After I opened all of them I found nothing newer than 1980 and nothing older than 1959 (minus one 1917 wheat that is rough). Think these rolls have already been picked? Or just someone saving change?

n9jig Pillar of the Community United States 997 Posts	Posted 09/18/2015 3:31 pm Since some of the wrappers predate Zip Codes they might have some collector value themselves. They are likely printed before the mid 1960's but of curse could have sat empty since then. Since the newest coins date 1980 they are all copper anyway so are probably keepers for most roll hunters. I suspect someone came across them when Grandma died and returned them for cash. Since the rolls are older than many of the coins I wonder if Grandpa was a collector and had some plan in place for them before he passed. Report this Post to the Staff

jbuck Moderator United States 188660 Posts	Posted 09/18/2015 11:53 pm Someone may have inherited them, or they were keeping them for the cooper and got tried of waiting for the profit. Either way or another, a nice find if you keep copper.
