Please correct my knowledge here, but it's (supposedly) a Federal Reserve Bank coin roll, so even if it was unopened, there could still be literally any hodgepodge of dimes in there, right? https://www.federalreserve.gov/paym...in_about.htmQuote:
The Reserve Banks distribute new and circulated coin to depository institutions to meet the public's demand. While the Reserve Banks store some coin in their vaults, they also contract with coin terminals, which are operated by armored carriers, to store, receive, and distribute coin on behalf of the Reserve Banks. |

http://www.ebay.com/gds/BU-Roll-Buy...49256/g.htmlQuote:
During this same era, and particularly the 1950s, the Federal Reserve Banks also had wrapping machines and did wrap some of the coins, especially for smaller banks without wrapping equipment. Consequently, one can sometimes find rolls from this era stamped with the name of a Federal Reserve Bank Again, just trying to clarify my knowledge @thq. It appears that there were actual Federal Reserve rolls at one time. This seller also has a roll of 1932-D quarters, bidding is over $1000. There's a sucker born every minute.

Thanks kbbpll. Any roll stamped with the name of a Federal Reserve bank would be the exception rather than the rule, and it would bear the name of a real FR bank, not a fictitious one. The fact that the Denver branch wasn't established until 1918 throws a lot of shade on this listing. IMO a fair bid is for an AU 1917-P dime, an AU common Mercury, and 48 non silver dimes. $40 would be generous, beyond that it's wishful thinking.
In looking at certain cc "unsearched bank rolls" in the past it was possible to find sources of the printed roll wrapping paper available from far east sources.

I am surprised ebay would allow 'chance' listings such as this. He practically implies in the listing title it is a 36-D solid date roll. However, in the item description he says "mix mint and will possibly have earlier date coins as well". It either is, or isn't....can't have it both ways! Shades of the bank wrapped "CC" dollar rolls from The Bullion & Exchange Bank of Carson City Nevada that appeared on ebay several years ago. Wonder what ever happened to that guy?

Crazyb0 I take offense to your slight of Houston. Yes, I am the one that finds & post the crazy craigslist ads in Houston, but I imagine every city has their own crazy listings. Until the guy is proven a fraud, back off. To my knowledge Bobby hasn't removed any of these listings.

I questioned the seller twice on his roll of 1943 quarters:
- Your previous message: Roll 1943 quarters... are all coins uncirculated 1943 quarters?
- New message from: americoins-treasurechest (0): I have not open the roll, but from what I see on the outside, the coin is uncirculated condition.
And another response:
- New message from: americoins-treasurechest (0): The roll has never been opened so I don't know what's inside.

Forty bids on the 1932-d quarter roll as of early Thursday morning. Wow...

Listings like these entertain me, and anyone who buys the stuff deserves what they get IMO. The pictures of chests filled with meticulously stacked perfect rolls. Not just to fill the chests, but to form decorative pyramids. No dust collecting on these rolls. It all looks so fresh... The machines to make the rolls are not necessarily expensive. http://www.coinsupplyexpress.com/tw...BEgK9RvD_BwEAll it takes is a little time in the basement.

Many of these seller's lots have been closed early due to an "error in the listing." But not the 1917-d Mercs or 1932-d Washington quarter roll. Maybe the seller took an early offer and ran? Remember, ebay holds money from zero feedback sellers for a bit of time. Someone needs to break open one of these rolls and file a complaint. I was thinking of bidding on one of the silver quarter rolls for ~$125 but I see the common date "unc" rolls are now over $150. Idiots... |
