Saw Some Neat Old Original Rolls Today

At the small monthly Melbourne show.....in hindsight I should've snapped a picture.
One of the dealers there that I was unfamiliar with had about 18 rolls of cents and nickels from
the 1930's and early 40's in a nice display. They were paper rolls, stored in plastic tubes. He let me peek at the
ends of a few of them, and they were gorgeous. There were two rolls of 35S cents, and a roll of 38D buffs, as highlights.
He said they came from a fellow from NY who is now in his 90's and put them away back when he was in the banking business.
The fellow had sold off 'the good stuff' to Heritage, and these were part of the leftovers. Apparently this was at least the second
group this dealer had purchased, and indicated there were apparently a lot more forthcoming.

Any help locating any of these OBW rolls would be gratefully appreciated!

The only way to find out would be to buy them and crack them out....he was not going to open them, and was adamant
they had never been opened or searched....from what I could see, the paper wrappers were in nice shape, and the end
coins looked very nice. The prices seemed a little high, at least to me....though I don't know how much room he had on them.
The 38D buff roll was priced at $1,250, so I figured you would have to make a lot gem coins, D/D, etc. to make it worth while.
