    30 best memorial rolls

    Just curious, if you could pick 30 rolls of memorials what would you get. Most are bank wrapped. Of course not the few that you would not expect. Probably up to 5 rolls for each year. So what rolls would you pick? There are some bu whart rolls from 56 and up but not bank wrapped.
    I ask just cause I am doing this Tuesday. Thanks Jim.

      Yeah I made a deal with buddy who has a bunch of lincoln rolls. I mean more than I ever saw in one spot. I get to pick 30 rolls of my choice. Probably no more than 5 rolls for one year. I was wondering what rolls would you guys pick

          1959, 1960, 1961, a few of the rest of the 1960's. The rest are a shot in the dark.

            They include the zinc years? Same price for any dates?

            I'd throw in some of these, some because of varieties but most because they're less common to find or worth a bit extra:

            69-P, 70-P, 72-P, 82-SDPZ, 82-SDPC, 82-LDDZ, 83-P/D, 84-P/D, 85-P/D, 86-P/D, 87-P/D, 88-P/D
            Any wheat rolls if the price is the same.

            Maybe try getting one each of any year/MM he has and start a roll set?

              So for my thinking is same as yours I still have boxes of bank wrapped stuff from 59-67. I am pretty much tired of looking at them. He has rolls starting from 1909 and up. Probably no the key dates but he does have the semi key dates I saw. Ofcourse they are all circulated up to the middle 50's I guess. I got some 56-d from him and found some nice rpms That I posted a few weeks ago.
              I have had more rolls at one time than I care to admit but it does not compare to his roll collection. 10 years ago I used to get my rolls from him and I knew they would be good as he does not care about varieties. Well I saw him at a show last month and we just started talking again. To make this short he is wishy washy on selling them one day yeah I will sell then next no. I called him today to trade a bunch of BU canadian rolls I have and he said he is getting old and may want to sell. I offered to purchase all of them last month and he said no. Now he may. Who knows but its a gold mine when he does. I still have a couple cases from him from 10 years ago that I have not searched. mainly 62-64.
              as for roll set I have had a few and now am working on a bank wrapped set. Un fortunatly I get bored and open the good years.
