I agree with saving penny rolls in plastic nickel tubes, I've been doing this for several years and they fit perfect. Good idea to break open a roll with tails on both ends, put the best ones in 2X2's to trade for others you might need later.

Just to be clear, you suggest searching the rolls with tails on both ends for dateless coins? Just had this happen to me with 2013d nickels. Same philosophy?

If not fully understanding the "tails" explanation, tails means "reverse" on the coin,and heads means the "obverse". Every roll searcher wants a "heads/tails" roll. So one can determine what year and mint of that roll. It's great to find a roll (tails/heads) when one end is a certain variety. Nice premium then if you ever want to sell. In the 2009 Lincoln series,I have many nice end rolls with varieties on them!

Tail/Tail (or reverse/reverse) are not as desirable (to a roll collector) as you cannot tell the year/mint of the roll without previous knowledge.

If you crack them open, there is no difference.
