1972 Cent Rolls, Real Or Not?

I am sure the experts will jump on me if I am wrong. but it is my understanding that the mint did not roll cents they sent them out in $50 bags to the Fed. They were then distributed to various banks. they were either wrapped at the banks or at the federal reserve. So the only rolled cents you will see will not have been rolled by the mint.

hmmm so odds of me actually getting lucky and unwrapping one of those rolls and finding me a nice DDO in there is close to 0. Thanks for the info!

in my honest opinion there is no such thing as an un searched roll or bag of any key date coin such as the 72. I was around in the 70's and I think that them rolls with the red lines on them are the (not new) but newer rolls. if I am correct in 72 the rolls were all one color. red for cents. and on these rolls from the auction you provided if you look close you will see that the rolls have been opened and the pushed back in to appear sealed.

So the mint placed 1972 memorial cents in a bag without rolls? Scratchy Scratchy anyone? That'd make it impossible to find a MS-65+ that's not proof and therforce cause MS-65 to skyrocket. The current value books state otherwise for the price of a MS-65+ 1972 Memorial cent. hehe, this will take research.
