ESTATE LOT!
Heck, if this is really an estate lot then I must be ancient history!!!

BTW, in a padded envelope, I'd be suprised if the lot even made it there whole. Padded envelopes do NOT work for such heavy items.

Congrats, I guess...
<< <i>Am I missing something? Did the OP just pay $52 for $14.50 worth of pennies? The seller says that there are stuff like a 69-S in there, but he doesn't say that it's an entire roll of 69-S's.

$14.50 worth of pennies? What planet are you on? I'll buy all you have at face. They are uncirculated rolls, and each one is worth a minimum of $1 per roll no matter how you look at it. If you don't believe me, do a little homework in the greysheet.

Oh, I believe you -- it's clear that you're more the expert on this than I (which isn't hard to begin with). Like anything with coins, different items have different values to different people. While I might be talked into paying a dollar a roll for these, no way would I pay $52. But that's just me...
<< <i>no way would I pay $52. But that's just me... >>
Me too...I definately agree with you. While the winning bid was okay for the coins, the shipping was WAY out of line.

flaminio is right. This would concern me. Initially, I assumed we were talking about a 69-S mint roll among others.
<< <i>(Please excuse the use of the term "penny") >>
Excused. I use it just to p*-off the pedants
stay away from ebay.........

Can you sell me a few rolls please of 69-S?

Since you said please, I sure will. I don't know how to use the boards yet. My email is rtaylor@hlncoins.com
Bought a mint sealed bag in Reno years ago looking for double dies of course.

Now I bought that lot for one reason only. The Boy Scout troop wanted a lot big enough to search and lately, it has been somewhat difficult to find a decent quantity of unc. rolls at less than $1.75 delivered. On the east coast, finding S mint rolls are harder to find than even the 1969 and 1971-P's despite their lower cost.
When I buy rolls I try to buy the obw rolls at a premium over the greysheet.
Remind me to let you know how this lot works out for the kids!
And searching through all of those pennies would probably be more fun than going to see 5 new movies or 1 professional sporting event (at least for me)
once you get them and spend a couple weeks searching, let us know what gems you found !
You mean 1972-P DDO?
I did find 7 1972-P DDO's in 1972!!!
I will now have to wait until I am retired to look through my other cents (the opened rolls/bags).
The Scouts will look at these cents for me. Their eyes are so much better than my 50 year old eyes!!!
Also it is doubled die
according to them PCGS has just certified 27 pieces.....

While I'm asking, what are the other desirable dates for UNC memorial cent rolls? Thanks,

Is there a specified time period prior to croaking that one is supposed to cease collecting?

So here is what I got (using old June 27th greesheet bid numbers):
1964-P======= .70
1968-D (2)====1.60
1968-D====== .80
1968-S (5)====4.00
1969-S (2)====2.00
1970-S (4)====3.80
1971-S (3)====5.10
1972-S (2)====2.40
1973-S (3)====4.80
1983-P=======2.00
1986-D======23.00
1987-D (3)====4.20
1989-P (2)====2.60
1991-P=======1.05
Total $56.25 (if I added it right)
I paid $52 including s&h.
I survived ok. Some of the rolls are really superb.
I think that you did just fine.
29 Rolls is about 10 LBS of coin. Depending on how he shipped them, I don't think that you got ripped.
