Chancellor Sutler Pillar of the Community United States 1372 Posts	Posted 08/10/2012 7:28 pm I get so tired of seeing these concocted rolls of "unsearched" small cents on ebay. My grandfather knew the difference between a dime and a penny, and I'd bet you a thousand dollars he never put a dime in a roll of pennies. Some of these are so poorly hand crimped as to be laughable. Thne there are those "fuzzy" ones that were rolled at the bank by somebody's wife ... in new wrappers ... that were then tumbled to artificially age the rolls. If I want the end coins, I'll buy them listed seperately ... so I can see both the obverse and reverse sides of the coin. I don't need one more Wheat cent. Not one that's going to be gotten in these con job rolls. I actually need 5 to complete a set. They're the same 5 everybody else needs, and won't be found in these rolls.

Dave H Pillar of the Community United States 1436 Posts	Posted 08/10/2012 8:32 pm I agree. It makes me laugh when you see a tiny trime ever so precariously tucked into the ends of the roll. Like that coin would have ever possibly stayed in there in all the years Report this Post to the Staff
OldSkoolMadSkilz Pillar of the Community United States 2077 Posts	Posted 08/10/2012 9:12 pm Know what you mean. There is one seller that stamps his rolls "Federal Reserve of Denver". Many of his rolls have 1916 mercs on the end. Must have been something wrong with the Fed's sorter in that it only mistook 1916 dimes as pennies and odly enough always dropped them on the rolls face up on the end. Maybe, just maybe, bank employees discovered that rolls stay together better when 16 mercs and 09s wheats are on the end. If they ran out, they'd use IHCs and civil war tokens. Or maybe not.

Seems to me that CC Seated Liberty dimes tend to hold the pennies in place very well too, or S mint mark Indians "one guy found his to be a 09S, gimme a break. Worth the read and laugh Report this Post to the Staff
