I am embarking on a mini-project...sorting through the many 1955-S BU rolls I have picked up over the last couple years. I won't be opening any OBW, only tubed rolls, and they can be quite a hodgepodge. I've already found one very nice original roll, but also several made-up rolls. Interestingly, one of the made-up rolls had two 55-S RPM#1, the first #1's I've found in a long time. I usually keep nice original rolls together, unless they have a bunch of varieties in them, but will be breaking up all the others and pulling out varieties and VEDS coins then sorting by quality level. When I'm done (will take a while, I have about 60 rolls to go through) I'll publish the stats...Ray

I was anticipating a pic as usual but the find sounds really great. Good luck with the other rolls.

Nice find, I find those but among circs. Never pulled one from an unc roll even after searching a lot of them.Comment

Did you find those in the roll you already had or just bought an original roll to look at.Comment

I'm celebrating finishing the major construction on the inside of the house by going through some older rolls. I have a box of 50 rolls of 55-S, plus about 10 extras that have been waiting a LONG time for me to search them. They were purchased over the last couple years. I love going through groups of rolls of a single year/mint since it makes it easier to pick out the varieties (fewer to look for) and to see the quality differences between the rolls.
I just finished an interesting made-up roll. It had about half the coins of the "Slash-S" variety, a quarter BIE, and the rest a mix of various varieties and non-varieties. The tape on the roll was very old and intact, so it probably has been sealed for at least 10 years. Always interesting to go through these, you never know what you will find...RayLast edited by ray_parkhurst; 05-20-2013, 05:37 PM.Builder of Custom Coin Photography Setups.

1955-S RPM#1 I've only found a couple over the years and both were singles in a roll. Nice to find two, It's your lucky day!Comment

The triple MM's are one of the few MM varieties I really like. GOOD LUCK!VERDI-CARE™ ALL METAL CONSERVATION FLUIDComment

Thanks BT...you broke my dry spell! I found the 2 RPM#1 in the 2nd or 3rd roll I looked through, then nothing for 40 rolls. I was starting to think I was not going to find any more, then I read your post and picked a couple more rolls to search...and voila! My best find so far...5 pieces in one roll!! And the roll was a very unusual one, with nice purple highlight toning, a very rare coloration in original rolls. Also found a few RPM#5 in that roll, and put away a bunch of very nice gems.
I am still in searching mode, so still no pics, but soon...I have 16 more rolls to go out of almost 60.
I also found a few VEDS examples that show a VERY light curve that looks like chatter from the punch. Something else to take pics of and see if it could be something of interest...RayBuilder of Custom Coin Photography Setups. PM me with your needs or visit http://macrocoins.comComment

I've been putting the roll ends aside. Even though these rolls are no longer OBW, many of them used to be OBW and the original end coins are often still in the rolls. There are also quite a few really nice toners (a couple rolls were particularly pretty) so no shortage of coins to choose from.Builder of Custom Coin Photography Setups.
