First year end roll toner, huge difference between the obv/rev. Not bad for 64 years old!

 

Another OBW roll find, my buddy sent me all his end coins from several hundred rolls. A friend indeed! One mans trash......hehehehe

 

One of the best end rollers of the batch! You can easily see a square around the head and what the paper did to the rest of the coin. Rainbows everywhere! Got lucky and it had a decent reverse too.

 

It’s amazing how proof-like the 1916’s can look. I had to go look up the registry to look up @robec ’s cent, to see that it was not actually a proof.

I got this one a couple of years back for only $16.50 from an eBay seller with notoriously bad photos. I would love to have the matte proof, but I would rather have this business strike than a mediocre proof.

 

I should have mentioned that the 1916 obverse was re-engraved and is the best of the series. Here, for comparison, is a 1958 proof. All the fine detail is worn away, leaving the proof with a liquid-like surface. (Which I also really find attractive.) You can also see this master hub wear on the images @BadThad posted above.

 

Such a great strike on this 1916. Some are still being discovered in circulation, or at least in MS holders.

 

Here is a 64 I came across.
Gosh is it mushy, but it it lustrous and nearly mark free.

 

Getting ready to go thru a bunch of rolls my Bro brought me from Kansas, 8 rolls of reds.

Should be fun.
There are some darker edges that you can see, hoping for some toners.

 

GOOD LUCK! I am quite fortunate to have a friend looking for 67+ red coins from OBW rolls - he doesn't care about the rest of the coins. A couple of months ago he scored some 500+ Lincoln OBW rolls from a dealer looking to purge. He's ripping every roll looking for ultra gem coins to send to PCGS and I'm the primary beneficiary for the toners he finds.

 

The last shipment was primarily 1960's - I'm overloaded with them!

 

I have him looking out for any 55S' that have this florescent green toning. So odd, it's the only issue where this type of toning is so prevalent.

 

A lot of end rollers! Great Christmas colors!

 

Don't forget to look for varieties and errors.

 

Fun!!!!!

 

Yikes

 

You got the best looking cents I’ve seen pictures of by far

 

I like the 60 date. 1960 numbers just look good to me. 1972 also
