<p>[QUOTE="BlackHorse1968, post: 7752908, member: 121638"]I'm in NJ, so I am sure that shipping to Canada is killer. I have no idea what these bags are worth. I have opened a few to sample the coins. I take a 200 coin random sample from different parts of the bag. 10% is a nice sample size. So far 1959 (which was already opened) has: 1 tube of rejects (poorly toned, spotted, fingerprinted, scratched or otherwise poor examples, yet technically, MS-60 business strikes) slightly more than 1 tube of BU, 1 tube of Select/Choice and slightly less than one 1 tube of Gem. Who knows what the other bags will produce. This one was opened and I have no clue as to when. Dad wouldn't have touched them with his bare hands and I'm sure Mom wouldn't either for the same reasons that I won't - Dad. I'm sure the guys at the Mint didn't care so I probably have 62 year old fingerprints. I will probably be opening one bag from each year to roll and will sell the rest unopened. I just hate selling things sight unseen.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
