First find question ?

[mack3]

I'm new so bear with me! My first trip and I came home with these! Are these worth anything more than face value? I hit several banks and these were the first available! Thanks for any insight. I have 13 each P & D

Very cool.. I would keep one or two each, then return others into the wild, or if you want to do the ebay thing, maybe the usual hassle w/ that though..

 

[westkybanded]

Awesome!

Yea, I'd keep a roll or two of each, and ebay the rest. Very nice!

Welcome. Wow , u got 26 mint rolls of those? Yeah u should be able to sell unc mint rolls of NIFC's for more than fv. I got a couple of those mint rolls from a bank a few years ago. I think mine were '07's or '08's.

Good luck & HH!

 

[westkybanded]

On eBay right now, they look to be bringing about $30 a roll...

 

[mack3]

All mint rolls 13 D & 14 P. 27 rolls!!

I almost didn't take them because they were all "new"

 

[drewbaccas]

If you don't do ebay a coin shop would buy them for more then face value.

Are they all 2006 coins?

 

[mAGma]

Heres some links to some SOLD auctions if you havent already checked. I wouldnt expect 30 a roll...but still a good find

2006 D 50c Kennedy Half Dollar Roll | eBay

2006 P D Kennedy Half Dollar Rolls 20 Coins Each BU | eBay

Both of those look to be about 18 a roll but with free shipping. After shipping and fees, theres a few dollars to be made if its worth your time

They are all 2006 coins.

Looks like I will be learning how to ebay!

Thanks again for the continued information!

Just so that you are informed: Ebay and Paypal fees on an $18 item would be about $2.62. I would think it would cost at least $3 to ship a roll of halves. By my calculations, you are down to $2.38 profit per roll and you still have to pay for gas to get to the post office, and thats assuming $3 will cover shipping. It may not. If all the rolls sell at once its not so bad. If they sell 1-3 at a time, you're gonna be making several trips to the post office incurring more and more expense each trip. You could conceivably lose money at $18 per roll.

One thing to combat this is to sell the rolls in lots of 'X' number of rolls. There is a flat-rate shipping box that will hold many rolls and costs ~$5.90 and I believe that includes tracking and even a little insurance.

Just some things to think about. There are others on this forum with way more ebay experience than me that might be able to give you better and more accurate advice.

Keep 3 of each. The rest, turn it into 90% silver.

Offer them for sale at your local coin shop (LCS). Whatever they offer, ask for $2/roll more - but in trade for junk silver. They will always offer less than they would be willing to give and they have some wiggle room on their offer price when you are spending it all back into their store.

A postal employee should be able to come to if you schedule a pick up appointment with someone from there (free).

[maverick]

Just my opinion but, I would just dump them and move on, not worth the few bucks you MIGHT make, of course all I care about is Silver so my opinion doesn't count much for the TRUE coin collector. Godd luck with what you decide to do. HH, Maverick.

 

[iontyre]

I don't need an entire roll, but if you break any of them up I'd be interested in a P&D specimen from each. I recently purchased 2012, 2013, and 2014 rolls from the mint, I could trade...

 

[Joe777Cool]

I've sold the Mint rolls a few times. if you can afford to sit on them, throw them on eBay for double face with a best offer option. The will most likely sell for 1.5-1.75 times face.

 

[fish on!]

I found a couple of rolls like that once. After researching the potential profit I realized it wasn't worth my time. I ended up selling them to my local coin shop for face value. I think the guy gave me a few half dollar tubes for free that day.
