That is a great find.
How did it end up in a roll, I wonder. Did someone's collection get turned into the bank?

Wow! Great find. Maybe it was from someones collection that got turned into the bank. Maybe go back to that bank and ask for the rest of their pennies. They may have more coins from that collection there.

Wow, so nice and clean, but typical condition for something we might roll searching.

Were there 50 coins in the roll?
