Some of the best original Ike rolls I've ever seen.

The other day, I was lucky enough to purchase a few original Ike rolls, a full 71-D, a full 72-D and a partial 72-D. They came today, and they are JAW DROPPERS. The full rolls were unopened. I haven't seen Ikes with that kind of luster in mint sets. They are stunning. They had to have been intact since 72. I haven't had time to do a full assessment, but the half roll appears to be all pegged-leg and the full roll isn't. Below are a few quick shots. The first coin practically glows. The louped pic is of a second coin (pegged-leg). More tomorrow. Tonight I'm smiling.

Where on earth did you get the rolls? Not from a dealer's shop was it?
I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

From the description I'd have figured these things came straight out of circulation
and had little collector value. Your bid was very strong so it's hardly surprising you
won.
Congrats! Most of us don't get this many big scores.
Sam, she listed the coins originally in an estate sale with pictures. I saw the Ikes and asked her if the large listing didn't sell whether she would break out the Ikes. The large lot went unsold, and she wrote me back and agreed to list the Ikes with a BIN. The mintmark wasn't specified. I figured anything under $1.50 would work regardless of the MM. I was unusually lucky.
