I will start by saying I have made some GREAT finds in both customer wrapped pennies AND brinks rolled boxes. I have a tendency to get a few more wheat and S mintmarks from the Brinks rolls but some of the better older bu memorial cents come from the customer wrapped rolls.
I will also add that I think more and more people are using coinstar machines rather than taking the time to wrap coins up. As a whole we Americans are generally lazy and paying 9 cents per dollar seems reasonable to a lot of people who are just getting rid of all of that "spare" change. This is what has allowed us to find some of these really great items in bank rolls. If the customer had been rolling the coins individually they would catch that something was "different" in a lot of the coins they are turning in. Sincerely, John Leckrone
