BU dime roll question - roseys and mercs

Bigbuck1975 · November 5, 2015 3:21AM

I picked up a few rolls a 1955d,p Roosevelts and a roll of 1936p Mercury dimes. It looks like the rolls of roseys go for $80-$100. Any resources out there for value of 1930's BU rolls of mercs?

Not that I know of but the first thing I would do is closely examine those Mercs to insure they're not cleaned sliders. If all are truly BU then you've got a valuable roll. I'd say 3X melt on a wag.

Four sure BU not cleaned coins

Neat to find a complete roll of uncs.

ORIGINAL merc rolls can be spectacular... I know of a roll of 45-D's where 23 coins went MS67FB!

There are several completed listings on eBay in the $400 to $500 range on dates from 1939 to 1945. Don't know if 1936 would bring much more but you're certainly looking at $400 net I would think.

Wouldn't mind seeing a sample picture of the Merc roll, if it is in hand and openable.

Not so much for grading or price determination, which I couldn't help much with, but just to admire them.

Neat find.

I bought a roll of BU 1939-Ps in 2011 from a Forum member for $425.00 but it was in a plastic tube, not an original roll. I probably overpaid. Without checking I can't tell you the quality of the coins, but as I remember they were average BU. An original roll could be interesting.

Here is a sample

Same here in a tube since likely the 60's

They look nice.

Looks like they are on a napkin from Subway. Wrap the coins in that and store them in a hot humid part of your house. Wait 6 months and check for doneness.

Do you guys think it would be worth grabbing the best 10 or so and submitting for grading?

Only if the 10 best are FSB.

Bigbuck1975 · November 6, 2015 1:36PM

Picked 10 like this, thoughts?
