Would a roll of 1955D MS quarters have any numismatic premium today?

The roll has been opened (I could not resist). Two end roll toners are present (one's obverse is toned and the other's reverse is toned) with the toning being a mottled light grey. The 50 coins are nice MS coins, with most of them probably falling into the MS63 range. Many of the coins have light spotting on them.

The silver content of the roll is just over 7 ounces (0.18 ounce per coin times 40 coins) and the bullion value of the silver is about $325.00 (at $45.00 per ounce, didn't silver nose dive to the $45-$46 range today?).

In other words, should I hold onto the roll as a collectible or sell it for melt?

    You will get a small premium for the better condition MS coins (i.e. 64 and above).

    Reroll them into those fake looking old shotgun rolls and put them on ebay. image

    from what I've seen & heard, 1955-D is regarded as a possible sleeper of a date for Washington quarters with a low-ish mintage but as I understand it, a LOT of them were saved so they are still pretty common.

    I would not pay a premium for the roll unless it was still bankwrapped. You might do better on ebay though.
  • Dont quarter rolls contain 40 coins, not 50? image
