The roll that you popped open go ahead and carefully remove the rest of them . Save the other two rolls intact ( don't remove paper wrapper ) and put them in Nickel plastic tubes . Salt those 2 rolls away and give them to Kennedy when she's about 25 . Go through the opened roll ,pick out the best red ones with little to no issues and holder them . If you think you have some gems show us some photos and we can advise you yay or nay to send them in for grading .

I'm starting to believe all of the coins were actually for the OP and he took them away from his niece on some trumped up charges!

At some point I can see someone posting here and saying "Shoot me your address and I'll send some things for her." and CCB420 replying, "Dude, she's 35 now she can buy her own coins."

I promise that's not the case, lord knows there's some beautiful coins in this whole stash! Wouldn't be able to live with myself, they're definitely hers, which she reminds me of quite often!! Now will they likely stay with my collection...probably for a while, til she's in her thirty's maybe! Same grandpa, retired in 80's maybe, but went to bank and got each of the grandkids $10 worth of the gold dollars, when they were first issued, which was 2000 correct? I can't remember, but they were just loose coins, Not protected with anything, I was in my early twenties, in college, and well, their time in my presence was short lived

Hopefully they were circulated dollars, but he probably doesn't remember! Think 1 of my sisters managed to hold onto 1 or 2, but the other 7 grandkids...well 5 of the 8 are my brother and sisters, I'm betting other 3 don't have theirs either

I hope you were just kidding about the 30's thing. A YN should be able to hold onto their own collection, otherwise it's not really theirs.  11 years old is definitely old enough to have Lincoln cents in their own possession.

Hey everybody, Been a tough row to hoe here lately, nothing with or about my niece, other family members, the wife to my grandfather who gave me those 3 rolls is in surgery as we speak, amputated leg from mid knee, with her turning 95 in Nov, well you know.....just wanted everyone to know I'm trying to set up the entire collection of gifts again this evening, hopefully pics by tonight, or tomorrow! It's been taking so long, because I'm ocd to an extent, logging each coin that was given by whom, and I'm sorry T-Bop and BH, yalls were opened and went through by her, like a Tasmanian devil, no time to wait! Mr Bobby, all yours were in flips stamped with ccf, except maybe 4 wheats and 1'30s Buffalo nickel, I think! Please correct me if thats not the case! Of course Mschilling had the Canadian, but I think we're still waiting on on package from another member, that emailed me directly, as opposed to posting, so won't mention names, but I'm headed to mailbox now to see if its here! Thank you all for your wonderful gifts ,and your patience on this matter! Just wanted to let you know I'm not in jail for whipping an 11 yo with a pear tree switch! Colin B

Sorry this took so long, Kennedy and her aunt, are at the beach this week and I actually had more than 1 day off, so I managed to finally get an overall shot of everything that was given! To the best of my knowledge anyways, but aside from maybe 40-50 of the wheaties, she already had plugged from my Stash, plus the 1 from the $10 roll, tmand the Wheat penny album itself, the rest are gifts fron the fabulous members, here at the CCF! Oh, and I gave her about 8 yrs of Indian heads that she put in the empty Indian head album, that was also gifted, along with the Jefferson nickel, and earlier Washington qtrs albums for her to start on next! But the Lincoln's seen in the 2 loose pages (for the much nicer Lincoln album) were also gifts. If you can't tell from the pic, that's a 1992 American proof set, but she was also sent the 2017 Canadian proof set. The loose coins above her wheat album are also Canadian, starting in the 1930's, going up to the present, with several of those looking like they were uncirculated. Above those, were the world coins from all over across the globe, sent in the 2.5 lbs of sweetness, gifted by Mr @Bobby1313! If I'm not mistaken, all the coi s in the white flips, were part of those 2 5 lbs, which included included the 3 empty albums, the 2 dansco pages that are mostly full of gem state coins, a cpl new Buffalo nickel proofs, cpl circulated what's, '38 Buffalo nickel, set of uncirculated 2009 P Commem's & 2009 D Commem's, 10 1960 P's, and about 10 other early '60's, all gem state! After hearing what @Saturn51 said about the wheaties you sent, I had her put all of your wheaties in her album, replacing any that were already present, so they couldn't get mixed up with any of the others! I was taken aback by the fact that you sent a complete stranger your collection of early wheats, that hold such memories of you and your father, but then you threw in the '92 Proof set & the Mexican 50 cent piece, also above the wheat album, that I forgot to mention earlier! I know yall have heard me say it a bunch, but I'll say it again, Thank You! Whether it's 2.5 lbs or 2.5 grams, each package that was sent, are sincerely appreciated! However, her 8 y.o. lil sister runs up to me the other day with an empty water bottle, that had a cpl bucks worth of coins in the bottom, saying "look, look, uncle coggie (what all the the niece's and nephew's call me, long story) I'm collecting coins now too, but mine aren't as pretty as Kenny's" Thanks again everyone! CCB and Kennedy
