This is the kind of wrapping you see on new rolls directly from the mint. I thought they would be new and so picked them up. Turns out they are all previously circulated coins. Moral of the story Not all shrink wrapped coins contain previously uncirculated coins Any thoughts? Report this Post to the Staff

DoubleEagle20 Pillar of the Community United States 1750 Posts	Posted 11/30/2013 11:25 am I wonder how long before the RCM starts harassing people in advertisements to redeem their pocket change stashes? Never thought I'd see the day the pure nickel coins were removed from circulation...wow. Report this Post to the Staff

Alex A Pillar of the Community 710 Posts	Posted 12/01/2013 11:00 am One coin dealer told these rolls are only worth face value and "just take them to the bank". Report this Post to the Staff
RoyalSilver Pillar of the Community Canada 933 Posts	Posted 12/01/2013 12:00 pm I hate seeing shrink wrapped rolls. Means they are all new-er coins. When I get a sealed box of dimes or quarters I just go straight to another branch and return it. Waste of time looking at 2001-present coins Report this Post to the Staff
