    And this is one of the nicer ones I found, comments welcome. Am I on the right track? 822A5886-F1CA-4B7D-8889-EDC2DD153EF4.jpeg 14E0B286-8452-4CBA-B0E7-5701592505C9.jpeg

    Most OBW rolls have been improperly stored at some point. I know exactly what you're describing. Also, there are many fakes in the market made-up of primarily MS-63 and below rejects.

    You're going to have fun with that roll set! Not only is it fun constantly upgrading coins, your primary collection will also benefit. :)

    Hell yes! That's what I'm talking about finding! VERY NICE EXAMPLE!

    Had to go check mine, I think you win! Your strike is better, I'd like to see better pictures of yours. Mine has mirror surfaces:

    I don’t have much of a set up for coin photos yet, using my iphone at the kitchen counter, lots of maneuvering to get decent light. Maybe Santa will bring me a copy stand and a camera :)

    I really like this one, I’m not sure I’m great at picking out a great strike from
    an average one, but I feel like I can pick out the ones with clean fields.

    I’ll try posting a couple of my other ones soon.
