20 GIMBLES Silver Dollar Roll Morgan UNC C. Up For Auction is a 150- 20 GIMBLES Silver Dollar Roll Morgan UNC C Roll Weighing 537.3 g Based On this weight this is a UNC Roll We are very excited to present over 1,500 Silver Dollar Rolls from what we are calling “The Department Store Hoard”. Inside this hoard was a huge estate of hundreds of silver dollar rolls. The sheer size of it was unprecedented. Throughout the early-mid 1900’s the collector of the estate acquired hundreds of coin rolls of all different types. His family tells us that he was at one point a buyer for Macys and then a suit wholesaler to various department stores. While in these stores he would often pick up “investment rolls” at a lower price than they were offering the public. In his collection, we found original numismatic advertisements, catalogs, newspapers, and magazines from a wide array of places used to order these rolls and various other coins in his collection.There were 10-15 different types of roll’s in this collection. However, the vast majority were stamped “Gimbels, Marshall Field, and Sears”. Among this collection are 10 and 20 coin rolls. Most of the covered end rolls are marked “Morgan, Peace, or Mixed”. The Gimbels rolls are marked “A+, A, B+, B, and C” and stamped on one of the ends “M” or “P” designating Morgans or Peace Dollars. We believe more than this variety existed at some point, but these are the only markings that we found in this collection. After opening several of each type, we have determined that the letters seem to refer to the rarity and quality of the coins inside. We have spent months going through this collection and identifying everything. We have opened several rolls of every type and did not find any that were miss marked. Based on all of our findings and what we have found when we opened various rolls, we have estimated the values of what we believe each variation tends to have.There were a lot of rolls in this hoard and the different kinds are quite confusing, Corey has made a PDF explaining each variety and what he has found in a bit more depth. If you are interested in a copy, send us an email at jordan@kdcauction.com and we’ll send one right over.The agreement with the Consignee is that we wire on Friday their portion of the funds for any rolls paid that week and on Mondays we will send our runner up to New York to retrieve the rolls for shipment that week from our offices as well as photographing the rolls for the next week's auction. We hope you enjoy these rolls as much as we have bringing them to you!
