Rat Pack RARE DUNES HOTEL Las Vegas Silver Half Dollar Roll 1950's Casino

Description

This is an original unopened c1955 Half Dollar Roll with 100% all silver Half Dollars inside.  This one has some sleuthing we may all do to confirm it.  The Dunes Hotel as shown on this original roll was opened in 1955, with the famous "Diamond of the Dunes" 24 floor tower added in 1961.   As the hotel name and graphic are clearly the pre-1961 version of the Dunes "Sign only" without showing the building that was at the time the tallest in Nevada and featured always as such, it is sound and logical that this roll is 1950's.   Thus we conclude this roll is c1955-1960 and is for sure 100% silver half dollars as there was nothing else at that time.
There are 20 Half Dollars in the Roll.
This roll is very rare in original condition.   The ends are tight and originally rolled on both ends.  Clearly there are Circulated
Walking Liberty Silver Half Dollars on each end
.
Beyond that it is a mystery.  There may be super rare coins inside or they may be any year's within the logical range as no one has opened it since it was created.  The value unopened vs. opened is left to the new owner.  Opening it is totally at the risk of the buyer.  We do not recommend opening the roll as the value of these rolls without opening has been
consistently
rising for years. Once opened it is a pile of circulated coins that may or may not be highly valuable, but the value it has to others as a sealed original casino roll is lost forever.  We do NOT accept returns if the roll is opened as it is then no longer the same item.  Again, opening it is 100% at the risk of the buyer.  We are selling it valued as what it is now, an old unopened Las Vegas casino roll.
This is a very rare roll.  There are plenty of casino tokens and penny rolls listed but the ones with silver coins were opened long ago.   You can look a long time and not find one of these in this condition.
We have a series of them, so will be listing others over time.  This is the only one we have from the Dunes. It is tight and sound as shown.   The ends are super tight as shown.   It has clearly never been opened.   This rare silver coin casino 1950's roll is among the best condition of all of the Rat Pack era rolls we have.  There are no flaws other than a tiny bit of toning and rub to the paper, and even that is not a flaw as we would have to wonder why a 65 year old coin roll would not have any if it didn't.
