I also have some uncirculated currency (Kennedy 1971(?) silver dollar, $2 bill with some commemorative card, maybe a few others). All gifted at some point. I'd be surprised if the silver dollar is worth more than a dollar, even if it is in a plastic case.

Well, there’s plastic and there’s plastic. The coins I buy (it’s a hobby, NOT an investment) are encapsulated in either PCGS or NGC plastic slabs, from a reputable dealer I’ve worked with for decades. All 1940 and earlier. My favorite is a 1797 silver dollar. Well worn, but beautiful!

Favorite coin story:

Took my youngest son (when he was around 10) to the Smithsonian gold coin room. A huge amount of beautiful and historic gold coins.

He looked bug-eyed at all the gold coins and asked who they belong to.

I said they belong to all of the American people.

Without batting an eyelash, he asked “Which one is ours?”
