Benja Valued Member United States 186 Posts	Posted 03/31/2017 11:25 pm Hi, I picked up a box of nickels, the one that has brown tape and has rolls with no brand on them. Anyways, When I opened the box, around a third of the rolls were completely white. They looked machine-wrapped, and one of them was even half blue half blank. Is this rare or valuable or should I just open them? P.S. I found a 1943 S War Nickel in the colored rolls, still haven't opened the blank ones.

Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 03/31/2017 11:53 pm That is just probably the service that wrapped those particular coins. Might be all they had, in between sources of new. White and blue are stsndard for nickels, sometimes striped, at end or ends. I have had plain white on pennies, but not from banks here, another part of state. I'd open them, take note of the newest dates, sometimes you get the flavor" of when they were put up...if newest is 2014, might have been sitting around for a few years. The older the better, not so much new junk! Silver is GOOD! I get 2-3 usually per box...LOOK for the 2009P, that's really hard to find, keep every one!

Mark1959 Pillar of the Community 7234 Posts	Posted 04/01/2017 12:21 am Just my experience with the "generic" white rolls is not a good one. I got 20 white rolls of nickels that had a few blue stripes at the very ends and were tightly crimped on both ends . Picked them up from Chase Bank. Out of the 20 rolls I found ONE 1959-D and ONE 1968-S, that was it. THEE worst skunking I ever received roll searching. If ever I see them darn white rolls again I ask if they have any others wrapped differently in their back room, I've even had much better luck with the clear plastic wrapped rolls.

I opened about half of them and everything's normal, found a '41 and a copper '42 along with some 50's. I'm starting to think this was just a printing error. The one that was half white and half blue I opened and it just looked like it stopped printing the blue halfway through. Report this Post to the Staff

John77 Pillar of the Community United States 2910 Posts	Posted 04/03/2017 11:54 pm Aw... the infamous "albino" rolls... You run into those occasionally. Usually they come from Brinks in my experience. I've had pretty good experience with them so far. I've also run into "albino" cent rolls. CRH Nickeloholic. 1,600,000 nickels searched in eight years! Have found FOUR complete Jefferson sets! Edited by John77 04/04/2017 12:06 am Report this Post to the Staff
