    Would you mind sending me a photo of that paper you referenced? I'd love to read it. Thanks!

    That particular example and paper combo was a 1990's inventory item that Russ saw at the time and was then sold over 25 years ago, possibly in one of my mail auctions (I tend not to warehouse things). I've seen a couple more with paper among the numerous other examples seen since then. (A quick search of the first couple pages of Worth Point listings show at least five examples sold between $12 and $30 without papers in the past few of years - they do show up.)

    Soggy day in Baltimore... but I got these in the mail today... The 1799 was a total impulse buy on ebay. I had been looking for 1799 Draped Bust LCs on Heritage (I need to rejoin :-/), GC, several EAC dealer websites and price lists, etc... and just got discouraged. Even heavily damaged pieces, when you can find one are a bit spendy.

    On this 1799 Half Penny, there's microporosity over the entire coin that may not show up in the image and some of the lettering is struck through, but there's enough meat left on it and a bold date.

    The 1806 was a complete surprise... The dealer included it with my order! Thanks Jeremy!! (Middledates on ebay) Lower grade and cleaned, but much better surfaces than the one I actually paid for... lol... I'm all in for ~$25




    Those are fun! I have the monster two penny piece from 1797. B)

    I most definitely will. I don’t usually buy so called bank rolls. But! I am very familiar with these old Woolworth rolls. That, and I have done some research on these and they came from a bankers vault that passed away. The family sold these rolls to an auction house. This roll, along with a few others came from his vault on long Island New York just recently.

    Is it possible to submit the unopened roll to one of the major grading services and request that they put "Woolworth Vault Hoard" on the label? That would be really cool. B)

    That would be cool, though an expensive gamble. These could all be circulated common date Peace dollars here. Of course, I'm hoping for ten 1921 matte proofs for our friend.
    Good luck!

    The same seller has a 20 coin Morgan Woolworth roll ending today on eBay. My guess would be almost all are circulated as this was done in the 1960’s. Roll looks tight & undisturbed.

    What if they are mostly cleaned or 1921 coins? You may not get your chicken diner. :D

    @PerryHall: apologies for the confusion. I was referring to the 1795 post yesterday. I would not buy that roll, but that’s just me.

    Look forward to your photos and I agree with @PerryHall I would contact grading companies to see if they would accept the roll and if real label it Woolworth....

    Not the same seller I bought mine from but the roll came from the same vault. It’s legit. I will post the uncirculated coins when I receive them.
    Thanks

    I’m sure these rolls are legit. I’ll keep you posted.

    Update: the Woolworth Morgan roll was ended early by the seller @ the opening bid of $1000.
