matthewpj73 Valued Member United States 187 Posts	Posted 09/29/2011 5:48 pm Hello all, Went to the bank this morning and got some 50 cent rolls to look through and got an entire roll of 1960 D uncirculated cents. Out of the 50, 15 look like the pictures below... I think this is RPM#13, but unsure and have no idea what the value is. All 15 coins are brilliant red, uncirculated. Any assistance with identification and value is appreciated, plus what do you all think of finding 15 of these in a roll? Is this a super-common RPM? Thanks, Matthew Report this Post to the Staff

matthewpj73 Valued Member United States 187 Posts	Posted 09/29/2011 7:19 pm So is this a relatively common RPM? Any value? Seems strange to find 15 in a roll of all 1960D that I just got today from a bank. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/29/2011 10:22 pm It is 013. Nice find! They appear to be MDS examples, more desirable than the LDS examples as the show the stronger RPM. Report this Post to the Staff

DrDon Pillar of the Community United States 2624 Posts	Posted 09/29/2011 11:50 pm One site list it at $19 (MS 63).I think you found a roll that once belonged to a collector. It "got lost" somehow. Report this Post to the Staff
coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 09/30/2011 12:31 am Nothing odd at all about finding fifteen examples of a single die in a bank wrapped original roll. Many of the people who collected the rolls back in the early 60s are unfortunately passing on these days. Heirs take the collections to dealers, and the dealers tell them that the rolls are basically face value spenders, and to turn them in to the bank. happens a lot. These are examples of 1960D-1MM-013. In MS63-MS65 they are worth around $12 to $15 per coin. You'll more likely be able to sell them quickly at around $10 per coin. I would be a buyer of any quantity at $9 per coin and I would sell them (slowly) at $12. Report this Post to the Staff
BJ Neff Pillar of the Community United States 526 Posts	Posted 09/30/2011 09:21 am I opened a roll of 1960D small date yesterday and pulled 15, 1960D-1MM-102. So, it is not uncommon to find a lot of coins struck from the same die in an OBW roll. BJ Neff Report this Post to the Staff
dbrablec Pillar of the Community United States 1944 Posts	Posted 09/30/2011 09:52 am wow - you guys are making it sound like this is an everyday event. even though to does (obviously) occur - it seems pretty remarkable to me. personally I would be THRILLED if that were to happen to me. i guess that is why I am the student - and you are the master(s).

timsumrall Pillar of the Community United States 1256 Posts	Posted 09/30/2011 11:32 am Diamonds are VERY common... in the diamonds fields. Don't let these guys fool you. They have "fields". It is NOT common and it does NOT happen everyday. Getting a roll from the bank of any solid date older than even a couple years is very unlikely. Report this Post to the Staff
matthewpj73 Valued Member United States 187 Posts	Posted 09/30/2011 4:12 pm I think DrDon and coppercoins are right, I think I was just in the right place at the right time, probably the previous day or that morning someone brought in a bunch of what they thought were "spenders" from a deceased relatives collection. I WISH I had a "field" - but no, just a lucky stumble. I guess there are a few diamonds just lying around here and there also. I doubt I'll find another roll like this one anytime soon. As for the value, I think I'm just going to hang onto my 15 "little buddies" - I think they're cute, and who knows, someday they might buy me something special. Thanks everyone, I have a few more things I'm a gonna post on here later! Report this Post to the Staff
