I am thrilled finally found Philadelphia National Bank OBW rolls

These rolls are harder to find than you would think! Not opening these silver roosevelt obw 10c rolls!!!

Not knowing anything about bank rolls, just wondering... Is there something special about the bank or those rolls?
I believe Phila Natl Bank was eaten up in a series of mergers over the years and is now part of Wachovia, which bought out Corestates Bank last year.

What are the dates?

jeffnpch: I do not have them in yet. I just won them today.

Shamika: The seller does not know the date but says they are silver. I do recognize these rolls as from the 1956 through 1965 era. On three rolls I paid $80. On another 3 rolls I paid another $86. The value is not in the coins themselves. The value is in the originality of the paper product themselves.

Here is a picture of the famed PNB building. It was built in 1901.

I have it down that The Philadelphia National Bank through a series of absorbing smaller banks became PNB. Then they merged with First Fidelity to become Fidelcor then became part of Corestates then part of Wachovia.

Saving these rolls go hand in hand with saving the National Currency these banks also produced!
