    When can I go to my bank and get them at face value?

    There will be no privies in those bags (or in the dollar coins at the bank).

    They were only in the rolls and 100-coin bags sold previously.

    Will see how much interest is generated

    I think the original $100 bags and roll sold predominantly because of the privies. I think most of the buyers were flippers.

    Interest will be practically nil is my prediction. The mint will be dumping these into the channels of commerce. Coming soon to a bank near you.

    I hope so. I predict these will become the 21st century version of hobo nickels. I can't wait to see the artistry.

    It's not worth paying the premium when they will soon be available for face value at the bank.

    And the flippers all flipped the non- privy coins for well over issue price. There was definitely a strong Maher for them. I sold 250 of them in 36 hours @ $3.49 each.

    Is the market now saturated? I don't know. But when I ran out, I still had people asking for more.

    If you can get these at your bank for face value, great... but many of us still can't get new rolls of the 2026 coins at our local banks. Easy to pay a little extra to get them right from the Mint and not have to keep checking at the banks and maybe never get them at all.

    Demand is still strong for non-privy dollars. I brought 120 rolls of 25 coins each to my local coin show a couple weeks ago, Had them for sale at double face value, $50 for 25 coins. Sold all 120 rolls in the first half of the show and if I had more I'm sure I could have sold more.

    The lot of 25 sold at that price. The other BO are people selling multiples. If you want to do more research, feel free. Or you could just continue to speculate in the absence of any data.

    Those were at my local coin club show 10/25/26 in Van Nuys, CA. We've gotten very few 2026 coins at the banks in Southern California and certainly none of these dollar coins.

    Also sold another 100+ rolls on eBay in the last 2 months between $55 and $75 per roll and I make the buyer pay the $6-$8 shipping per roll. Most surprisingly, around 20% or so of my eBay sales have been international sales. Lots of them to Asia, some to Europe.

    Yes. I had similar international numbers, despite the more expensive shipping. I was surprised at how strong demand was, mostly because of the sheer volume of them on eBay. The total number of coins sold their must be a million.

    I sold around 100 non privy coins @$3 each and 5 Privy coins at the Las Vegas show last week. Biggest buyer was Canadian. He bought 40 coins to take home with him. Guy from GB bought 10. Said he was going to go give them to coworkers who didn’t like DT. Quite a mix of people just bought one or two.

    Over time, I've sold 4 different searched 100 coin bags for $225 with free shipping. All sold within a couple of days. One did go to Europe through ebay. They go to a hub for these shipments and after that, responsibility is with Ebay. I probably could have gotten more but it was good to move them quickly.
    As a side note, I cleared about $185 each after fees and postage.

    What I thought would largely happen is that the 100ct bag hunters would just spend the non-privymarked pieces. Unless the hunter was not rewarded with at least two privy-marked surprise tokens per bag, of course. Then the thing to do is offer them all on ebay, charging buyers as much as one can get away with.

    Maybe not smart but patriotic. You know, being America's 250th birthday, start thinking about how much you want to spread a small part of your wealth, wealth made in America, to your fellow Americans. Spend them!

    Why not sell them for two or three times face value and then spread that wealth. 🤷‍♂️

    Or take $30-$50 in Trump coins to the show and buy a gem uncirculated Mercury dime or two. Think of your coin collection as an art gallery. My mentor years ago told me, "don't collect too much junk."

    Montana Bob was an old-time coin and gun dealer who really knew his business.

    Another thing that Bob said was, "don't ever pay more than a dealer would pay." Tough to do. It takes considerable financial resources to pull this off consistently ie not pay more than a dealer would pay. Bob is an established dealer with, by all appearances, considerable resources. I'm a wannabe with few resources. Pretty sure Bob realized that. But he did manage to get me thinking. I sold Bob a few of my metal detector finds. I consider that he gave me top dollar for what I sold him so now I know how much a dealer will pay for Mercury dimes with little wear but shined up to look BU.

    I got $5 apiece from the coin shop for my chrome-colored Mercury dimes, full bands not necessary. :|

    My encounters with Montana Bob were in 1975-76 as I recall. Bob's daughter, her husband and their child lived in the same condominium complex as my wife and I. Montana Bob would show up in Denver from time-to-time to hang out for a time with his daughter's family at their house. I remember vividly those learning-about-coin-dealing sessions with the inimitable Montana Bob. Those lessons have stuck with me for 50 years now so yeah i must have been paying attention to what Bob was telling me.

    Bob was mostly a gun dealer but he really liked silver dollars. The way Bob priced common-date silver dollars was "whatever the price of $1 face value of 90% silver coin in dimes, quarters and halves, add $1 to the price if a silver dollar."
