techwriter Pillar of the Community United States 1285 Posts	Posted 12/12/2015 6:35 pm I believe there used to be a company called Simcoe Coin in Barrie, Ontario. Curiosity got me so I looked it up and found: http://simcoecoin.com/shop/category/coins/ Not much displays but does give an address. These coins could be one of theirs.? Report this Post to the Staff

Susuman Pillar of the Community United States 595 Posts	Posted 12/12/2015 7:23 pm Well, let's see. The votes for 'open' are outnumbering the others about 4 to 1. So, let's see where it is by tomorrow evening and I'll decide. I am a believer in democracy though Report this Post to the Staff

fjrosetti Valued Member United States 75 Posts	Posted 12/13/2015 5:39 pm If you do not open the roll, someone else down the line will. So, take the enjoyment for yourself; don't leave yourself wondering for the rest of your days! Report this Post to the Staff
Susuman Pillar of the Community United States 595 Posts	Posted 12/13/2015 8:57 pm The votes are in, and they say 'open it.' No turning back now - it has started. Report this Post to the Staff

Susuman Pillar of the Community United States 595 Posts	Posted 12/13/2015 9:52 pm Ok, and here are the results They are all 1943 uncirculated cents. Most of them are toned to some extend, though some are really pretty. A couple have toned fingerprints on them. The edges are certainly darker than the faces. Here are a couple photos. Ok. I am going to need some help with variety attribution. I already can see that there are a limited number of varieties - almost half the roll has the same die crack. I will sort out the varieties and then post as soon as I can (30 min perhaps?) Report this Post to the Staff
wildflowerAB Pillar of the Community Canada 2845 Posts	Posted 12/13/2015 10:16 pm Wouldn't we all wish that we could stash something away so 72 years later it would become a dedazzling surprise to another. Congratulations, so glad you weren't disappointed! Report this Post to the Staff
purelywasted Pillar of the Community Canada 1505 Posts	Posted 12/13/2015 10:22 pm Awesome, a very cool surprise. Enjoy the sort. Report this Post to the Staff
Smallcentguy Pillar of the Community Canada 1984 Posts	Posted 12/13/2015 10:59 pm I predict that the value of MS63 to 64 1943 cents just declined 10%.... Seriously, it looks like you have many that will make ICCS red. Maybe a couple that are PCGS red. Given the general appearance, I suspect you have a 65 or 2 in there. Report this Post to the Staff
Susuman Pillar of the Community United States 595 Posts	Posted 12/13/2015 11:05 pm Here is what I can see about varieties. I looked through the list of varieties on coinsandcanada.com but couldn't find the varieties I have. 31 coins have the same radial die crack that is right on the right edge of the X in REX. The die crack extends from the rim into the hair. There are a couple small chunks out of the die crack making small lumps. 7 coins have the same radial die crack that just touches the left tip of the V in VI. The crack extends from the bottom center of the denticle over the left side of the V and terminates at Georges eyebrow. 3 coins have a die crack and big chip just to the right of Georges eye. The crack runs vertically half way down his face. The crack does not seem to extend to any of the edges. It might extend along his eyebrow. 6 coins have a big 'pimple' in the field between Georges chin and the 'o' in 'George.' There are other bumps visible in the fields of the obverse. On the reverse, there are bumps or die chips on the right side of the 4 in the date and a big one near the top of the gap between the 1 and C of '1 CENT" The last 3 coins have a number of bumps in the fields. A small one on the frond edge of Georges chin on the obverse. On the reverse, there is a big one below the '1' in '1 CENT' and an number of bumps or chips near the top of the 9 in the date. So, of 50 coins, there are only 5 varieties. Does anybody have any ideas? Sorry I am not posting picture of these. I will try to get some and post them, but I am going to have to do something with my camera set-up (or lack of). Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 12/13/2015 11:15 pm Just make sure those album pockets are not PVC. If that is the case seal the pockets of the album with a high quality acid / alkaline free tape to keep atmospheric moisture out, and don't fall out when handling the page. Ya done well.

Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10038 Posts	Posted 12/14/2015 12:35 am Those are beautiful coins Thanks for sharing this with us. What an experience! Quote: Sorry I am not posting picture of these. I will try to get some and post them, but I am going to have to do something with my camera set-up (or lack of). Here is a quick and almost no cost setup for macro pics. Since this listing I improved on it by buying a $1.00 iphone case, attached the lens to the backside of the case, and then taped the case on a block that puts it around 3 inches up from the coin. Hardly any cost and does what I need. https://goccf.com/t/243488 Here is an amazing thread by DarthMorgan: https://goccf.com/t/160092 I am working (slowly) on making a similar setup, but I used a translucent ice cream bucket instead of the box he bought. I have not experimented with lighting as I have not been trying to capture color and luster (yet) - just macros. How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?
