Question

I have a roll of uncirculated silver dollars. Will the value be higher if I sell the roll rather than individually?

Community Answer

A roll of uncirculated coins can be very valuable and is a popular option that many collectors and dealers prefer. Unless there is an especially valuable or rare coin hidden in the roll, selling the whole roll is likely more valuable.

Question

If a coin was graded 30 years ago, would the grade have gone up?

Community Answer

A coins grade should never truly change, although standards can vary along with the individual grader. If you have doubt, it doesn't cost much to get coins regraded.

Question

I have a 1940 wheat penny that is missing the "s" in states. I can't find anything close to this coin online. It is in excellent condition. Where could I get this coin graded which is inexpensive?

Community Answer

Missing letters is usually the result of a weak die strike or filled die. There is generally not a large premium as this is not all that uncommon an error.
