The odds of all these coins in a roll being double bars are about the same as getting a full roll of 2000 incuse coins.
There is more than 1 die being used at any one time and ALL the coins go into a bin from all these different dies before rolling
The odds of your rolls being 100% double dies is about the same as picking the winning numbers for the next lotto draw

Hi Shane,
It all depends on your end game.
Would you be upset if you ripped open the rolls and they were not all double bars?
Would you rather sit on the rolls for 10 or 20 years and then sell complete?
If they were not double bars could you sell them and get your money back as individuals?

No point weaseling the top one out to have a peek at the one underneath as you may damage the roll where it cannot be returned to its normal state.

By the way Shane, your coin collection is great!
Enworb, great error, absolutely brilliant!

shainw personally if I were in your lucky boat I would open and would record as it was done "for proof of them being in a roll" and I would do it without ripping if possible and look at the first 3 from one end.

"..... one giant leap for mint coined"

Shane, if they're not double bar, you might be able to make them single bar ......

"..... one giant leap for mint coined"


Shanew, I'm too scared to recommend anything in case it all goes the same way as Space Shuttle Challenger.
But really keen to know what you decide.

I would keep it intact, with the romantic dream, that someday, technology will provide an affordable way to scan the coins still intact in the roll.

Nice error 50 centers. If you do choose to flip the first couple to look, you might as well open the whole roll. My belief is that if both ends have double bars, then the whole roll will have them
