Nickel tube does seem like a good idea, thanks!

I've managed to find a 2013D here in Canada but I haven't got a no mm yet.
It is getting tougher with pennies not circulating here.

Really great the way they get that 97.5% zinc and 2.5% copper to shine  I always love when the new pennies come out, I always hoard them 'til about June, then I remember that they are only worth 1.6 cents and I spend them all. Then I do the same thing again next year  Edited by denco7

I was so proud when I found a 2013 penny.
Unfortunately, I expect that by next year, there will be so few pennies left that I'll have to buy the 2014 - even finding Canadian pennies is a challenge now...

I have found rolls of new 2013-P pennies in our area (FL panhandle)but none them look as nice as these. You must have found some with extra nice blanks and new dies. Nice find!

Going back to the OPs question: I'd guess that unopened rolls are fine as is and will only oxidize on the ends. I'm not much of a roll saver, but I do have a few 2009 cent rolls in plastic bags with some desiccant and stored in a closed box. I also had a 1974 roll I saved from when I was a kid and opened it up in 2010 or 11 and it was all pristine in there and I had not stored it in any special way.

Open the ones that are tails on both sides and look for errors and varities...save the rest

I've read that before... About the tails on both ends... My question is what does that signify? Curiosity has got me :)

I agree with saving penny rolls in plastic nickel tubes, I've been doing this for several years and they fit perfect. Good idea to break open a roll with tails on both ends, put the best ones in 2X2's to trade for others you might need later.

Just to be clear, you suggest searching the rolls with tails on both ends for dateless coins? Just had this happen to me with 2013d nickels. Same philosophy?

If not fully understanding the "tails" explanation, tails means "reverse" on the coin,and heads means the "obverse". Every roll searcher wants a "heads/tails" roll. So one can determine what year and mint of that roll. It's great to find a roll (tails/heads) when one end is a certain variety. Nice premium then if you ever want to sell. In the 2009 Lincoln series,I have many nice end rolls with varieties on them! |

Tail/Tail (or reverse/reverse) are not as desirable (to a roll collector) as you cannot tell the year/mint of the roll without previous knowledge.
If you crack them open, there is no difference.
