I will certainly keep an eye out for suspicious rolls


Then again....some of those "suspicious" lookin' rolls might just contain coins that have NOT been gone through. You might find 57 Silver War Nickels in a small batch of customer wrapped rolls ! (like I did ! ....)

You never know what's in ANY roll until you look through it. I have found keepers in every sort of roll imaginable. I have found total junk in the most "promising" looking rolls. This is definitely a case where you cannot judge a book by its cover.

The guides are great, but if you look at expired auctions you can often find graded, slabbed coins going bidless way below "fair market value". For example, a 1954 S MS67 just sold for 51 bucks today, with the seller really only bringing in about $40 after fees.

The devil is in the details- who was selling the coin and who graded it are two very important factors.

Well, you are not joking. Tonight I found a roll of 1954S in my stash. This roll was all taped up with OLD tape, but you could make out what I thought was a 1959 written under it. Nope, 1954! They are certainly uncirculated, but brown and no luster.

And something else interesting. I opened 3 rolls of 1968D, and two of the rolls contain full red coins with original luster. The third roll is full of coins that look absolutely amazing, very mirror like, no spots, and VERY few scratches. They are dramatically different in color, being brown but with full luster. They look more like polished bronze than copper. The contrast of the different rolls spilled out next to each other was really cool looking, I have never seen that before.

I've found what looks like a couple of machine doubles, but I'm gonna finish tomorrow.
