[QUOTE="jeankay, post: 335373, member: 12159"][b]1948d auction discussion[/b] Hmmm... just taking it from my angle... I checked the 2008 Red Book of Coins and 1948d is listed as 3.00 for a MS65. Which, I believe would be about 150.00, IF the coins were all 48d and each one could be graded MS65, which in my experience has not and probably will never happen. So that brings some of the cents down to maybe 10 to 60 cents each in actual value depending on condition. I have always looked at roll searching as being a type of gambling. You either win in a little way or a medium way or a big way. If you paid more than face value for the roll of coins... which many of us find it necessary to do because of lack of banks that order from the mint or its jobbers... then you must take the cost of the shipping in consideration. Seriously? Do I care?... not really if I get a few good coins from one roll then I am happy. I still have what is left over to spend, or roll and turn in so I can buy more coins. Doesn't this all seem like a vicious circle? Yeh, but it is a very fun vicious circle.... jeankay[/QUOTE]
