marianne Posted April 6, 2007 Report Share Posted April 6, 2007 My dad probably bought this because of the (relatively) low mintage and because it was one of the last years that S.F. minted business strike cents. I found the invoice: $92.50 ppd in Jan. 1974. I can't decide whether to hang on to the unopened bag or give in to temptation and open it. Is it even possible to peek without getting carried away?

Scottishmoney Posted April 6, 2007 Report Share Posted April 6, 2007 Seems like a lot to pay for cents back then, but now I would leave it unopened(been that way for 34 years now), I have no idea what they are worth now, but lot more than $92.50.

marianne Posted April 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2007 The seller had a 1973-D bag for $20 less. I thought it was high, too. And shipping from Oregon wouldn't account for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottishmoney Posted April 6, 2007 Report Share Posted April 6, 2007 I have some bags from the Denver mint, but they were opened and I got them a lot later. Now they store British pennies. I use a 1963 Royal Canadian Mint bag(curiously they shipped $60 worth of cents in it) for all my cent hauls to and from the banks. I stopped using the 1925 North of Scotland linen bag after I nearly left it at the bank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
