I couldn't resist, I'd crack them open in a heartbeat. Never know what you my find for your main collection, could be some nice upgrades not to mention the possible errors and varieties.

Bust those puppies open! You may find a coin worth more than all the rolls combined... like the 1969S Double Die found in a roll not long ago.

I think I will start with the ones that I have multiples of and are common rolls or loose and probably already been searched. There are a number of memorials that are common wrapped with the brown red or red white and really are not OBW. Most (90%) of the memorials I only paid $3 a roll for, so no big loss. I will hold off on the Federal Reserve wrapped rolls (ie:1943D, 1955, 1969S etc) save them for special occasions. The 25c Lincoln rolls I will put away for a rainy day and maybe open the multiples of those. I just can not sit here and look at them anymore, they need to be set free!! I found this article on rolls, it is pretty interesting- http://www.scvhistory.com/scvhistor...07-coins.htm |

Metalman, My wife thinks I am crazy when she sees me looking at the rolls with my loupe, I know a few of them have varieties on the ends, the 44D has a real nice one on the end. I picked up a bank box of 64's last week, they are beautifully toned on the ends and a couple look to be DDR. As each roll comes in I check the end coins for varieties. This thread got me moving on completing the set, I finished off the missing ones from the 60's, 70's and most of the 80's really cheap (2.50-3.00 a roll). |

I'd have a very hard time not opening all of them. It would be a blast! Thanks for posting the link on roll history chrsb - it was very informative.

If you do open them and have penny remorse, you can always buy pristine vintage cent rolls on ebay and a hand crimper and re-roll them to create more "original bank rolls." For fun, you can also put a shiny new 07 right in the middle. The rolls future owner will be scratching his head for years over how that got in there. I love these. For half dollars but still makes a cool date roll. http://cgi.ebay.com/Lot-10-1940-Coc...rs_W0QQitemZ230204518932QQihZ013QQcategoryZ38QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Edited by Andrew289

chrsb I was trying to locate your post, (on another forum), and when I got little, or no response, "your post", I thought it might be here. Sure enough! I didn't recall if you used round, or square tubes, and after checking very closely, see that you have a "dukes mixture". That is what I wanted to establish, whether I couuls mix, and you proved the point. Now, all my tubes will be square. You can put a round tube in a square hole, but you "ain't never gonn git the squar one in the round hole"! Now as ti where they are available. CAn you tell m, or give me a link? MAny thanks for being there, when I "needed you so badly"!  LOL Dick |

OR you can try TradeWinds: http://www.tradewindssupplies.com/i...bes/list.htmJP is $29/100 B-K is $27/100 Tradewinds is $25/100 I just ordered $300 worth of Dansco Albums and supplies from TradeWinds. When I got the shipment, 2 of the items were mixed up (they sent the wrong items). I just emailed them on Saturday and today they sent me the replacement and let me keep those "wrong items"... pretty nice customer service. |
