chuckster 125 Pillar of the Community United States 4113 Posts	Posted 03/18/2008 12:24 pm Found this cent in the first roll of 1970s OBW's I recently purchased looking for small date 1970's and DDO's etc. NO DATE. I know its not worth any extra value etc, but what I was really surprised with was I didn't realize how thin the coin actually is.- you could probably snap it very easily. * No small date or DDO so far , naturally Image: OffCenterjpeg1.jpg 55.98 KB Image: OffCenterjpeg2.jpg 54.62 KB Image: OffCenterjpeg3.jpg 48.58 KB Image: OffCenterjpeg4.jpg 48.99 KB Report this Post to the Staff

amac44 Member United States 3242 Posts	Posted 03/18/2008 2:24 pm If brinks rolled it it would have broken out the side of the roll. maybe they did not notices it. It wouldn't be a 1st time someone payed $5.75 an hour and gets a bounces for the amount rolled per day ,like piece work. I know at the tire plant I worked at we had a big problem with odd thing like candy wrapper,penny's and other think sticking out of new tire.

chuckster 125 Pillar of the Community United States 4113 Posts	Posted 03/18/2008 4:55 pm It was in a completely sealed roll but there was some play in the roll- not like a newer Spring Bros Etc tighly compacted roll- it was labeled "Patent# 2205283- Steel- Strong Gunshell" The paper itself when I unwrapped it was very thick and all the coins inside were B.U Obverse and Reverse, but I did notice the edges of every coin was like a powder brown color- not shiny . The off-center cent was right there, in with all the other coins. I can't explain why it did not get damaged or damage the roll- I have no idea. Report this Post to the Staff
foundinrolls Pillar of the Community United States 3507 Posts	Posted 03/18/2008 5:05 pm I have also found off center coins in rolls. They fit down in at a slight angle so they are not perfectly flat in relation to the coin above it or below it in a roll. They still fit though. Thanks, Bill Report this Post to the Staff
