<p>[QUOTE=&quot;stldanceartist, post: 2685045, member: 13307&quot;]Just picked up an original bank roll of 1967 Canadian Dimes.&nbsp; Very tightly rolled paper (meaning I think it&#039;s not been opened since it was rolled.)&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Text on the paper reads:</p><p><br /></p><p><b>$5 DIMES</b></p><p><b>Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce</b></p><p><b>389 Main St. </b></p><p><b>Winnipeg, Manitoba</b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p>The two ends that are showing...don&#039;t look great.&nbsp; Like they&#039;ve been on the end for a bit, and the coins have suffered as a result.&nbsp; However, they are typically toned for this date (all these 1967 Canadian silver coins have tended to tone up a storm, from what I&#039;ve seen.)&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]601011[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]601009[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]601010[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>The collector in me wants to open this bad boy up and see what treasures can be found inside.</p><p><br /></p><blockquote><p>Worst case scenario, I open it up and it&#039;s all ugly 1967 dimes that I can sell for about what I paid.</p><p>Best case scenario, I open it up and there are some spectacular high grade toners inside waiting to be found.&nbsp; Or some older coins...</p></blockquote><p><br /></p><p>The dealer in me wonders if the roll will bring a significant premium in its original unopened state, enough to warrant leaving it as is.</p><p><br /></p><blockquote><p>Worst case scenario, someone else opens it up and finds some high grade toners and/or older coins.&nbsp; Or someone opens it up and it&#039;s a bunch of junk and they blame me for that.</p><p>Best case scenario, it&#039;s worth a significant premium to another collector and I make a few buck, but I don&#039;t get to look inside.</p><p><br /></p></blockquote><p><br /></p><p>The way I see it, I should open it up, right?&nbsp; RIGHT???</p><p><br /></p><p>What do you guys think?&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, that <i>is</i> a 1925 nickel (key date) there holding the roll in place.&nbsp; Just picked it up today.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
