That's a great question radatat. I think if possible, maybe try getting a refund for them. It's your choice though, not mine.
Errers and Varietys.

yeah E and V, tough question. I will call and point out our discussions and see what they have to say. High MS 1963's do have some value, and there may be some that are toned. I'll let all know what I learn. Best Rich

Not trying to sideline this thread,But would latex Dr type gloves work? Or just cotton gloves?

Newbie, recommend cotton, the latex just may have PVC in them and can retain micro particle that may scratch, I do use them, but carefully and mostly CRH because of nasty coins and health reasons. The coin I see showing, yea know it's obscured by plastic, doesn't seem to have enough reflective qualities, these all look business strikes. Ain't no mint issued roll like that. Money back time. |

If they were sold to you as proofs - they may indeed be proofs but in what condition who knows? And if you are going to return them you may void the return policy by opening them.

Ok I spoke with the broker and he said that all of the coins would have the double strike proof strike but since they were received in bags they may get lower grades. I plan on opening one and seeing what I have and then deciding on the other. Thanks again. Rich

Inconceivable that any of them could still be gems. I'd walk away from this if you can. Proofs by the roll?  Edited by Coinfrog

Wait... Proof coins were "received in bags"? Did they ever do that? We're they always delivered by the mint in sealed sets, at least since the 20th century?
Even if they went directly from a sealed set into a tube, there may be marks. But in bags? Dings galore, for almost certain.

Hate to say this, but 'proof' coins in an after-market holder are a pig in a poke. Your choice is to either break the seal and examine each coin or return for refund.
I would return them, and seek out proof coins individually, were it mine.

Proof coins were never put into bags by the mint ,and only num-nuts dealers or collectors would do so . Bottom line; don't buy proof coins in rolls, tubes or bags . Run forest run !  |

Radatat, I'm just wondering what your rationale was for buying the coins. If it no longer seems sound, then return the coins.

So I'd say go for it ,there is no need for rational here, we pay money to buy money ,where is the rational in that?Good luck to you pal.  Keep us posted. Edited by Chase007
