50 (full original roll) OBW Uncirculated 1951-D 90 % Silver Roosevelt Dimes
50 (full roll) Uncirculated 1951-D Denver Mint 90% Silver Roosevelt Dimes. These coins were wrapped by the Second National Bank of Houston in 1951 and then stored for over 70 years. Note that the dime on the end is tarnished.
That's what happens when you exposed silver to air for this long. But from the other rolls I've opened, the other 48 coins are in perfect condition. I haven't opened this roll so that you have the original wrapper.For you history buffs, here is a blurb about the Second National Bank of Houston from texashistory-dot-unt-dot-edu. The Second National Bank of Houston, a three-story brick building in downtown Houston.
Text on the back of the postcard reads, By 1923, the name Lumberman's National Bank did not accurately describe the bank you know today as the Bank of the Southwest. So, Lumberman's became the Second National Bank of Houston. Many years ago, Bank of the Southwest became Amegy Bank when Zions Bancorp bought them.
