What do you do? 2

Here's another what do you do thread. Came up with this one too. Say you come across an OBW roll from 1909, and both sides just show the reverse and the VDB. What do you do this time? A. Open it up hoping it to maybe be a BU roll of 1909 S VDBs, B. Sell it as a shotgun roll, C. Don't do anything
Might be interesting discussion on this one too. Sorry, just in a poll type of mood for some reason.

No fun to collect things if you don't know what you have

 

Gotta open it! Otherwise, the suspense and potential for a windfall would be too much to handle!

This is my answer to every future thread about opening rolls. OPEN.

I'd definitely open that one, no question.

 

Open 'er up!

 

There are a few of you who have received from me a 1953 Uncirc Rosie Dime...
These dimes came from an original bank roll I bought years ago...it took me a long time to open it and when I did, I discoverd that 95% of the coins inside had a "Filled S" MM.

When I sent some of these out as prizes it was only picked up by one person...

If you received one of these dimes then by all means check it out...

But I say open the rolls...you never know what you may find...

I'd be all over it like a pack of dogs on a three-legged cat!

 

Well,

From the last poll I've already garnered a roll of 55 double dies so I'd just spend these as a roll. ....or maybe I'd open it.

 

Open it, take out the 48 middle coins, reroll it with junkers and sell it as a mystery roll on ebay.

LOL, just kidding.....Open it of course, even if it is just regular VDB's, there is likely to be a bunch of gem's in there

 

See my answer to your other poll.
This one is the same, only more so.

I'd be willing to risk losing the value of an unopened roll for the small chance there might be an S-VDB or even a whole roll of them.

If it was truly an OBW roll, there is some plausibility that the entire roll could be S-VDB. That would be far less likely for the 55 DDO where the error coins were mixed in with normal coins.

 

again:
OPEN IT!
I can't stand the suspense.

Besides, I don't believe that there are unopened OBW rolls from 1909.

 

Sometimes people find that they have paid hundreds of dollars for an old bottle of vinegar that they thought was wine! That's like finding nothing of interest upon opening an old roll.

Just think of the profit that vinegar would have brought if you just sold the dusty old bottle as is!

 

How could you not open it knowing the potential inside? What's the fun of collection coins if you're not going to look at them? Not looking might be considered investing not collecting.

That kind of roll would sell for a LOT of money. I guess I would find a buyer who wanted to open them, make some kind of arrangement that if they were filled with 1909-S VDB's, that I get one either free or for a fixed price. I know I'm strattling the fence here, but I think that you could sell such a roll for a LOT. Deal or No Deal!!!

 

The odds of getting an 09 S are much greater than getting a 55 DDO. And I already opened that one (likely to find it was full of chucky cheese tokens, with my luck!)

 

open it up - rolls are for banks, not collectors

-stuffed with turkey Steve

 

I would open it, of course.

I'm guessing that if a roll has enough info to ID it as 1909, it would probably say where it is from. I bet it would say SAN FRANCISCO or PHILADELPHIA.

But perhaps not.

 

i'd DEFINATLY open it and hope for a S!
