I would have opened it. Save the wrapper, people collect the wrappers too.
Nice find!

There is no way I would not open it. Me neither, I've ripped open at least a couple hundred OBW's over the years....mostly memorial cents though. Lincoln Cent Lover!VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/

Searching OBW rolls is a great way to find RPMs and stuff.

Oh, I would have definitely tried to preserve the wrapper. No promises though. The coins would still be the primary objective.  |

My father had a us & foreign wrapper collection. I believe it went back to the '40s, for US. I believe he could tell the age of the wrapper by font style.

Well, good luck. The '54-D WRPM-001 is one of the best.

OWB rolls are the best! I recently got my hands on 20 of the 1960-D large date rolls, found tons of RPMs.  Edited by cwb

Yes, was.  However, in my opinion you are better off knowing what was inside.  |

Maybe, there is always the "Greater fool theory" to consider. It can be amazing what some people will pay for a pig in a poke.

First thing I too would have done is open it. I just like coins and a roll sitting there not opened would drive me nuts.
