A small Susan B. Dilemma

Stew

Today Mother Stew called and said she had something for me. Went over to her house and she handed me 2 original bank rolled Susan B. Anthony rolls. She said she got them at her bank in 1979. put them away and for got that she had them. She found them in a box when getting Wrapping paper from the attic. Dilemma: both rolls are tails-tails. cracked one and put them all in two x two holders. weird thing there are P,D and S in the same roll. All of them are beautiful. and most of the have full talons. Not sure whether I should crack out the other roll and package the rest

Just had enough time to take a few quick shots. Mrs. Stew and I are making (and eating) some Christmas cookies. Sorry about the flouresent light.

What's the dilemma?

Just shaddup and bust 'em open, already!






(Seriously, I dunno. I would probably open them. But I am the kinda guy who could probably never leave an unsealed Mint Set envelope unsealed. I would HAVE to peek.)

The second roll ought to be just like the first. No?

I have an OBW roll of 79-S SBAs.. What would that one be worth??

Stew

That would be my guess that they would be the same she got them at the same time at the same bank. Not sure what they go for I have never been into the SBA Dollars

Stew

I'm thinking along thee same lines as you LordMarcovan, The curiosity is killing me. Also the 4 79Ps that are in there are wide rimmed

I was a banker in those days and this is how we got our rolls. We had a currency and coin agreement with a larger bank in the area, they would wrap the coins there and deliver them along with currency to us on a weekly basis. This is probably the reason there is a mixture of dates in your rolls. Each week we sent coinage back to the bank and once again the rolls get broken up and counted and rewrapped. This goes on infinitum. I can tell you that we used very few rolls of these and most of the loose ones just sat in the teller's trays.

Full bag SBA.

Thanks for that information Irish Mike I was wondering how the rolls ended up with different mint marks but the same dates in them
