1967 Original Roll of Washies

I bought this roll a few months ago, and I just got around to taking photos of the end coins. More often than not, I have suspicions about the clad rolls that I've bought, but this one looks like it might be the real thing.

The surfaces on both end coins look lustrous.

Roll end on left side appears to be a bit loose but it could be the real thing.

That's a very early die pair and nice strike on that second one.

That roll could have a gem or three.

Clad, what is it that you are looking at? (I actually thought that the first one looks nicer.)

I had the same thought.

It's the nice even strike on the peripheral lettering and the nice flat
surfaces not displaying die wear. The particular coin is a little marked
up but there are probably five or six coins from the same die pair in the
roll and they could be clean. They might even be earlier die state.

This would be pretty rare for a '65 or '66 quarter but they were doing
a better job by '67 and these showed up now and then.

Thanks, Clad!

Nice looking rolls. But why open them up when they are collectible as they are?

There sure aren't a lot of these around. '67 was fairly heavily saved by
modern standards but over the years most of these have been opened
and most of the coins spent.

I'd be surprised if more than a very few thousand rolls survive.
