25 year old untouched collection

[JonMN34]

Interesting collection came into the local coin shop today.
$265 face of LMC from 1959 - approx 1982, including a unopened 1975 $50 Brinks bag and all appear to be in Mint State.

The cool thing was they only wanted $10 over face for the hassle...

I feel like a kid in a candy store

I don't know where to start!

Way too Cool Jon... Congrats! Hard to go wrong at that price.

Send some to me. Ill find where to start!!!!....lololol

[mustbebob]

Start at the beginning! It's always helped me

Please keep us informed of what you find.....OK??

[JonMN34]

So from a preliminary look I've got 2 1/2 bags of rolls, 2 1/2 bags of loose and the 1 $50 1975 Brinks bag (rolls).

I'll post the inventory of rolls as soon as I clear my desk, but a quick look turned up some rolls that could be fun. I saw a 72P, several 60D's, a roll of wheaties (), some 64's and lots of D mint rolls, just to name a few.

Way to excited...

Hey Jon,
I think maybe it is a bit much to ask you to go through all those rolls and bags all by your lonesome. Tell you what, I can send you my address and you can send me at least a bag or two and about fifty rolls and I can get them searched for you quite quickly.

Congratulations on a great day for a coin collector!
Jean

Nice finds in MS rolls are many times keepers and if not, are usually easy sellers.

Gotten at a bargain price. Congrats !

[Jonathan]

Hey that's really cool Jon. Good luck going through them. Keep us informed on any good ones.

[JonMN34]

Well here is the first report, I might not do the next one until after I get through the rest of the rolls, but the first rolls were fun.

I go through the Wheats, the 59's and the 60's with the following results:

1956-1DO-001
1957 "BIE" Die Break
1959 Minor Clip (Very nice BU)
1959-1DO-001
1960D-1MM-018 (x2)
1960D-1MM-026
1960D-1MM-033

Plus 50 or so split serif coins and a couple stronger MM I have yet to identify.

I'm enjoying these very much so far

[JonMN34]
