I've tried searching the net but am more confused than before I started. Would appreciate some help from the community who have good information I can trust. Picked up four rolls of Cents from my bank yesterday. My questions are as follows.

1) I would like to know the proper nomenclature, 'Unopened' bank roll, 'Original' bank roll or both?

2) 3 of the 4 rolls have a 2021 ender. Am I to assume that the entire roll are 2021's?

3) I see people on Ebay who list rolls like this as say for instance '2009 P' how do they know they are all '2009 P's' if they have never been opened?

4) A couple months ago I bought a roll of 2009 Lincolns in the same type appearing roll for $2. However it is stamped '2009 Lincoln Form P'. I haven't opened that roll. Did my LCS order those from the Mint?

5) I don't think there is anything too great in these but have had these questions for awhile. This is mundane to most of you I understand but I'm learning and would like to learn the right way.

If you've read this far, thank you for your patience. If you suffer from insomnia or are just bored out of your mind I would appreciate your thoughts. Thank you.

Is the opposite end of what you are showing also have the same year? Plus one of the roll has a ring scratched into it from the machine rolling it up.

Hey MC, of the four rolls I pictured two of them show the obverse and reverse in the same roll. One roll has enders that are both reverse and one roll has both enders that are obverse.

N.F. String & Sons is the company that made the wrapper. https://www.nfstring.com

I think you can fill in the rest... somebody bought a large quantity of coins (might even be one of the Fed's contracted coin terminals), counted and wrapped them.

Could have been a decade ago. Could have been yesterday.

So what...

I call them OBW or Original Bank Wrapped rolls, but this isn't an OBW, it's just a random roll (no bank name)
Not to be confused with government wrapped rolls (like the ones you could order from the Mint for golden dollars, quarters, etc.)

If you got them from a box just cut one open to verify they're all the same, but I see no reason why they wouldn't be. Who would bother trying to mess with rolls of 2021 cents?

Not much fraud on eBay in modern low-value rolls such as this one, you do see "unsearched roll" garbage tends to be on older mixed date coin rolls (pre-1965) and a lot of those have dead giveaways such as having coins of other types or denominations present.

I see nothing wrong with these rolls, they look perfectly normal to me and look like decent coin enders.

(Since they're 2021, I'm pretty sure they weren't wrapped a decade ago!)

I have gotten rolls of newer coins from my bank before; those look like bank wrapped rolls. When I have opened the newer rolls before, sometimes they are all shiny, and sometimes they are 85% shiny and 15% circulated. Usually they are all circulated though, at least from the bank I use. I hope that this answer helped.
