<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 4011080, member: 26302&quot;]When I see these, I think through the logic. First, they look like old time rolls, but if they are, how does the seller KNOW they are only mercuries in there? I doubt they were packed on exactly 1945. So, if the seller knows FOR SURE they are all mercuries, then they must have been packed specifically to only include mercuries. If someone did that, you don&#039;t think they know, (since it has been known since the 1930&#039;s), that the 16d, 21, 21d are the keys and should be separated, as well as higher grade mm coins?</p><p><br /></p><p>So the logic takes me to common mercuries packed in older paper rolls. Old paper rolls once were common. I bought half a case of them and sold them to a friend in the 1990&#039;s who coin roll hunted to pack his coins back up for banks. The rolls I sold him were way older than these and I sold him half a case for like $5. </p><p><br /></p><p>Given this, to me it seems the same likelihood of good coins from about any source. I used to have my best luck in old dealer stock. In the 80&#039;s, there were only a few dates most dealers looked at for these, and other things like XF early MM coins could slide through. I think I got a XF-AU 1918 D or similar in an old dealer stock like this. I have no idea its value, just remembered its a little better coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
