So I picked up a few dozen rolls today on the way home to go hunting tonight and I cleaned out their drawer. They proceeded to cut open a banded box which I've never seen them do at my bank, and what comes out but shiney new coins :) Not exactly what I was hunting for but kind of cool I guess. Broke one open and it was the most beautiful, blinding roll I have ever seen. Keeping a few intact for myself. Maybe share a few or trade as I've heard some people are having trouble getting the 2013's? Anyway, just thought I'd share. Maybe this is more common then I think, but 1st time for me :)

Oh, and the pics are from my iPhone... They don't do the coins justice!

On a side note, being new, what's the best way to store unopened rolls? If I just leave them as is, I imagine they will oxidize, correct? Do they make something to keep them as is? Any suggestions? I imagine some of you store unopened rolls :)

I've been told nickel size coin tubes will hold a wrapped penny roll.

Nickel tube does seem like a good idea, thanks!

I've managed to find a 2013D here in Canada but I haven't got a no mm yet.
It is getting tougher with pennies not circulating here.

Really great the way they get that 97.5% zinc and 2.5% copper to shine

I always love when the new pennies come out, I always hoard them 'til about June, then I remember that they are only worth 1.6 cents and I spend them all.

Then I do the same thing again next year

I was so proud when I found a 2013 penny.

Unfortunately, I expect that by next year, there will be so few pennies left that I'll have to buy the 2014 - even finding Canadian pennies is a challenge now...

I have found rolls of new 2013-P pennies in our area (FL panhandle)but none them look as nice as these. You must have found some with extra nice blanks and new dies. Nice find!

Going back to the OPs question: I'd guess that unopened rolls are fine as is and will only oxidize on the ends. I'm not much of a roll saver, but I do have a few 2009 cent rolls in plastic bags with some desiccant and stored in a closed box. I also had a 1974 roll I saved from when I was a kid and opened it up in 2010 or 11 and it was all pristine in there and I had not stored it in any special way.

I've read that before... About the tails on both ends... My question is what does that signify? Curiosity has got me :)
