Roll pricing question please

coinbuf

Does anyone have access to the current roll price for 1955-S Lincoln cents, BU rolls?

Thanks in advance.

Not sure but a quick search online and they appear to be just about $20 for a roll

The 1955-S has been between $15-$20 for decades. It's on the high side of the range right now, but will probably settle down to $18 over the next few years.

There were many millions of BU coins saved in roll and bag form due to the closing of the SF mint in 1955. Same with Dimes. There are rumors of a hoard of 1955-S totaling ~7M coins. If that hoard or a similar one is ever released, maybe the roll price will go down to $15 again.

It's my favorite roll to search. If the roll is original, I always find multiple RPMs, BIEs, and phenomenal quality coins. One time I searched a group of ~100 rolls, and boy was that fun. So much of interest in that date.

My $0.02.

Thanks Ray, I had the $15 number stuck in my head but when I checked ebay and saw all the $20+ asking prices I was wondering if I was misremembering.

Retail wise, the current Coin magazine shows 27.50.
