<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Owle, post: 1385777, member: 22004&quot;]I was at a shop recently where the dealer was offering me a nice BU roll of 1925 Lincoln cents.&nbsp; They looked to be spot free and MS64 or above average.</p><p><br /></p><p>Problem here is that he wants $1200 cash.&nbsp; He said a dealer out West offered him $1700 for the roll if he would ship, and understandably, he doesn&#039;t want to do so.&nbsp; What is the upside on this vs. the downside?</p><p><br /></p><p>I checked out HA&#039;s auction records on 65s.&nbsp; They were around $80 per gem, red.</p><p><br /></p><p>So you get 50 coins.&nbsp; Let&#039;s say you get them graded, the high end ones.&nbsp; A few actually grade over MS65 red.&nbsp; That should be a win, right?&nbsp; Or you buy and hold and look for the roll buyer at Baltimore who will pay the most.</p><p><br /></p><p>Another consideration:&nbsp;&nbsp; Taking coins out of rolls to examine them; what is the liklihood of them getting marks that will lessen their grades?&nbsp; Thanks.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
