westernsky Pillar of the Community United States 7613 Posts	Posted 12/17/2023 01:12 am Few coin dealers offer to buy rolls of cents like this and use the term "just take 'em to the bank" when dealing with customers trying to sell them for more than face value. So, "common" BU rolls of older Lincoln Memorial cents show up in bank deposits and Coinstar redemptions on occasion. They then end up being redistributed out into commerce by banks and armored car companies. That's how you ended up with 3 of these "new looking" older coins! If you like 'em keep 'em!

Ballyhoo Pillar of the Community United States 1613 Posts	Posted 12/26/2023 11:13 pm Every year during National Coin Week (April) I put various older coinage into circulation. I've bought or had bu rolls of common date wheat backs that I've done so one year. Last year it was higher grade circulated Buffalo nickels. So that's a possibility, of someone paying it forward so to speak to intince new collectors.
