I'm suspicious myself... not of the roll, but of the amount of the bids. When the identity is protected like that, how simple would it be to shill bid it up???

Wow! Well, collectors do love the first & last of things.

Let's see where Roll #00001 ends up

Thanks for the help, Joe. You better not let Franklin see those...he'll be asking for one.

Well... I guess P.T. Barnum was right (although I've heard that was false attribution of a quote)

I still say the 20,000'th roll sold CHEAP. Were that a US roll of the same type I would expect $250,000 or more.

Funny story - it was a local buddy of mine who sold that roll to that seller.
He didn't check the serial numbers (it was a large lot) and sold it to him for 20 bucks a roll!
Needless to say, he is extrememly upset at his mistake.

Any roll is bringing good money

most rolls are only bringing in $40-$50.00, which is still high for $0.50 worth of pennies.
