I bought a couple of those bags each new issue for quite a while, at $35 a bag AFAIR, for $25 face vale. I have nearly 40 of those darned things and I don't think any of them ever increased in value. Anyone have any idea how to sell them to recoup the maximum of my "investment"? Are any of them worth a premium?

Spend the quarters and e-Bay the collectible US Mint bags for $12 each. That way you make 2$ per bag. Otherwise, I think you will have to hold them for half of forever for them to be worth anything more than face plus bag.

ETA: Some of the collector sites suggest looking through the bags for mistakes or unusual coins. Apparently there were a bunch of Wisconsin coins that had a mistake on them that are collectable, and the mistake is well documented and easy to see.

You have gained something valuable. The knowledge of never again buying overpriced and undervalued coinage.
Priceless!

Find a state that has 5 cent bottle/can deposits, and buy a bunch at 6 cents apiece, then bring them to a state that has 10 cent deposits, easy mony....Ok, not really easy but you'd definitely break even Big Grin

Stamp a "B" on them, and sell them as Bitcoins on Craigslist?
