<p>[QUOTE="harley bissell, post: 2892311, member: 88212"]I did an experiment and went partners on a rare end date roll with a friend. That roll had a 1909-s on one end and a VDB on the other end. We paid $99 after shipping. Contents were a 1909-s; a 1909 - vdb and 48 coins from the forties and fifties. I am convinced that these rolls are all created using old wrappers and an old rolling machine. I don't recall anyone keeping rolls with rare dates on the end in the fifties which is when it would have been possible to get access to them. I personally was</p><p>buying rolls to fill my Whitman folder and kept high grades and mint marked coins from the teens and the occasional rare coin. I could only occasionally buy nickel rolls. silver dollars were available for a dollar over the counter but only adults could spare a buck to buy them. Silver coins I could only afford to keep one of each for my folder and if I kept a half dollar that was a budgeted item. All coins came from circulation to avoid paying dealer prices. Later I sold some of my finds to buy what I couldn't find. Folks could do the same thing now if they were patient.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
