then silver coins at melt, or copper Lincoln cent rolls at or near face value seem like they have more potential than any of the three deals offered.
<< <i>I bet shes blond
That's not very nice. Besides, I bet she's not.
well, i am blonde. what else you guys want from me?. besides i liked those coins. and all you guys just against it. if i choose my right man. i think a lot of people will against it too.....i think i go for a nun. just kidding guys. i thank you for all the advise. i will cancel my order for those stuffs.

is a pretty substantial loss. The Ikes are a sure bet in the sense they'll be worth $1.20 before too long
in all probability. Even if this doesn't pan out you'll lose only the 15c. They're a sure bet in another way;
there should be a few coins worth holding onto, perhaps even a few varieties. If I couldn't look at any-
thing first I'd go with the Ikes. If I could spot check the nickels then I'd jump all over them if it's a nice
batch.
<< <i>what about a canadian 2005 uncirculated (25 pc) $2.00 coin roll at can $59.95?. it's offered by the royal canadian mint. they said it will be the last $2.00 coin.

Its okay to like any or all of those coins. I have no problems if a person wants a roll of circulated Ikes for $23, or a roll or two of keelboat nickels at $3.50 or some of the other items in quantity one. But $1000 worth or even $300 worth of any of those? To my mind, that is crazy talk, unless that amount of money is lunch money for that person. Why so much into one type of item, especially when that one item has very limited resale value?
Lots of new collectors have bought lots of stuff with little or no resale value, but at least you are asking before buying.

<< <i>no, i am not her. i think i am more beautiful than her. just kidding. >>
I wonder if she meant another Jeniffer or Cammy. (Sorry couldn't resist the bad joke).
Seriously, welcome this peculiar world and I would suggest looking around and reading a lot before buying. Decide what you like and buy it. If it's purely for investment potential, I have no idea, but perhaps for interest sake, look at what a type set is and see if anything grabs your fancy.
Good call.And I was kidding about the blond.I would do as RedTiger suggested,buy a few rolls of each.
Not a 1,000 worth.

<< <i>my reason for acquiring 1,000 pc of ike is simply because a dealer is willing to buy $1.10 a piece of any quantity. and my dealer is selling one for $1.50, 100 for $120.00 and 1,000 for $1.15. that can be seen at their price list every month for both dealers. and a lot of young people (except collectors) like it. it is big, heavy and never circulated again. it is belong to or part of this current set. a long time missing piece. and besides, if i don't like it. i am only losing about $50.00 for 1,000 pieces. that is 5 cent a coin. and if i sell it at e-bay. i might gain some. i saw e-bay selling around $1.25 to $1.35 for 100 pcs. i can also use that to play cards with friends. instead of using plastic chips. why not a real nice coins. aside from this. children and new immigrants loves it too. a good gift for x'mas i suppose. another important reason is that 2007 new dollars series come out. will ike dollar moves up?. i noticed the old jefferson nickels dated 1969 and below have buyers right now. vg and above at eight cents to fifteen cents a piece. do you know it guys?. >>
OMG my head is spinning. Are you Michael's alt or something?
bless you and welcome Jeniffer... buy from the mint and store the stuff. Don't try to take on a thousand pound beast just yet.
read your words....you are speculating about "CENTS" using "DOLLARS"

Actually I agree with most of the answers. Do not buy either. If you live in or near a big city, hit the banks for the Ikes if you really want them. Don't hit them, just go there and buy the Ikes for face value. If you are a single girl, get a boy friend that works at a bank and he will get you all the Ikes you want and possibly for less than face value. Or you can get a job at a bank and save on the boy friend.
If your new to coin collecting, go out and spend a few dollars on coin books, read, learn and then send me the money left over or invest in coins that are worth something. Find out where there are coin shows in your area by checking out things like (your state) coin shows. Go to a few and look what is available. Bother the old people here with lots of questions. Many of them have nothing to do anyway.
If all else fails, you can still send me the money.

I told you she was blond
Ask me no questions, I'll tell you no lies.
I would go ahead with the Franklin dollars. They sold out and look to be a good bet to sell for more than you paid if you don't want them after you get them.
