lawest Pillar of the Community United States 1998 Posts	Posted 10/12/2019 12:19 pm I came across this roll and was wondering if anyone knows anything about them. They appear to have been rolled in 1995. Is it better to keep them rolled or bust them open to search what's inside? Any comments are appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff

Panther Pillar of the Community United States 751 Posts	Posted 10/12/2019 1:40 pm My personal opinion on unsearched Wheat cent rolls is a joke. Those so called unsearched cents have been looked at many times before they were rolled. Granted the rolls as sold may not have been pre-searched, but I am quite sure ever coin was looked at by probably several different hands before they were rolled. I have absolutely ZERO confidence in un-searched lots, bags, or rolls of coins. For example, I have a large bucket of Lincoln cents, 10,000 is a rough estimate. They have not been searched by me, or anyone else. HOWEVER, I have gone through and picked out each and every Copper cent. But I have not searched for any particular dates or errors. I could sell them as un-searched and would not be lying. JMHO. Dan Report this Post to the Staff
lawest Pillar of the Community United States 1998 Posts	Posted 10/12/2019 2:32 pm I own these, just didn't know if it was worth breaking it open or collecting it as a roll Report this Post to the Staff

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19221 Posts	Posted 10/12/2019 3:11 pm I'd open it. In my opinion, being wrapped in a 1995 30 coin 'sweepstakes winner' wrapper is a bit of a gimmick--carries very, very little if any extra value. On the other hand, keep it unopened if that's what you like--no harm in that. Report this Post to the Staff

moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 10/12/2019 5:45 pm I'd save one just for chuckles. It will probably prove to be the most fun you will get out of the rest of the rolls. Report this Post to the Staff
CoinTheTerm Pillar of the Community United States 1161 Posts	Posted 10/12/2019 5:48 pm I'd definitely open it what's the point of keeping a close circulated coin roll? Report this Post to the Staff

lawest Pillar of the Community United States 1998 Posts	Posted 10/14/2019 09:42 am I opened the roll and I think the forum comments were right on. Three from the 40's and twenty seven from the 50's. I did find what I think is 1957D-1MM-005 so not a total loss. Report this Post to the Staff
jonnin Valued Member United States 128 Posts	Posted 10/14/2019 12:48 pm Neat find! Given the age of it, I would have guessed most are EF shape, pulled from change before too much damage...? Edited by jonnin 10/14/2019 12:49 pm Report this Post to the Staff
