Obws - Original Bank Wrapped Rolls

What bank is the 56-D from? I collect 56-D OBW rolls by bank. I have 17 different from across the country. 1955 was the last year for the Old San Francisco Mint, so in 1956 commercial banks on the West Coast had to get their coin from Denver. It's rare to see a 54-D or 55-D roll from a West Coast bank, but 56-D rolls can be had from all over the West Coast plus all the Midwest banks that Denver normally served. Anyway, I'd love to know which bank the 56-D roll is from. Maybe it's from a bank I don't already have!

Well, at least the rolls were from an actual bank that you can look up their history!

From a random internet article:

"Harris Trust and Savings Bank was in operation from 1907 to 1972. Norman Wait Harris, a Chicago-based municipal bond broker, founded the bank in 1907 after reorganizing his banking business. The bank became one of Chicago's leading banks after World War II, and by the 1970s, it had over $4 billion in assets and employed about 3,500 people. In 1960, Harris Trust and Savings Bank merged with Chicago National Bank and was restructured as Harris Bank, N.A. in 1972. In 1984, Bank of Montreal (later known as BMO Financial Group) acquired Harris."

the 61P and 53S rolls have the following labels. the 55D roll just says 1955 D and the 63P roll has nothing.

as far as opening them the younger and stupider me would have done it. now I just like appreciating something the way I got it instead of the impatient me bursting it open. guess I should edit this one more time to say I bought some of the rolls because I like the toning on the ends. if I opened them id just be looking at sparkling red and white in the middle so it wouldnt be as fun. the 61P has a cardboard piece on the other side so no idea what it looks like there.

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).

So, what are your plans with these rolls?

Good choice. Hang onto them.

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.
