I ask my girl at Publix for her rolls whenever she has one to spare. Got one today. When I got home I cracked it open to find all shiny 2019P. Is it possible for these to be uncirculated? They sure look good. Upon check a few out, they all have similar marks, cracks and soforth. I havent looked to try and match up any DD yet (at least real closely) because its going to take time and patients along with an honest eye on these. My camera hates shiny coins. I took a few pics for quick opinions. Does any of this look like more than just a worn die or machine doubling? The 12 or so I checked at random all had the same crack in the hairline and die crack on the corner of T on Cent on the reverse....same spots.
They look like....nothing outside magnification. So I was right I think somewhere down deep that they are normal. Is it possible to get uncirculated coins like this in that type of roll from a grocery store????
If they show no signs of wear then they are uncirculated. New pennies or coins for that matter, are not considered circulated just because they are in a sealed roll in a cash drawer. It's the condition that matters and determines the grade.
Yes! Some of the armored car services that get ballistic bags from the Fed roll their own coins, providing them to banks and retail customers. Chris
Thank you! I am going to carefully put these in one of my clear plastic amazon tube things. 40 years from now when Im star dust again, someone may appreciate that I stored them.
FWIW: I have a roll of Unc. 1974 and 1977 Cents that I put away at the time. After 40+ years, I don't think anybody appreciates that I stored them.
Funny you said that. I chose 40 out of the air because my Grandma set some uncirculated aside back then and I have them now. I should look closer through them one of these days.
Being that I opened it and have been sloppy with them here banging around on my desk...I will do you one better....I have to go to Publix here in a bit for ribs (giddyup), I will grab an unopened roll from my girl up there if she has one. I will PM you if she has one and I will just send it to you. Im not worried about 50 cents and some postage brother!
Thanks for the kind thought but I don't really mess with modern coins any more. Now that I'm retired I don't want to deal with a lot of bulky modern coins that most likely won't be worth anything when they hook me up to a ventilator.
