I got my Lincoln birth place rolls today and they are sealed very tightly. So I was wondering how do they seal them (shotgun rolls in general), how is the machine called and what's the procedure. Maybe you have some helpful links, those would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
you can actually make your own "shotgun" rolls, which is how a lot of those that pop up on ebay are created. there's a device called a twist-n-crimp, that rolls the open end of a pre-formed coin wrapper into a shotgun style roll. this is another reason to be wary and skeptical of so-called "unsearched shotgun rolls" just because the roll has two rolled ends doesn't mean it hasn't been thoroughly searched and picked through.
Be wary of anything from ebay. Many sellers are ready to to defraud with false claims. There are of course many honest sellers (like me) that let you know the way it is. There are also some sellers that really don't know what they have (variety or rare item) and you can score a bargain sometimes.
Can you only buy wrappers of "less known" coin wrapping companies for the twist-n-crimp or can you buy N.F. String and Son wrappers to use for this machine?
