    It's not too bad for 42 rolls, I think.

  • Maybe it is the wieght of 42 rolls. Either way, looking at the high bid now (gee I wonder why no one has bid), this is how he obviously wants to make the money. image

    Hey,
    I am going to tell you that it is not far off.

    Coppercoins and I made a deal a few weeks ago on some original rolls of 60-d Lincolns. He informed me that you can ship approx 20 rolls in one of those 4.00 flate rate envelopes. However, I could never get any post office office in this area to honor that charge. Everywhere I tried, they indicated that it was for documents only.

    I ended up only being able to ship him 20 rolls which cost him over 12.00 in shipping at the slowest, cheapest way to go. I felt bad because I could not honor our original deal, and ended up dumping 50 plus rolls of 40 year originals into the banking system.

    Just thought you would like to know,

    Additionally,I knew where i could get my hands on dozens more original lincolns from the 50's up, but passed because of the high cost of shipping out to buyers????

  • Yea your right shipping 42 rolls of quarters would be expensive. When I posted this thread I thought he was charging $37.50 for one roll.

    I should have read his auction more closely I guess!

    Nah, it's more fun to accuse first and worry about the truth of details later.

  • When I have to ship cheap rolls I use media mail rate. Twenty rolls is about 7 pounds. That would only cost about $4.00. It can also be insured, although you have to provide your own box to ship it in (you can't use a priority box). After the last rate hike, the PO stopped using the flat rate envelope.
