I went by my local Coin Dealer today just for a visit

and when I got there he was going through a recent purchase. As I started nosing around and going through what he had just purchased (generally making a pest of myself)there was a roll of pennies that the seller/original owner had purchased from the bank on April 15th, 1943. I know this because he wrote the date that he purchased it on the paper roll. This roll hasn't seen the light of day for over 60 years! I didn't think there were any Original Bank Rolls of Steel Cents left. I'm not a big collector of Lincoln Cents but this is one that I just had to have so I handed him a check for $50 and headed for the house! I didn't think that $1.00 per coin was a bad price. I figure the collector value is worth more than that but the historical value is priceless! What a great find!
