Opening an old bank roll (hopefully?) of the 1964d Roosevelt Dimes. FINAL EVALUATION

joeykoins · January 28, 2021 1:19PM

Hi guy's, yes got another great deal from my favorite B+M shop. Only $100. The silver alone is nearly that price. An old roll of '64d dimes.

It most certainly appears to be old? Both enders are toned and has that aged look. Here are some more pictures.

Here's another good sign. Trying to peel the end open with my fingernail, it's giving me a hard time. They're really tight in the roll. A sign they have been in there awhile.

Continuing. Lol The suspense is killing me.
Still haven't opened them. Lol. Hold on, I'll be back...

jmlanzaf · January 28, 2021 1:27PM

BU rolls of 64s are bullion. Why would you expect to pay more?

joeykoins · January 28, 2021 1:30PM

Ok, I'm back! Finally got them opened. Lol. I know what you guys are thinking. "Why in the world is he doing this in his stupid car?" Your right. I know I shouldn't but I'm on my way to work. Can't wait to check these out. At least they don't appear damaged or rusted.

braddick · January 28, 2021 1:31PM

Could be a couple of neat GEMS inside. Really no downside, and it would be fun to open an original roll like this. The end roll toning is interesting too. Please get better photos of it when you're done! I would like to see it completely. Good luck with this roll! You can always get your money back (mostly) just in the silver alone.

Unopened roll and/or 8 possible varieties.

joeykoins · January 28, 2021 1:37PM

Here's the reverse of one of the enders. Beautiful! Still haven't checked for any varieties. Too excited. Lol

joeykoins · January 28, 2021 1:51PM

Here's another. Not exactly a ms 70, but very nice.

I checked two for any variety. None yet.

Have to get to work. Feel like taking the day off. But I really can't. Lol

Yes, I know. But it's still a bullion roll.

joeykoins · January 28, 2021 2:17PM

After 6 coins, NO varieties. But found two with "die chips" in the same spot?

ShaunBC5 · January 28, 2021 3:20PM

Good luck, Joey. I hope you can turn that stick of silver into a bunch of varieties and high end coins!
I bought some old unopened boxes and packs of baseball/basketball cards back in the day. It's a ton of fun opening stuff like this and seeing what hasn't been seen in a long time. The odds of getting a true gem might be slim, but you'll never know if you never look.
I also did the same with original proof sets from the 50s/60s. Lots of fun.

Maybe you'll make enough profit to move out of your car!

Or get a BIGGER one? Lol

Jimnight · January 28, 2021 3:56PM

Silver.

TomB · January 28, 2021 4:47PM

I'd expect they would be all white or with just subtle haze, but what the heck, it's still a roll of MS Roosevelts!

joeykoins · January 28, 2021 5:08PM

Haven't found one FB as of yet. One comes pretty close though.

Namvet69 · January 28, 2021 5:15PM

FB and FT would be nice. Peace Roy

1630Boston · January 28, 2021 5:18PM

I truly love your enthusiasm @joeykoins

If you have a relatively inexpensive quest, it will keep you mentally fit

stockdude_ · January 28, 2021 6:05PM

Rolls are fun.

Nice!!!

Tom147 · January 28, 2021 7:36PM

Well ? We're waiting !!!

joeykoins · January 28, 2021 7:57PM

Other than maybe some RPM's, and the 5 similar die chips, this Shot gun roll of Rosey's are shootin' blanks. Lol.
I have about 14 more to check and maybe some better luck with my scope later. That's about it. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted. Looks like a loss of income from this all. Just a tad. It's alright.
Strange, I found two 1963d's also?
No varieties.

joeykoins · January 29, 2021 12:15AM

Toner

One of many "pointed 9's."

ricko · January 29, 2021 6:46AM

Silver dimes are nice... I find one or two occasionally in the Coinstar reject slot...Cheers, RickO

Crackout · January 29, 2021 9:23AM

I see the price of silver is up this morning. I have a feeling you'll be seeing a profit on that roll in no time!

Meltdown · January 29, 2021 10:34AM

Love those old rolls - These quarters have been rolled and sealed with tape since May 28, 1964

Tibor · January 29, 2021 11:10AM

Back in 1977 I bought 2 rolls each of 1960-64 P&D dimes. A few decent
toners, not one good strike on the bands. Hope you have better luck.

joeykoins · January 29, 2021 12:07PM

Would you consider this a FB Designation? Thanks

TomB · January 29, 2021 2:00PM

I love the die polish on that coin. It's fantastic!

hchcoin · January 29, 2021 2:37PM

Half the fun is the chance of finding something you were not expecting. More power to you. Enjoy.

johnny9434 · January 29, 2021 3:05PM

Rolls of silver is still a wonderful sight

NO

joeykoins · January 30, 2021 11:06AM

Strange repeat die chips are one thing (a total of 5 dimes with the same die chip) and than something else? What in the world is to the right of the die chip, sitting in the other leave?

joeykoins · January 30, 2021 1:26PM

Ok guy's, here is the final evaluation. After examining each one. Unfortunately for me, NO varieties or RPM's. Oh well.
Good side: All Silver. All great looking coins. Fun examining. Reading all your posts. A few toned. Esp. The two enders. Die chip in same area on 6 different coins. One had two on one coin. 8 "pointed 9's". 10 1963d's. Then finally, one coin looking in great condition. The best of the bunch. Here are some pics.

Toner

The two Enders

The pointed 9's

The die chip coins

The 1963d's

The Rest

I'll end up only keeping the enders, the toner and definitely this strange one.

then add some to complete the roll, than hold on, until Silver jumps higher. Thank you all, guys.

joeykoins · February 1, 2021 12:38AM

Sure nothing of any true significance (no varieties), BUT, I paid $100 for the roll ($2 per coin). Silver jumped since. Each dime in silver is now worth $2.10. I' m ahead! Cool.
I'll hold on for even a better silver price.

it looks like a caterpillar on the right leaf and a small nest of them on the left

daltex · February 1, 2021 2:02AM

I guess I'd be pretty upset if I bought something advertised as a BU solid date roll and ten of the coins were not that date/mm.

cecropiamoth · February 1, 2021 2:59AM

@TomB mentioned the die polish. A couple of these images would be perfect tools to instruct beginners on what die polish is and how to differentiate it from hairlines. The two I had in mind (see below) are both wonderful examples of showing how the polish lines are 'raised' and also that they stop at either a letter or device. You can clearly see the polish lines do not cross over the letter or device as a hairline would and actually appear to go under the letter or device. Great job with the images @JoeyCoins
