Still pretty new to coin selling.... quick question... do you leave the half dollar or dollar coins rolled or open the roll and sell individually? I see some people sell full rolls, but how do they know what’s in there? Or do they re-roll? Don’t people want the original paper used to roll? I’m so sorry.... I know these questions sound dumb, but I’m clueless about this, and I don’t want to regret it when I get ready to list more.
I don't know why anyone would buy an unopened roll without opening it to look at what's actually inside. There is a market in full rolls, particularly silver dollars... mixed date rolls, solid-date BU rolls, etc. Most BU rolls of dollars are "put together" rolls, the marginal grade coins left over after they picked the solid MS-63 or better coins out, and are priced accordingly.
An original old roll of BU dollars with high grade coins in will sell for substantially more money, but no one is going to believe that's what is in it without seeing the coins. More likely, on eBay, an unopened roll may contain many AU "sliders".
Whatever it is, if you're selling it on eBay, you want pictures of the coins inside. To do otherwise is an open invitation to have some buyer claim they were all Ike Dollars, and return same to you... something they could do anyhow, but there's no point in inviting it. If you've got better BU coins in the roll, you'll probably get more money out of it selling them as individual coins. An unopened roll of unseen silver dollars is a considerable risk to the buyer (even though people buy them this way)... but on eBay, buyers have no risk, which means they are a considerable risk to you, the seller.
