<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rmpsrpms, post: 2261757, member: 31773&quot;]Whipps...Unopened, unsearched OBW rolls are getting tougher to find. It was common practice in the 60&#039;s through 80&#039;s to open paper rolls and put them in plastic tubes to protect the coins from toning. In fact this roll came to me in a plastic tube, not in its original OBW wrapper, and it carried no premium over bid. In general, if you find a dealer with OBW, they will usually have a mix of tubed, real OBW, and tampered-with OBW. Often they know the difference and price accordingly, but most don&#039;t attach a premium to the OBW for various reasons. As an example, this 1941-D roll was in a big group of rolls I purchased from a major dealer who was cognizant of the extra value of OBW&#039;s. He charged me bid for the tubed rolls, and ask for the OBW. Often dealers will charge 10-20% over ask for OBW. If I find an OBW I really want, and it has all the right characteristics, I&#039;ll gladly pay 2x ask to put it in my collection...unopened.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
