"Hi hussulo, these long cross pennies are a fascinating but complex series. What are the reference books you are using which describe the different classes? I have one of Wren's books, but it only covers the voided long cross pennies of Henry III and Edward I."
I am mainly a milled coin collector thus don't have a huge lot of books on hammered coins. The one I use regularly is Coincraft's Standard catalogue of English and UK coins 1066 to date.

My only guess is that they were placed in the rolls by using a small coin counting machine. They sell them in various retail stores. Anything you dump into one of those things gets sorted by size and can end up in a roll.

The dime wrapper was the kind that is used in one of those devices, so that is what I suspect happened.

Of course, someone who may have thought they were play money. or someone just having fun may have put them in the rolls.

I still have no idea how to get rolls from UK places - I went into my local bank and they looked at me with a puzzled expression when I asked for rolls...
