    The PCGS price guide lists the 1996's at $130 in MS69 and most other dates are under $50 for MS69. 20 rolls worth at $130 each gives you a total price of $52,000.

    I see rolls of these offered as BIN's on ebay for 1000 bucks or so a roll, 500 a roll is pretty good for them.
    imageQuid pro quo. Yes or no?

    If the rolls are all milk spotted, they would have almost no numismatic premium. If they are all pristine gems (MS 69+), it's a bargain. I should note that raw 96s are going for between $35-$50 on ebay. To get the most bang for the buck you gotta slab 'em.

    even at 35-50 thats 700-1000 a roll
    CDN bid is 42.00

    500 a roll seems like a bargin you might even get him to go down on price

    Personally, it sounds bogus to me, but I may be wrong.

    Well, I know nothing of grading or anything so I think I'll leave it alone. Sounds like a great deal though. If anyone is interested I'll direct you to the ad where you can email him/her.

    I would not touch it unless I could pick them up in person at a public place.

    Of course. He did show pics in the listing, It was a green box full of tubes, one was open. I asked for a pic of them with my email addy on a piece of paper in front of the ASE's to see if he actually has them.

    be careful as the type of listing sounds suspicious

    Wear a bullet proof vest and make sure you know kung-fu when you pick them up.

    If I were to go through with it I have CCW and I'd take a few buddies with me. Maybe Bruce Lee & Jackie Chan. They're my boys from way back. image

    Yeah, agreed.

    I'd need to see them first and in a public place like my bank lobby.

    I have several of them in PCGS slabs, nearly all MS 69 and one very lucky 70.

    Problem with a couple of the 69's and a few of the raw ones are that they are horribly milkspotted.

    If they were problem free and clearly UNC in the tubes, I buy the batch in a second.
    "Lenin is certainly right. There is no subtler or more severe means of overturning the existing basis of society(destroy capitalism) than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and it does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose."
