5 rolls of wheats

[Blak bart]

Just found these on top of my kitchen cabinets. They must have been left by the previous owners. 4 rolls are marked 30,40,50. One is unmarked. Should I open them or leave them rolled ?? Dying to see whats inside but dont want to make a mistake by taking them out of the rolls??
Been in my house forteen years and I never knew they were there until now.
Pretty well hidden, or more likely just forgotten. I guess I could put them back in the rolls.

Im pushing them out right now. Gonna try to slide them out without destroying the tubes. It should be pretty easy.

You can get more coin wrappers at your bank or Wally World. There might be a 1909 s vdb in there. Get them opened and checked out.

Sweet find, might as well by the older penny coin folder, You got a good start to a descent collection right there.

Holy moly that's a great find!!!!

 

[huntsman53]

Congrats on the find! Looks like there are some decent AU/BU coins in the bunch. Make sure to check the coins for errors and varieties.

Killer find man, be sure to ask her if she's found any more insignificant coin rolls hidden around the house. With as dark as they are they almost look like dug coins.

Your right locco..... I just became a wheat collector. This will be great for my son and I to do. It will be his collection.

Great find! Like Icewing mentioned, there could be more hidden elsewhere. Look under the kitchen sink cabinet too. Never know!

 

[Moonshadow]

Great find! I would be pulling up my air conditioner vents now too......and really diggin in those hard to reach places in my house!

I still cant belive it . I've been up there a couple times and looked right over them. Didnt find them till I fet around with my hand . Looking for my thermostat control for the pancake griddle. Cant belive my wife knew they were there and said nothing all these years. Of course she says she told me!!
