What to do with a sewn bag of 1979 Philadelphia dollar coins

#1 Unread post by Fidelity20 »

Folks:
I found a sewn US mint bag of philadelpha 1979 Anthony dollars ($100). I don't know if I should cut the sewn bag to look at the coins. What is the best way of disposing of the bag with the coins? Should I open the bag and look for wide band vs narrow band? Suggestions? Thank you.

Check ebay SOLD auctions for wide rim vs, narrow rim and also for $100 sealed Susan B Anthony bags of dollars. The decide which way you want to go.
