bright RED rolls of 1959 Lincolns MS67??????

During the long beach show we bought a bag of 1959 Lincolns in plastic tubes. The old boy we bought them from said he put them into plastic tubes back when they came out from an original bag then glued them shut. I bought the 100 rolls with the idea of searching them for pop tops. Well low and behold these darn things are glued VERY tight (I think he used super glue or something). I have to break the top off many of the rolls just to get them open. Well after searching about 10 of the rolls I am realizing this is not quite as exciting as I thought.

Now the pops on these are very low, with just 182 in MS66 and only 5 in MS67 (PCGS numbers of course). During my search I have seen quite a few I thought would make MS66 but I haven't found any I thought would make MS67. These are very nice and I believe him when he said he put these away over 40 years ago. Nice and red and only a small percertage with spots.

Now I might search so more rolls when I get board but I figured some of you might wanna seach some of these rolls as well. I am offering 'unsearched by me' rolls (the tops will still be glued on) for 99 cents per roll plus S&H. Do realize that these things are heavy and do cost a few bucks to ship. I'll sell the rolls I've searched on ebay or elsewhere. PM me if you are interested in some of these rolls before I search keep searching. And if you do find one that will make MS67 I would like to hear about it (so I can kick myself).
