Mint bag value

PTVETTER

I have a few of U.S. Mint bags (the $1000.00 quarter bags) that the state quarters came in.

Does anyone have an idea what they are valued at?

I have an older $50 one cent bag in nice shape and always figured it was worth $8.
Of course you have to find someone willing to pay that. I don't know about the quarter bags.

A few years back the mint was selling them for $8.95.

I remember a friend who had a U. S. Mint bag labeled $1000 in $5 gold coins which I thought was really neat.

I picked up a group of old mint bags a while ago. It was about 60 bags, IIRC, and I paid $100 for them, delivered.

I use to get a $1000.00 bag from the wholesaler for each state quarter P and D mint then sell rolls to the local dealers.
That got expensive over time with dealers cutting thier orders and in fact I still have a bag or 2 still mint sewn $1000.00 bags left over, too bad they are not the better dates.

Maybe I will use them to put together $1000.00 bags of silver coins.
or 5000 wheat cent bags.

My son got an immense haul of bags from a bank for free. Some were mint bags. He used them to pack customer's purchases at his yard sale. I had a dirty one and washed it. It had unbelieable shrinkage.

Is it high in sulphur? Will it still tone coins?
