I know for a fact that there are some still available. My dad put away several rolls in 1963 when he was working at the bank in Emmons, Minnesota and has kept them in the safe deposit box ever since. One of my earliest coin collecting memories is of when he showed them to me and I specifically remember that they had Federal Reserve wrappers. Because of this it would be important to me to have the wrapper if I was buying them.

 

I doubt they are really that rare so why wouldn't people sell them on EBay?

 

I'm surprised. I've returned 4 items out of 400. 2 gave me refunds but 2 refused. I had to have eBay intervien and they were prompt and helpful. One guy refused to refund my money after selling me a snad and eBay simply took the money from him and refunded me. The other complied with eBay.

 

If I pay my taxes on time and my town does not repair the destroyed bridge we have does that mean maybe I can sell it? LOL. After all, I am a part owner...

 

The only thing i can think of is apmex has a lot of pull. I cant imagine why this case is on hold til the 9th.

 

Easter Vacation..........

 

Wise guy huh?

 

You're a good sport BK........

 

A stamp, fed or otherwise, is not an automatic indicator of originality or authenticity.

 

OK, I probably should have said that they are more likely to be original versus definitely original. Nonetheless if I received a roll like the one in the picture I would be satisfied enough not to open a SNAD case. Originality can't be proven 100% but unoriginality certainly can.

 

Does it have pot holes?

 

And just another reason I no longer have my store on e bay.
They screw their sellers, over charge, have a monopoly on payments and other services .
But the real kicker was what they did to about 5000,000 people . People whom used e bay to make a few extra bucks.
E bay policy of if you did not link your bank account and SS# etc. And you sold something you would not be paid up to 90 days after the sale,even though you got positive feed back.
I had done all these things and e bay was still not happy, oh we want you to ship world wide. We want you to ship free. We want you to eat it when a buyer scams you, and we want you to pay listing fees, as well as finial value fee's we want you to only use Pay Pal, and we want you to sell $5000.00 @ month, the list goes on and on.... we want ..we want.....but you don't get squat!
Oh and then you can't leave feed back.... you're at the mercy of a scam artist and can't represent your side of the transaction . Yes e bay is a joke....

 

What does snad mean? Thanks

 

Significantly Not as Described

 

To be fair, I think Comcast has eBay beat by a long shot for that title...

Just open a SNAD case/inquiry...

 

People you should know by now you can't trust those "item specifics" and "detailed Item info" boxes. They are VERY frequently wrong. I suspect they are automatically filled in by a Bot in ebay's system. You put in one item of the description and it plugs in a bunch of boilerplate. (A lot of people use them rather than actually describing what they are selling. When you are buying on ebay look for actual seller written descriptions and ignore those boxes.)

The picture does not look like an original bank wrapped roll either. Looks opened and rerolled.

Also the Federal Reserve Bank wrapper does NOT guarantee the roll actually came from the Fed. They would supply those wrappers to the member banks as well. Treat them as a generic wrapped.

 

Can't really say I have any major problems with eBay. They're not perfect, but then again it's impossible to please everyone. Of course my opinion could change the first time they screw me lol

As of now my biggest complaint with eBay is not having the ability to leave negative feedback when a buyer doesn't pay. They get a non-payment strike (supposedly), but that really leaves me as a seller very unsatisfied. Other than that I think eBay is good overall.

 

I don't normally browse the "roll" category on Ebay but decided to have a closer look after participating on this thread. After what I just saw I realize that I probably spoke to soon about "Fed" rolls being definitely original. For example, there were several rolls of circulated coins with bank wrappers that were obviously quite old and looked totally original. However, the fact that they were advertised as containing specific types such as Mercury dimes made me suspicious. Unless that roll was date stamped prior to 1946 (which it wasn't) how does anyone know that it contains only Mercury's unless it had already been searched?

So once again I have learned something by participating on this forum. From now on the only rolls I will assume to be original are the ones my dad put away in '63.

 

Why did you not accept APMEX's return offer privately? Seems they were trying to help and you flat out refused for reasons I cannot fathom.
