Pretty darn cool

I just got to see partial original rolls of 1904 and 1927 double eagles. Talk about luster bombs!

Hopefully you made a super strong offer to acquire them! That's a super cool numismatic experience!

Decades ago, I had a half roll of 1924 Double Eagles. I wish that I had those now!

Cool coins these prices a lot of stuff coming out of the woodwork

And this is precisely why the recent Forum blog revealing a $40,000 price difference for a 1935 no mintmark penny MS68 and 68+ GC auction result is ridiculous. There are many original rolls still extant of gem Unc Lincoln cents from the 30’s and 40’s., aside from original rolls of much more desirable coins.

Do you know if they came in paper rolls prior to being placed into the plastic tubes? It isn't meant to be a trick question, I was just wondering if we had any images of what the original rolls might have looked like prior to the later storage.

I don’t. I just know they’ve been together for 60 years with the current owner and more than likely were acquired that way. So ‘original’ only counts for my lifetime and could be a misnomer

Question does having a roll in this case add to value or diminish? a point or two either way in this case is the difference between 80k and 100k . That is an OG stacker of a high caliber, very cool

Because the term "original" is not guaranteed in this case (confirmed by OP in response above yours), any associated premium is eliminated. Obliterated when one considers the price of gold. Big dogs can't even sell a huge gold bar from the S.S. Central America for melt. The value here is potential high grade coins when the roll is opened and observed by potential buyers.

If there was original intact paper wrapping, I could see that commanding a small premium.

I somewhat disagree. I recall seeing an original role of early 1900 Indian head cents at a FUN show in the 1990s and even though they were in a plastic tube for better storage, they were obviously matched and commanded a premium as a roll.

Indian head cents are different than double eagles!! I believe the discussion is within context of original rolls of gold. If your response was a typo, the 1990s was a completely different market than today, let alone gold was less than 10% of today's price. It isn't a good reflection whether or not a premium would be realized today.

Stack ‘em high. Remember the golden rule: “He who has the gold makes the rule. “ Let’s play guess the grade.

I would personally pay a premium over coin value for a well matched obviously original roll of saints or liberty double eagles. Even if stored in a plastic tube like these were.
