I buy and crack open a lot of OBW Memorial rolls, found this in the MIDDLE of a VERY TIGHT, solid-date 1982D roll. I had about 10 of these same OBW rolls with different dates, they were all of exceptional quality....this is the only one that had a circ coin in it. Somebody's idea of a joke? IT'S A 1969-S! I hoping it was the DDO, no such luck. LOL  |

Yes there is.....on top of it shouldn't have been in there. The 1969-S is on of the harder coins to find in circulation.

The companies that roll coins just dump whatever they have into the hopper. It's likely that they thought the hopper was empty (or near empty) so they reached over and grabbed a new bag of coins and dumped them in.
Remember that the places that wrap coins are not making a collectible...they are simply wrapping coins. Most of the facilities that wrap coins for the banks not only wrap the new ones, they also wrap used coins sent in by the banks.
Finding a circulated coin in the middle of a bank wrapped roll is not too uncommon. Of the thousands of bank wrapped rolls I have opened, over a hundred had at least one circulated coin inside.

Obviously you've opened a lot more rolls than I have. Thanks for that tid-bit! |

I had alot of 1995 FED rolls that were right out of a sealed box and almost every one of them had about 3-5 circulated random dates. Some were complete 95 but I was scratchin my head for sure! I still have 2 more of the 95 FED rolls left that was going to off on ebay BUT thats all I would need is someone that didnt know any better to leave me a bad feedback becuz there is circulated coins in with them!!...

Gothic Florin, do you need a 1969-S? I got a few if you need one. Just email me.
Oh yeah, it's free, just send a SASE and it's yours.
