2004 Wisconsin-D low leaf roll

I've had this uncirculated 2004 Wisconsin-D roll with a low leaf error showing for several years. I've always wanted to open it but am afraid they'll be just one and I'll have ruined a great numismatic conversation piece........

You're a better man than I...........I'd of torn into it.

 

I would have opened it before it got to room temperature.

 

If it were me, I'd open it. Nothing ventured, nothing gained!

I would not open it. I bet that if you put it on Ebay it would go VERY high.

 

Oh yes, I would open it! The possibilities....!

 

I'd not be able to stand not knowing I would open it.

 

But, what if that end coin turned out to be an MS67 and there were a couple more in the roll?

Chris

 

Exactly. If I had never opened all the rolls and bags of Homestead quarters I picked up I would have missed out on hundreds of errors. Granted, the price of these Homestead's has come down but what a lot of fun I had finding them. This coin on the other hand is still going for some nice money.

 

Being an end coin on this roll, I hope it did not get wrecked by the coin wrapping machine.

 

I'm not a gambling man. I'd leave as is and be happy with what I have.

 

"You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em"...know when to search 'em, know when to sell...

 

I'd open them .

 

What if he opened it and 38 of the coins were 1916 Standing Liberty Quarters all in MS68 between the two end coins?

String and Sons is just a wrapping paper company so anything could be in that roll.

 

What if he opened it and 38 of the coins were plugs from electrical outlets? String and Sons is just a wrapping paper company so anything could be in that roll.

 

I suppose it's technically possible (not the 16 SLQs in 68 part, of course, which is simply ludicrous), but the fact that huge number of solid original rolls were wrapped in NF String paper cannot be ignored. Just from looking at the roll, nothing suggests it is anything other than what the OP says.

With that said, it is fairly common to pull numerous examples of the same variety from such rolls, but certainly not guaranteed. Opening it vs. selling is a gamble as he could probably get solid money for the intact roll, significantly more than the single end coin is worth.

 

I lived in Tucson when all the Wisconsin error quarters were found. Your one roll would get good money on e bay but IMOP I would open the roll because I found 6 Hi leaf and 5 low leaf error quarters in one roll. You will get far more value if you find more errors and get them graded then you will from selling the roll.

 

Anyone have a better photo or website of what he's looking at?
