If you do open it, do it carefully so as to hang onto the roll. Its a treasure all on its own.

1943 florins

The San Francisco mint issue, despite the lower
 mintage is a easier coin to acquire in
 mint state due to the abundance of
 mint rolls surfacing from the Vienna hoard. While a number of examples are available in MS65, sourcing one can be quite a challenge with most locked away in private collections.

I'll assume Enworb and Robbie are talking about the "Vienna Hoard".  It was sold off in the late 1980's by Downies if I remember correctly.  There were a number of ACR's of the period with advertisements to buy coins/rolls from the hoard.  The rolls (mostly mid 40's silver) were hoarded by an immigrant Jewish jeweller during and after WW2.  And the said jeweller was from *drum roll* Vienna, Austria.

Thats the one thanks mark. Id heard the name but didnt realise the story behind it or that it was actually 30 years ago.

[robbiegal]

the 1944 S roll/s that shows up in the rolls around here in the local auctions -  are also touted as being from the from that Vienna hoard
