    Maybe I should get some rolls if they are getting that kind of money for a 68

    If someone found either of those coins in a roll, my hat's off to him/her. I've looked through about five rolls of new nickels and the condition of the coins has been hideous at best. Out of the five rolls that I looked through there was only a couple MS65's and none better.

    Finding anything better than MS66 in the new nickels I feel is worth setting aside.

    How on earth did the 2nd one at +700 go for MS68 with those hits on the shoulder????? I agree that the coin looks nice but I thought that 68 - 69 were reserved for hairlines and full strikes???

    Looks like all the little rich kiddies came out to play for those two Jeffys. Boy are they in for a shock when the next pops update is released and they aren't 1 of 1 anymore.

    Holy Crap!!!
    These bidders must have a lot of money to throw around..... I understand that most coins found in rolls are pretty marked up, but I'm guessing the pops will grow regardless....

    Could be a set up to create an inflated price reference. Then the sales really start.

    I haven't went through any rolls but is it that tough to get a MS67?



    And another $511.00 for a MS67!

    By the way, when will the new pops reports come out? I will be curious to see if 67's and 68's are going to be that tough to come by.

    The Jeffs I pulled from the mint sets were nice. If one of them isn't a 68 I don't know what is. I'll try posting pics latter on.

    Now the rolls were bad. None of those in my album.

    If you got rolls with these in them you are really lucky.
    I went thru a number of mint sets to find some to turn in.
    Even then it wasn't good pickin's.

    The U.S. Mint issued the keelboats in rolls, P and D.

    I got some good pics but they are way to big. I'll try a lower resolution but only one coin.

    A 2004 P just listed buy it now $750- today. Maybe $500 was a good price? Lots of p's out there. I like Vegas better.

    I've looked through my fair share of rolls and haven't even found ONE that I care to submit. IMHO it had to have come out of one of a batch of Mint sets when the dies were brand spanking new!

    This is the danger in buying a low pop modern because as pop goes up, premium comes down!

    The rolls I bought were in bad shape. I think it's true that those did not come from rolls.

    I was just on the U.S. Mint site to order my proof platinum and saw a 6 coin set of the new nickels for sale. Has anyone ordered/received that set yet? Maybe those nickels came from there. I ordered the Peace nickel rolls and was very dissappointed in them.
