lucv13 Valued Member Canada 413 Posts	Posted 08/12/2014 03:23 am I'm not a roll collector but succumbed to temptation when I spotted the George VI set that have been in storage since the 1950's, I hope I didn't pay too much. I figured if I was to try to find and buy these in smaller sets I would probably pay more in shipping alone... What's the general consensus on this the total with shipping is just under $165 Since I was on a roll, (pun intended) I also picked up this 1960 to date 52 rolls for $80 Is there any help available for this Coin Collecting addiction?

Ningcumpoop Valued Member Canada 220 Posts	Posted 08/12/2014 08:40 am I think those are fair prices for a well organized and labelled roll collection. When you get 50 grandchildren, you can make them all a date set. Report this Post to the Staff
ace_ftw Pillar of the Community Canada 1747 Posts	Posted 08/12/2014 6:50 pm Its hard to come by those older than 1940 in rolls, I have only found 1928, 1929, 1938, 1939 (Roll Searching for 3 years). I do have about 20 boxes still to search through though, so hopefully I find some more of them. Report this Post to the Staff

Just bought another bunch of rolls online from a coin shop the 29 32 33 35 36 53 55 56 57 58 and 59 so just missing a couple of years and some key dates which I doubt very much I will ever be able to afford rolls of Edited by lucv13 08/13/2014 02:06 am Report this Post to the Staff
pennysaver Pillar of the Community Canada 937 Posts	Posted 08/13/2014 06:16 am Hi lucv13 I think you did very well; the 1937 is a tougher year to get and it's been running around the $20+ mark on ebay lately. The others are more common, but as ace says, the '38 and '39 are also harder to get than anything later. Go through all those pennies; you should find a good number of clashes, die cracks, and lamination flaws, and hopefully some of those good 1948 and '49 varieties. Lots of potential varieties and errors in the 1960-1982 rolls as well. Good score! Report this Post to the Staff
