Price quote needed: 1939-S BU Lincoln Roll

Coppernicus

Saw one today at a local shop. First 5 or so coins were BU with few, if any, spots. I've got it on "hold" - they want $135. Is this reasonable? Ballpark? Thanks for any input. I need to let them know by tomorrow (Wednesday) afternoon.

hmmmmm........

Wheres Wayne Herndon, hes good at pricing rolls...


if the few coins you see will grade ms66 with PCGs, then it sems worth it to me...

Coppernicus

Lucy - Thanks for suggesting Wayne - great idea! The first five I examined in the roll were high 64 mid 65ish but pretty bright and mostly spot free. Whether there are some lock 66's or a 67 or two, who knows? This is definitely a Gem BU roll - no doubt about that!

P.S. How's the Excel spreadsheet working for you?

It could be if you are trying to cherrypick some nice ones for slabbing.Then sell dupes on Ebay.

Coppernicus

Thanks merz2 - Exactly what I had in mind. I was really impressed with the roll. All his others were '57-P,D, '58-P,D and a bunch of '55-S (yawn). The '39-S roll was unusual and really nice (at least the first five or so.) It's almost a no lose deal since I'm only paying $2.70 per coin and I know I can get at least that on ebay if I had to sell all of them one at a time.

Of course, I'm hoping for a few 66's and maybe a 67 or two. Worth getting slabbed, especially any 67!

I say take a chance and buy it!

I don't think I've ever said it, I don't remember... but..

I love the CopperCats!

Lincoln cents are so cool, I used to get all big eyed when I would find wheaties in circulation...

More Copper Coin collectors for me!

Coppernicus

ttt since we're awake now!

$135 is a little on the high side for an open roll, but if the first couple look nice it could be worth the venture. If it was OBW I'd jump on it.

GS ask is $110, so it is not far off.
