BU Roll 1954 90% Silver Washington Quarters Lustrous Unc 40 Coins

BU Roll 1954 90% Silver Washington Quarters Lustrous Uncirculated 40 Coins

Nice BU Roll of of 1954 Philadelphia Mint issue Washington Quarters. All coins are Philadelphia mint issues with mostly brilliant and full cartwheel luster. A small handful have some toning, and the two singled out as having the most toning are front and center, likely end of roll coins at one time.

I stop short of putting the claim that this is an "original roll". Unless I obtain the roll in bank wrapped roll form, and the paper and the roll style and age that should be on that paper is consistent with the generation, I will not make such a claim as I was not in custody nor do I know who has retained custody of this roll since 1954!

I do know this roll, along with 74 other rolls of 1941-1954 BU Quarters, was obtained in the summer of 2021 from a collector/dealer in California; someone I have bought and sold from since 2010. I know he had those rolls in his possession for well over a decade, but where they were, who had them, and their provenance beforehand, is unknown. therefore, I will not lay claim to this being an "Original Roll".

 I have been collecting and buying and selling rolls and original rolls or pre-1964 quarters/dimes and halves and pre-1980 pennies and nickels for 20+ years. Spots plague and are typical with original silver, pre-1964 Washington Quarter BU rolls.

This roll was part of the 75-roll acquisition I made in the summer of 2021 from a west coast gent who had these quarter rolls in his collection since the 1990s. Gorgeous and untouched beauty aged to perfection by Mother Nature.

If you have any questions, please let me know.
