Workin late, taking a break, does an OBW Roll of 1958-D Lincolns have potential?

SanctionII

As stated in the title, I'm workin late and takin a break. I picked up an original OBW Roll of Lincoln cents, 1958-D last week for the cost of a fast food lunch. Are there any cherries that can be found in such a roll (i.e. varieties, etc.), or is it something where I will be looking only for high grade (67 or above) material? BTW what does an MS 5, 66 and 67 late 50's wheatie look like and how much are they worth?

There are a few nice OMM's including one that multiple mint marks which don't even
overlap. There are some minor DDO's also.

Superb gems are well struck and free of even small marks. 66's will have some minor
marks but will be very clean. 65's are low grade gems and are nice strikes and rela-
tively clean.

Thank you Cladking. Always nice to read your posts. I will have to open the roll and inspect the whole lot with a loupe. Should be a fun way to spend 20 minutes.

Thank you Coinbuf for the pic. I printed it out and will use it when I look through the roll. Maybe I'll get lucky and find some 67's. I note on the PCGS price guide that 67's are listed at $40.00. Is this value anywhere close to being accurate?

coinbuf

Not even close The last time I checked the pop was 38/0 and 67's are selling on heritage for $800-ish.

Holy cow, guess I had better be very careful when I check out the coins and put them in separate flips or Whitman single holders.

Good luck and if you want more to scratch your itch, I have about 60,000 Lincolns socked away in the vaults.
