John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 05/03/2012 04:44 am I am guessing that they are U.S. nickels? At $8 a roll has to be circulated and the rolls in the auction are brilliant uncirculated that's why they are so much. Just think, there could be some real nice errors or varieties or even a high grade in those rolls. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
unholyroller Pillar of the Community United States 1903 Posts	Posted 05/03/2012 08:17 am I am assuming you mean $8 BU per coin! $8 a roll for silver nickels would be below melt! There is almost always an added premium for an entire roll of a single date. If even a couple of these coins grade high ( which is unlikely though ) they could be worth significantly more than $8 per coin. Report this Post to the Staff
JamieSpat Valued Member Australia 119 Posts	Posted 05/03/2012 08:58 am Yes that is what I meant. $8 per coin * 240 = 1920. It is close to the estimate but don't forget buyer's premium, etc. Also, most of the estimates on recent auctions are always low. Anyway, will keep an eye and see what happens. Personally I don't believe any of these "never opened could be something rare inside" claims. Cheers Report this Post to the Staff
biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 05/03/2012 10:49 am Goldberg is a very reputable auction house. If they state that they are OBW(original bank wrapped) rolls, then you can take that to the bank. Original rolls from that era are quite uncommon and could very well contain some high grade Full Step coins. However, I would still like to see pics of the rolls though for curiosity's sake.

biggfredd Rest in Peace United States 9104 Posts	Posted 05/03/2012 1:09 pm They'd have to average ms64 to make it worthwhile, and who needs 40-80 of the same coin? Strictly a gambling lot for people with more dollars than sense. Report this Post to the Staff
JamieSpat Valued Member Australia 119 Posts	Posted 05/03/2012 6:55 pm Agree with biggfredd. If you could get 'em a bit cheaper then you could break em up and sell em but I'm not keen on that. Also, they may very well be worth more in the rolls. You break em out and lose collectability I imagine. Report this Post to the Staff
