For security reasons I do not want to tell you exactly where they were stored but they were stored in a closet like scenario at room temperature. I did enjoy listening through the history again of how coins at that time came from the mint in bags. I did a dangerous thing when I assumed that everyone here realized they get machine rolled at the facilities, such as banks, which distribute them after the bags are received from the mint. I am sorry, I apologize for not being 100% complete my thought. But once they were rolled they were ever messed with again until just the other day I have several roles left that I will be opening and they are most similar.
Thad, if you wish I will send you a few with no cost to you that you can keep and let me know what you think. Let me know if you wish to do something like this.

None of this changes the fact that the coins are toned and they are toned the way they are because of how they are stored.
Not even sure I understand the whole "security reasons" thing...I don't think anyone asked for your address.

Do you know when that practice started? Never. The mint does not and never has rolled coins. Even those coins the mint sells as "mint rolled" are rolled by an outside private company. |

Nothing personal about the storage of the coins. The reason I did not want to disclose too much information is because I have a psychotic used to frequent this page and lives within a mile of my home. And when I say psychotic,  I mean psychotic, off the reservation! In an out of jail's and let's just say rest homes. Trust me it is nothing against anyone else on this page! Everyone here has been a fantastic acquaintance! |

It's a die chip. It's rather common and considered a normal part of the minting process. Not an error.

I do have 1955S pennies in BU condition. I don't know how to, or where to find, how to send a personal message between members. Some help there would be nice. Thank you!

You have to clixk on "my ccf" then click on "edit my profile" then on your profile page make sure your email is correct and "allow forum members to send you email" is checked. Then you should be able to send messages

I had to check in on your profile to see where you lived to make sure that wasn't me you were talking about.  |

Conder stole my thunder:-), so to speak. he is right when he says that the Mint never rolls the coins.
Full sized Mint sewn bags also came to an end in and around 1999. Small souvenir bags have been made over the years but the large 5000 coin cent bags, for example were done around 1999.
The Mint began to use giant "ballistic" material bags and shipped the bags out to counting companies on pallettes.
The last full bags of cents I remember going through were 1998 D cents. Starting in 1999 all I got were the boxes at the banks that were counted by Brinks.
