To open or not to open is the question

mkman123 · February 8, 2011 10:06AM

Got this from someone locally.

Should I open the rolls? The top one is 1969s, the bottom one is 1959 and there is writing stating 48 coins so I'm thinking a few fell out. The 1969s roll, the seller stated he used to have a box of them but now this is the last roll.

What sayeth you guys?

keyman64 · February 8, 2011 10:07AM

Open!

DRUNNER · February 8, 2011 10:12AM

Oh . .heck..

OPEN !!!! What is the reason for NOT doing it?

I hope you have 4 Doubled Dies. An MS68, 2 MS67s, and a spotted MS64.

Milk them out to the market carefully to maximize the profit. I think you'll make $206,000 if you do it right.

Go for it!!!

Drunner, If I find that many, I would get you a free doily LOL

Whats good in the 1959D roll?

tightbudget · February 8, 2011 10:18AM

Those are not original rolls from the era. Might as well open them.

Southcounty · February 8, 2011 10:21AM

Heck the one roll even says it has MS70 coins inside so you better pull those ones out!

magikbilly · February 8, 2011 10:25AM

THOSE are vintage rolls? Open. Whats to lose. If original - how did they get "graded"? I dunno. I'm tired.

I'll prob open up the 1959 and see what they look like. The 1969s.......I'd like to keep it the way it is and just think that there could be a DDO in there lol

COALPORTER · February 8, 2011 10:40AM

Open now. I want to see the MS70 !!

There is a decent RPM that could be in it.

59-d RPM-1 on Coppercoins

RRich2004 · February 8, 2011 10:46AM

These are just common bank rolls. Gahead and open them and do a roll search. You never know what might be in there.

JamesMurray · February 8, 2011 10:49AM

I'd open them too and hope for the best , as pointed out they are not original rolls and the ink seems a little fresh.

MsMorrisine · February 8, 2011 10:51AM

the ink looks newer than the paper.

open

AUandAG · February 8, 2011 10:52AM

Have you ever heard of a 59 with a 58 reverse? Hmmmmmm

bob

Oh, open them NOW!

DRUNNER · February 8, 2011 11:06AM

Uh . . . . .

If there is an offer of a Doily, I will fly there myself and open them at your request . .

aren't those just fantasy coins?

Frankiefanatic · February 8, 2011 11:35AM

put them on ebay,after you have properly placed them in a light emitting window to pull the colors down to a gentle fading away look- and while the black ink is freshly done on the one roll, you can easily make it look old with a bit of water wash and a dry clth to blot the water away

the appearance might fool a few fools

better yet- just open them up take a 13 second review of all of em and spend them like they should have been spent the first time!

RichieURich · February 8, 2011 11:35AM

OPEN them, both rolls. What happens if you accidentally take the roll to the bank and cash it in, then someone from your town finds a 1969-S DDO in a roll from the bank?

Might as well find out what is in them. Eventually someone will open the roll to find out, might as well be you.

lkeigwin · February 8, 2011 11:43AM

Aren't they recently assembled rolls? Nothing special about keeping them intact. Open them. Maybe you'll get lucky.

mkman123 · February 8, 2011 12:20PM

thanks all, I will go ahead and open them up and report back what I find.

JupitarCoins · February 8, 2011 1:39PM

I would open them and hopefully you'll find a double die 69s.
Btw how much did they cost you if you dont mind me asking?

I'd open the 59 and keep the 69 intact. Not sure why folks are saying the 69 is not original, it very well could be. Chances of finding the DDO are slim, but non-zero. I'd just put the 69 away if you have room to store it. I have a few similar ones myself sitting in the safe and they have a lot more value as "potential" than they probably do in reality. Maybe I'll open them up someday...

I had 2 rolls of 69-S cents I had had since 1969. I took them out of the paper rolls and put them into plastic tubes in 1969. A couple of years ago I opened the 69-S cents to see what I could see. I did find an 69-S with the profile doubled, part of the date doubled but no doubling on Libery. I was excited for a brief moment. Oh well, it was fun looking.

jupitarcoins I paid $3 for each of the rolls.

The guy who sold them to me is a big fan of the coppercoins site and had many pennies that he cherrypicked from rolls with the help of that site. He offered me rpms, bies, etc but I don't know those things very well and passed. Person mentioned that he had a box of 1969s rolls a while back but sold them to someone who bought the entire box......he does not know if the person who bought the box found anything. This was the lone roll he had left.

golfer72 · February 8, 2011 8:00PM

He probably removed the two MS-70 coins from the 48 coin roll!

ricko · February 8, 2011 9:07PM

Open them ... they have already been searched, all you can do is look for what may have been missed. Cheers, RickO

<< <i>Open them ... they have already been searched, all you can do is look for what may have been missed. Cheers, RickO >>

Why does everyone think the 69-S roll has been searched? We can't see the ends, but in general those Batdorf "V" rolls are pretty tightly machine-wrapped and most that I've looked through are original.

To open or not to open is the question
