Kind of coin Roll hunting

I found a few old Fed rolls.
$4 dollars a roll
Open em?
The enders are nicely toned.

I would open them. They aren't much good the way they are.

 

That's the way, I have been leaning. There were two other rolls in tubes one was 54's, might have found a couple 54 Hennings.

 

Stunning coins on the ends there. Enjoy, and look out for goodies.

 

I am always on the hunt. If only my pocket book was bigger.

 

First roll is 64D All look UNC.
2 steps visible on the first coin. Think I am going to take these upstairs for a look in better lighting.

 

I’m guessing D mints

 

When I started collecting, the whole country was drowning in 1964 nickels, many of them still like new. Eventually they did wear down. Today, 50-odd years later, opening a roll and finding a bunch of uncirculated 1964's shouldn't be nearly as disappointing.

 

Nothing spectacular so far.

Yeah, it is the thought of finding a full step 64 that still makes em interesting.

 

If you're not sure, compromise, just open one.

 

I did open 1 of them. Haven't looked thru them all yet.

 

Put them on Etsy for $120 each and if they don't sell, then open them. LOL

The temptation would have me peeling back the paper, without hesitation, but that's me.

 

Variety Vista shows 7 RPMs for 1964-D nickel.
Anything MS should have value. I think there's some minor doubled dies?
Arnold Coin Exchange says: The few doubled-dies known for 1964-D are of little interest to anyone but variety specialists.
What's in the other roll?

 

The other roll is 62D unc. I found 2 maybe three of them that might be FS. I just put them to the side, and will check them and take some photos. The majority of the 64's are a later die stage. So no doubled dies. There were a couple interesting MM, I haven't checked anything against VV yet.

 

Here is one of the 64D's. Not much to look at but I liked the tones.


The dark areas around the rim T on the obv. And at 5 oclock reverse are die debris.
Looks like loose compacted grease and metal fragments.

 

I hear their ain’t none

 

I will double check that. Pulling out the red book right now.

 

5 FS 1 in 2000. 6FS unknown.
62D has the same figures.
From the second roll.

 

I've found several DDRs for the dates and a few DDOs. I like finding higher grade specimens as they are more likely to reveal the doubling. Maybe 30 or so DDO, DDR, DDO/DDR specimens. As Jeff noted, during CRH events, finding AU/BU specimens from the 60s was pretty common. I'd find rolls of AU/BU coins mixed in with all the other dates. They were too shiny to pass on, so I sorted them out and searched them for varieties. I am sure I found RPMs for those dates too, but those are in a different storage bin. Finding 60 year-old specimens in this condition still thrills me.

 

PS - the '62s are showing a bit of a clash on the obverse. Fairly well blended, but still there.
