I bought this roll a few months back because I thought I needed a '79 S for my graded set even though I swear I had one. Figured I could surely find one in this roll. Turns out, I did have a 67 but it was in my Ike box. Why? Sigh...hard to say. I did go ahead and take a peek at these on the off chance there was a 68 but let's be real - the graders at PCGS are drunk half the time and/or I absolutely suck (or, of course, I'm drunk AND suck when I send them in) and, after 40 years of collecting, it's clear I'm not coming close to what I think a grade of a coin is most of the time. I'm right maybe 1 out of 10 times, off by a grade 8 out of 10 and off by two grades another 1 out of 10 (dang good thing they send me a calendar every year, huh?). These are all absolutely beautiful coins with cartwheels and luster to no end but 68s they are not. 65s all day and 66s likely for a good portion of them but beyond that? I'll just say they're all clearly either out of mint sets or someone was in SF and managed to pick up a roll of nothing but SF's on that day in 1979 when they were made available. No, this isn't an OGM roll (those were , not ) but it's worn enough to have clearly been around the block a few times (IE it's old). No one except myself is dumb enough to (accidentally?) send in a coin and pay for a valued coin but you could definitely sell these for at least a dollar or more and make some money on each. They really are beautiful coins given the S coins were REALLY difficult to find in high grade/top-pop coins. Oh, they could make a proof but their uncirculated talents were sorely lacking (though slightly behind Philly and their sucktastic skills at making high grade coins...though not by much).I did take all coins out at one point in the past to take a gander at them but it took me a LONG time to get them back into this old, archaic roll and I'm not masochistic enough to do it again. However, if you want some pics as a sampling and don't trust my word, ask and ye shall receive. For the asking price you could easily package these up as singles and sell them for a decent profit. These have been in my "to sell" box for a while now and it's time to start getting through these.
Let me know if you have any questions.
