First of all, thank you all for your feedback. On this post and others it has been most helpful. As you can see from the pictures, I wasn't kidding when I said I was about to open the roll but didn't. Obviously, I will have to go ahead eventually and finish what I started.
The roll was my grandfather's who had a stamp and coin shop in NY in the 1960s. Recently my mother pulled what remained from his collection out of storage and asked me to help sort it all out. There are many other rolls like this one (among other things) so though this particular one would not be sellable, others will be. That said, I am inclined to enjoy the hunt and open the rest in good time, no doubt, with my grandfather smiling down on me as I do.
I will!
