You could be right Ricardocody.
Someone could have used a rubber stamp on the rolls.

$20 per roll? Ouch man. I hate to say it, but I think you got ripped off there.
And while I hate to be a buzzkill, that 1917D has been polished to heck and back.

You got those off of ebay didn't you? I learned my lesson the HARD way(long story short I paid $179 for a roll. Won't go into detail as its to embarrassing and I should have known better.) Its cheaper just just to buy the keydates yourself. |

A roll of pre 35's (searched of course but still some fun) run me $7.50 at coin shows. They would clobber what you bought.
When I buy rolls from my local dealer he always lays out a mat so I can spread 'em out. I always know what I buying.
