We didn't know what to expect when we stopped by our local coin shop and purchased this original roll of 1958-D Lincoln Cents. The coins were in a paper roll marked by the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco and have not been seen or spent since.
This roll cost us $15 but could contain valuable Superb Gems or a few interesting die varieties.
Now that we set your expectations too high know that rolls like this were put away by the thousands by speculators and collectors during the roll craze of the 1950s and early 1960s.
This time capsule of mid 20th century numismatics is sure to spark an interesting conversation. CoinWeek editor Charles Morgan narrates.
