Toss a Bid at this?

I thought it was interesting and it looks real. Even if they aren't "s" mints the two end coins sell for $22 a pop judging by their condition. What do you guys think?

Just curious....how does he know they're 1909's and if he's opened the roll to check, how does he not know if there is a 1909 S VDB in it?

 

Thats the thing, there's no way of knowing since its a bank wrapped roll. In the description it says that theres a possibility of an "S" mint but can't promise it. He at least knows its a 1909 because that was the only year that it had the initials V.D.B on the back.

 

If you feel froggy, leap!

 

Ah yeah, I knew that... My skepticism jumped ahead of my memory. Thanks for pointing that out, gmaster.

 

No return accepted, so it's a gamble.. BID or not to BIDS.:hail::rollling::thumb:

 

I wouldn't risk it. There is no way to know that this roll is anything. Rolls can easily be wrapped like that outside of a bank. I'll bet there is nothing nice between those 2 (P) VDBs.

 

It's a sucker's game. Don't fall for it.

The roll does not look early 20th Century, there was no Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco until 1913 and he sold another one a couple weeks ago.
