    Description

    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.
