1943 Lincoln BU Rolls?

BicentenBen

...any experience out in cyberspace with picking up 1943 Lincoln BU rolls on eBay and slabbing some of the resulting examples? Just curious as I've always been fascinated by the 43 Lincoln so I thought about the option of picking up some rolls and slabbing them. I guess I'd call success....buy the rolls and they are original (not cleaned)...good quality (really match up with BU)...and then have a few good coins to submit and get some above a MS65?

Thanks.

Nice quality BU rolls are usually tougher to find without any discoloration and/or rust.

Ones that I've seen are usually just avg quality and not worth sending in.

I owned a bankwrapped roll of 1943 steel cents a few years back, never opened it, but sold it in the original shotgun wrapper. No clue what the coins looked like.

BicentenBen: Approximately 20 roll collectors and I have banded together to make sure that we never sell original BU rolls including the somwhat available 1943 cent rolls to collectors that want to open them up to have them slabbed.

Our club is called Preserve Rolls In Solid Sets Yonder (PRISSY).

We are getting more militant about preserving the rolls just as they are since they are a vanishing breed.

Good luck! We will be there trying to PRISSY up all the rolls!

The '43 roll is relatively available. Prices are strong for them because the demand
is strong and a lot of these have had storage problems. It just doesn't take much
moisture to give them dark edges. Sometimes these rolls are very bad.

cladking is correct. We in the PRISSY club do not let anyone buy these 1943 rolls cheap anymore!
