Pacificoin Pillar of the Community Canada 5402 Posts	Posted 03/30/2022 10:39 am No mystery , they are rolls distributed through the Federal reserve system . In this case San Francisco. Very common and part of the roll bag craze of the 1950s 1960s era. Looks like they have already been opened and searched . Report this Post to the Staff
SaturnD51 Valued Member United States 425 Posts	Posted 03/30/2022 9:20 pm I really don't believe they were opened before because the ends are a little moved but that is because the bag they were in rolled them around.The pennies in the roll are really tight. If I were to take them out I would have to tear the wrapper apart because they are so tight in the roll. I guess I could open up one and save two. If I was smart enough I would take a video of opening one roll. I am too pessimistic that I won't find anything good. All the rolls of wheat pennies I saved up throughout my years and I still haven't found a 1943 copper. They are full rolls and not shotgun.

SaturnD51 Valued Member United States 425 Posts	Posted 03/30/2022 10:41 pm Ok you people got the best of me. I had to open one roll and here is what I got. I listed the mint marked ones in the pictures down below. 34,37,37,35,35,35,35,36,36,38,38,18,17,10,30,30,25,29,39,39, Then the ones with mint marks are 30d,34d,37d,25s,19s,18s,25s,17d,17s,35s,17d,37s,25s,47s,48s,34d,37d,35s,44s,47s,48s,52s,51s,54s,54s,54s,54s,53s,53s,51s. I guess I came out ok. I don't think I had any chance of getting a 09s. I guess it was worth it. Edited by SaturnD51 03/30/2022 10:46 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Your odds would be slim even if you owned a million rolls of wheat pennies. Report this Post to the Staff

mcshilling Pillar of the Community Canada 9165 Posts	Posted 03/31/2022 09:31 am You don't have to ripe the roll open, just unroll the ends with your thumb I do it all the time with shot gun rolls. Report this Post to the Staff

SaturnD51 Valued Member United States 425 Posts	Posted 03/31/2022 2:12 pm Only trouble with just taking them out the end wouldn't work. The pennies were so tight in the wrapper,not loose at all. Kept pounding the penny roll in my hand and they wouldn't budge. Ended up tearing the roll apart. Would of liked to save the wrapper they came in. Report this Post to the Staff
