1939 Jefferson OBW Roll on ebay........Updated with pics

SUMORADA · December 12, 2011 7:31AM

I won this roll the other day....it's on it's way, I don't know why I bought it, I just had a gut feeling or too many beers, sure does not look as old as it should....

So what do you think..how is this gonna play out.....good, bad, maybe...I got lucky.

All opinions welcome....let-r-rip.

Then when it gets here I'll open it live. (yeah I know I'm a copy-cat doing the live thing but it sounds like fun...)

Great year to choose, possible DDR or rev of 40s could make this roll worth a lot more. We will see when it comes

DRUNNER · December 12, 2011 7:42AM

Let us know how this turns out! I think this would be a fun roll to have. Presuming all is OK with the roll itself and it is original . . .but I think this would be fun!

good luck and i hope you get some gems in there.

morgansforever · December 12, 2011 8:27AM

Good luck with it, hopefully it's stuffed with gemmy DDR's and FS to boot.

There's probably a reason only one end is pictured. I think you will be disappointed, but good luck.

rock it and then sell me a few singles

Spkrmakr · December 12, 2011 9:27AM

I wish you the best. Looks like it was rolled this morning. Who knows.....

When these rolls hit they hit big! In my experience you will only get 2-3 or less die pairings. In 1939 you had the DDR (022) and QDR (22.5) along with other minor DDR's and DDO's the the R40 and FS coins possible. When I cracked the 1949-D OBW I pulled 2 die pairs, 22 or a nice EDS combo and 18 EDS 1949 D/S coins in 64,65 and 66's! I would have snatched it if I had seen it. With gray sheet bid at $125 for a picked apart, put together roll how will you go wrong? I would expect $5-$8 for nicer, rare BU coins.

Not sure why some think they only show one end, that is a heads/heads roll and looks very, very nice to me!

Cool. Most of the OBW rolls I've seen have blue paper, but this one looks good and fresh!!!

GoldClause · December 12, 2011 12:38PM

Good luck, I hope it works out.

When you get it please becareful opening it I would be interested in the old bank wrapper if it isnt too badly mangled after opening.

rec78 · December 12, 2011 2:17PM

Head to head roll? Could be D's on the reverse.

I love stuff like this. They are fastly becoming few and far between however. Well worth the gamble.

The wrapper looks too new, and was probably rerolled. Alternatively, I would not be surprised if it turned out to be full of circulated pieces. I wish you luck nevertheless.

I don't know anything about the roll but just wanted to mention the two pictures of the end coin are the same coin taken at different angles. The other end isn't shown.

Oh, that is true and certainly a flag. I hope it's OK.....

Just a question.................if the description says it hasn't been opened and heads are showing at both ends, how does the seller know it's a roll of P mints ? could they be D mints ?

SUMORADA · December 15, 2011 12:20AM

The roll arrived this morning, looks like the real deal...........I'm going to open it this afternoon, more pics to come.

seanq · December 15, 2011 12:27AM

Knowing your luck, I'm going to put the over/under on doubled die reverses in that roll at 6-1/2 and bet the over.

thebeav · December 15, 2011 1:14AM

Looks great !

Good luck with it !

SUMORADA · December 15, 2011 1:31AM

Here are the first couple of coins from the end of the roll.........

I once had buyers remorse after winning a roll of 1954_S Jeffs that I came to realize had been opened on one end.

But to my great surprise, the roll had apparently only been searched for steps. It had 16 (count 'em!) S/D overmintmarks.

you cant argue with that georgiacop and im glad ya made out real good on it

jedm · December 15, 2011 2:45AM

This one is very interesting. Yeah how does the seller know they are "P" mints? And why only take a picture of the same end of the roll twice. It is clearly the same coin but the roll has been manipulated a bit. I hope you strike it big!

Diggin4silver · December 15, 2011 8:52AM

I love the steps on fire!

pontiacinf · December 15, 2011 9:06AM

I still find myself in that buying range

stephunter · December 15, 2011 9:08AM

Got some that are close to full steps. Any reverse of 38's?

Type2 · December 15, 2011 10:52AM

Very Nice Now you can go back and pull all the one with out the tails on the "S" TRUST you'll see it.

I saw 5 or 6 on your pic.
