My YN and I opened up a roll from the mint last night - 4 coins that might go 63 or so, the rest spenders. I think I wasted the premium in an attempt to get nicer coins.

In Washingtons time, that was considered to be a smile.

I picked up one roll at the bank today. The coins on the end didn't look so great. I am hoping for better when I open the roll.

he looks totally miserable.

went through all of 'em, no perfect examples, all edge lettered. tell you what, I like the look of a bunch of gold colored coins. I think they're interesting, but no more interesting than the sacs.


maybe Im not cut out for the coin game, I have no desire to search through tons of coins to find perfect examples to pay to have graded looking for a subjective perfect grade to resell to the next guy. does that make me any less a numismatist ? or just a lesser customer to a TPG ?

*sigh*

I picked up 10 rolls at Grand Central Terminal on first day of issue.
I sent 4 in for first day slabbing at PCGS with MS65 min. so I wind
up with more then a couple graded. Of the remaining 6 rolls I found
3 nice coins I may send in for grading later. The rest I have been
actively spending around town.

that's a good point !! I should make it a point to spend the next $50 in those dollars just to spread the wealth !

I forgot. I have twin 9 year old sons and they were doing reports on presidents for
school the day the coins were issued. My first stop with the coins was to their school
so they could hand one coin out to each child in their class (19). I felt this would expose the
children to something them might not otherwise see. Well the teachers were as interested
in the coins as the kids and my children had to bring in a handful more for the teachers that
asked for one. One teacher paid a dollar and asked for one for her coin collecting grandson.

...why not teach your sons business and charge the teacher $1.10? It is less than what the mint wants.

Because that would be stupid.

....UUmmmm! (chomp, chomp) ........I don't think so. I guess it is your opinion that it would be. Well, I simply don't share that opinion. Want some popcorn? Hundred bucks.

Want some popcorn? Hundred bucks.

That really would be stupid.

I just opened 2 rolls, and I would not even consider submitting any, they all have some sort of problems. I am enjoying spending them though. I bought some girl scout cookies from some girls in front of the grocery store, and I can't believe how excited they were to get the new coins.

joeyuk

It's easy. See??? They don't listen.

fastrudy

Okay, ninety bucks....I only take SBA, Ikes, Sacs or Presidential Dollar coins!!

Only if I can be on your reality show.
