My Grandparents lived in San Francisco all their lives. My Grandfather got the bag in 43, from the Mint. Or at least that is what he always told me. He said he got it because he thought it would be worth something some day. I got it from him shortly before he passed away in 1984. He also had BU rolls of Lincoln Cents from every year he lived in the City until they stopped minting them. At least one roll and more likely two or three. Except for 68 where he had 30 rolls and 69 where he had a dozen rolls. From 70 to 74 he had 4 rolls each. I got those too. When I got them I told him it would have been cooler had he saved rolls of Dimes,Quarters and Halves. He said he had one of each from 1936, when he moved to the City, till they stopped making them. He also said he had sold them to a coin shop when the Hunt brothers ran the price up in 80. What I would give for those rolls of Merc's.
