scubalou Valued Member United States 109 Posts	Posted 02/12/2019 09:26 am Good Morning: As I probably mentioned before I collected when I was a kid, and now in semi-retirement have decided to do some coin roll hunting. Long story short, I was going through my old collection and came across a roll of bicentennial pennies. My first thought is to tear it open and see what I've got, but then it's in the original wrapping. The wrapping says Bicentennial 1976. I can see the date on both enders, and they are both 1975. Curious, what would you do? Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/12/2019 1:26 pm First time I've seen this. But on the Bi-Centennial coins some denominations were not struck. Quarters-halves-dollars didn't have 1975 coins. Cents, Nickels and dimes did have 1975 coins. So unless the wrapping material was made/used incorrectly for cents, they may have over looked that. But as for a premium, I doubt if there were be any. Does the wrapper say cents on it? It may perhaps have been rolled elsewhere. The mint does wrap coins except for special issue. At that time the sent them out in bags. In 2001 they started moving them in pallet bags. When the mint has wrapped rolls they are more definitely marked. Sorry that is all I can think of on this roll. Report this Post to the Staff
Chase007 Pillar of the Community United States 7516 Posts	Posted 02/12/2019 1:53 pm The wrapper belongs to Bicentennial Quarters and it has been used to wrap these 1975Cents. It was not done by the Mint rather by a Third party. Let us see pics from the entire roll,I highly doubt anywhere on the wrapper says CENTS!

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74662 Posts	Posted 02/12/2019 4:40 pm MD stands for Machine Doubling, which is worthless very common doubling that carries no premium over face value. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
