Looks like a lot of them are from Chicago area.

I just missed purchasing a hoard of OBW rolls from Chicago area. The seller says he had just sold 20 ammo boxes (which each hold ~100 rolls) of OBW rolls from 1950 through 1958 to a SoCal dealer at GS Bid. He said most of the rolls were 1954-S and 1955-S, my favorites. I expect to see a glut of 54-S and 55-S OBW rolls to show up soon. Some of us will sit on 10 or even 100 rolls, but no one wants to sit on 2000 rolls.

thats how I got the harris rolls. they were being sold BIN on ebay and because they werent 58D its like why not at 13 a piece. I know they had more then I bought back when but I only have so much expendable money at a time. I don't know how common the 58P DDOs are but it doesn't look like many are graded as such (i saw 3).

The 58DDO is vanishingly scarce. The probability of you finding one in an OBW roll is probably in the tens of millions to one odds range. But that wouldn't stop some folks from opening the rolls.

They appear to be in better hands than mine.

I probably would have opened them by now... to each his own I suppose.
I do agree that the chance of finding a 1958 DDO-001 is extremely rare.

But not zero.

I would definitely be tempted to open them. I have 3 un-circulated rolls of 1974-D pennies I got from Louisiana National Bank in 1973. I have opened two rolls and found so many errors it is funny. The errors range from grease to worn dies to weight errors but they are pretty and shiny, I did find one with no mint mark which was strange considering they were all supposed to be Denver Mint. I have not opened up the third roll as of yet. So, my hats off for not opening them, I waited 50 years to open them but think I might save one.

I did jbuck, it was fun, I had actually forgotten about them. A lot of errors but then I hear this year from Denver mint was low quality strikes so that may be the reason for the doubling and smears (from grease I think) I will try and post some pics if I can figure this out and ask questions about them..... Cheers

Eh, lets not forget about the chance of an MS-67 or (pray) the impossible 68. A 1959P in 68 would be a 5 figure coin.
