Jefferson roll ready to be revealed...

joeykoins · June 23, 2020 1:00PM

Picked up today at my B + M shop. 1963p, hoping I pick not only a beauty in color, condition and/or full steps but the DD variety? I'll keep you up to date on any findings, thanks. Pics coming...

TomB · June 23, 2020 1:09PM

I wouldn't imagine you will find much in terms of toning. Perhaps some pastel color or an improper alloy mix. Good luck!

abcde12345 · June 23, 2020 1:14PM

The wrapper is likely to be the coolest item out of the roll. Please, gingerly open it so as to replace the coins afterward. Not so much as to claim an original roll yet rather the provenance remains for display purposes.

joeykoins · June 23, 2020 1:24PM

End roll slight tone or a pastel tone?

ifthevamzarockin · June 23, 2020 1:34PM

The suspense is killin' us and I'm sure it's killin' you too.

Go ahead and dump them out in your cup holder and let's get a good look at em'.

abcde12345 · June 23, 2020 1:46PM

Excellent photography!

joeykoins · June 23, 2020 1:49PM

I looked at a few, nothing yet worth showing. Besides the BU aspect. Lol

johnny9434 · June 23, 2020 2:11PM

Waiting to open an old roll is the best part

JBK · June 23, 2020 2:41PM

That end coin might have an error - it has 0 steps.

Jimnight · June 23, 2020 3:07PM

I can't wait. Good luck!!

SanctionII · June 23, 2020 3:07PM

It is very interesting to see posts like this, where there is much excitement over a roll of cents or nickels from the 1960's.

Especially when I remember as a YN being able to obtain unlimited numbers of these rolls from the bank at face value because they were newly minted coins with no premium at all.

"Anticipation "

Mdcoincollector2003 · June 23, 2020 4:56PM

What type of car is that? Very unusual gear shifter, never seen a button in the middle for “S”

joeykoins · June 23, 2020 4:58PM

My new Ford Fusion. I know, it took quite some time for me to get use to it. Lol
That 'S' stands for the Mint mark.

Coinscratch · June 23, 2020 6:21PM

Whoever coined the phrase? "Yeah he's worth a few nickels".

BLUEJAYWAY · June 23, 2020 10:01PM

Possible "Bar" errors. Die breaks between the rim and date/letters.

joeykoins · June 24, 2020 12:38AM

Sorry guy's for the delay in pics, had to head off to work. Later today I'll shoot some photo's. I did notice one coin with a possible 5 Steps? Thanks.

keets · June 24, 2020 3:09AM

it's hard to swallow but the best you'll find will be an MS65 non-FS, and that's questionable.

Onastone · June 24, 2020 3:34AM

Just don't spill that Starbucks Latte all over your roll.

ricko · June 24, 2020 5:44AM

Roll searching can be fun....and there is always the hope (rarely encountered) of finding a treasure. However, that is why people use metal detectors, pan for gold, and search for fabled buried treasure. The rewards are out there...If it was easy, we would all be telling stories.....Cheers, RickO

TwoSides2aCoin · June 24, 2020 5:50AM

No full steps .... I'm guessing. But am hoping you find At least a dozen to feed the hobbyists craving them.

joeykoins · June 24, 2020 9:13AM

Good morning guy's! Yes, I will again continue to search through very soon. Just woke up, night shift. Lol. I'm thinking I'll head back to my shop and pick up a couple more rolls of Jefferson's. I do recall her having a roll of '49 and '58's?

Hydrant · June 24, 2020 9:44AM

Hope you find some good ones!

crazyhounddog · June 24, 2020 10:00AM

Good luck there buddy😊

joeykoins · June 24, 2020 10:24AM

Here is one that might be a FS? Whatcha guy's think?

oih82w8 · June 24, 2020 10:54AM

To me, Full Step Jefferson's are just that, no cuts or blemishes that go across them. Our host has what appears to be fairly distinctive criteria;

"Full Steps (FS) is the designation following the numerical grade of some regular-strike MS60 or higher Jefferson nickels that have at least five separated steps (lines) at the base of Monticello. Any major disturbance or interruption of these steps or lines, whether caused by contact, planchet problems, or another source, will result in the coin's not being designated FS. Only the slightest weakness on any step (line) is allowed for this designation. Some issues are almost never seen with Full Steps and may command a significant premium."

So, that first step disallows being a FS huh? Lol thanks for the great info.

erwindoc · June 24, 2020 12:59PM

Looks to me like the cut eliminates it over the "E" in Monticello. It crosses two steps. Still nice nickel!

joeykoins · June 24, 2020 2:37PM

Ok, I went through the roll. From what I checked, nothing, besides two things. The BU factor and I must find out what one poster mentioned about " bar line errors". Dont really know about those. Have to recheck maybe? But for now, guess what I bought? Yep! I'll try these. Lol

johnny9434 · June 24, 2020 4:28PM

I like the old type wrappers like that one

Bar errors? Can you elaborate a little? Thanks

Yes. In the 60's the Jeff. Nick. had minor die breaks usually between the letters of Liberty/date to the rim. These resembled a bar like clog of metal between these features and the rim. Hence the notation label "Bar" nickels. They are not a high value error, but they were somewhat popular in the 60's/70's. Back then they were somewhat easy to obtain out of circ. I had pulled quite a few back then. If I had photo posting skills I would of displayed an example. Maybe someone here could post a pix of one. Hope this helps.

joeykoins · June 24, 2020 6:08PM

Thanks for explaining more.

joeykoins · June 25, 2020 1:39PM

Here comes the 1958 roll. The end roll coin;

joeykoins · June 25, 2020 1:47PM

Early on, toned?

joeykoins · June 25, 2020 1:58PM

At least these have some tone. Not like the '63 roll.

joeykoins · June 26, 2020 12:11AM

Close but no cigar, huh?

joeykoins · July 9, 2020 2:08PM

Ready to reveal! The 1964p roll. Stay tuned.

Here's a sneak peek!

Close to what? I think I see one step.

Either way, no cigar.

PipestonePete · July 9, 2020 3:15PM

Are those coins double-wrapped? The photos make it look like the paper roll is lined with wax paper or something.

Yes, very observant! It seems to be? Do you know why? I was wondering this myself from the previous rolls I opened as well.

JBK · July 9, 2020 4:14PM

Something a collector did, I guess. Maybe to keep the coins from toning from the roll paper? Not sure if the wax paper is worse or better for that purpose.

Put together roll by a collector. Put the wax paper in for moisture. Be careful on price. They are NOT original rolls.

Thanks for the head's up. Only paid $4.

joeykoins · July 9, 2020 5:46PM

I'm hoping for just one FS.

JBK · July 9, 2020 6:05PM

I believe there was a time when FS were not such a thing, so if you are lucky these predate the search for FS.

However, I think FS are very tough from this era.

joeykoins · July 9, 2020 6:40PM

That's why PCGS has a 65FS for $200!
I'm guessing 90% of my roll is very attainable at a 65. Finding the Full Steps is the hard part.

COCollector · July 9, 2020 8:19PM

Now I'm tempted to open my roll.

joeykoins · July 9, 2020 8:47PM

If you do decide to crack open, can you let me know if you have some kind of extra wrapping inside? Mine has some wax paper inside the roll. Thanks and Good luck!

Hydrant · July 9, 2020 10:28PM

This is exciting!

joeykoins · July 9, 2020 10:48PM

Today, along with this '64p roll, I picked up two 2011d Jeffersons. Not rolls but individual ones. Both has FS's. I seen the PCGS price guide for them. Even though these are not that old. They have fairly high premiums for any FS MS 67's. I'll post some other time. I'm also going by some auctions as well.

Jefferson roll ready to be revealed...
