Original bank rolls Tennessee P & D go for much higher than face due to the scarcity. Some group bought up all the rolls they could to make colorized (possibly Elvis sticker) sets of P and D Tennessee quarters, and as a result the value of the rolls is much higher than most other state quarters.

It also seems the 1999 rolls (highest mintage), Illinois, Tennessee & D Wisconsin's (leaf errors?) bring the most on average. When I searched eBay completed listings for 'state quarter roll' and sorted completed auctions by price plus shipping looking at auctions with multiple bids, the highest price paid at auction for a single BU bank roll was $20.50 + 4.95 shipping for this listing http://cgi.ebay.com/2004-D-WISCONSIN-QUARTER-ROLL-H-T-N-F-WRAPPED-/360341376349. The lowest price was for this listing http://cgi.ebay.com/Uncirculated-Roll-2007-Washington-D-State-Quarters-/120681239050. The listings with a higher starting price, a lot go unsold, but closer to $15 + shipping there is more activity.

To those selling individual rolls on eBay it must be. If you have enough of them it may be worthwhile. Even listing them as a lot on eBay will bring you more than driving them to the bank.

50 quarters!!! that makes the shipping FREE! >>
Yes, he shows a $10 roll and states 50 coins in the description. He also says some of the coins are circulated . Lots of conflicting information in the listing which no doubt contributed to the lower than average outcome.
If anyone's looking to get rid of their GA and CT rolls (OBW) to the bank or whatever, please let me know first. Those are the only 2 rolls missing from my kids' complete 11-year set, and so far I've only seen them offered for "moon money".........

Most are worth face value take them to the bank!

thanks folks
<< <i>They are worth what someone is willing to pay for them but the Elvis thing is real. >>
The thing Elvis does for me is real too!
It will only cost you time and it is possible (not very likely tho) you could make a big error score.
<< <i>TOO LATE! $350 face mixed years, bank rolls on the way to the bank. >>
I hope you didn't sell many gems for a quarter each.
I may offer them on ebay but with a BIN, they wouldn't be cheap since the fee's for eBay and PayPal combined eat heavily into their face value.
