Quin36 Valued Member United States 208 Posts	Posted 05/02/2019 4:51 pm This box is just odd to me. Box of what appears to be 2018 D, all new obviously. One roll is short. Three rolls have older coins as 'enders'. I ended up opening two rolls and as expected all are 2018 D's, except two or three in each roll- they are older; 2014, 2016, 2017 P, 2015, 1990, 1996... ? What shall I do with this box? Report this Post to the Staff

fioti Pillar of the Community United States 4212 Posts	Posted 05/02/2019 6:57 pm Occasionally, I run into this with nickels, the box has predominantly one date & mint, but a few are mixed w/1 or 2 others. There's no guarantee that the hopper will be empty on the wrapping machine. Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19627 Posts	Posted 05/03/2019 07:41 am I've never had a shorted box, but I come across tight, 'bank wrapped rolls' of mint state cents (same date, same mint), with two or three older cents mixed in, more often than one would expect. Last year--for sampling purposes--I opened 20 Loomis cent rolls from my stash which appeared to be filled with solid mint state coins--same year and mint. Six of the rolls had a small scattering of old cents, the other rolls were solid. Had a similar experience a few years ago with Loomis and other 'bank wrapped rolls'. Report this Post to the Staff
