Heres another roll that I got , it had 2 layers of paper around it with yellow tape on the ends , I have 10 of these rolls of 1962 cents , I guess this is what you would call an "original roll " ?
Now wait a minute, this roll had an outer wrapping of paper and it had tape on the roll wrapper itself and you not only think the box was unopened but that the roll is original as well ? Rather obviously some individual put the tape and the extra paper around that roll. That in itself tells you that the box was opened. And it very strongly implies that the roll was opened and then re-rolled with the tape to hold it closed. Exactly how do you define original ?
It had an "inner" layer of paper GD , pm with a mailing address and I will send you a roll of these to look at for yourself and you can keep the roll.
Appreciate the gesture pupa but there is no need. The coins were obviously rolled by a private inividual and not any bank or any company that distributes coins to banks. The tape and the paper prove that.
I'm not saying that these rolls are original or suspect, but remember that up until about 6 years ago, the mint shipping pennies in $50 bags. It was private companies that handled the rolling. Just because the vast majority of banks contract to cash handling services to roll their coins, doesn't mean that other banks didn't do it. Banks were free to purchase whatever materials they chose and roll them however they wanted. While I would admit that the tape makes it suspect that the rolls have been searched, I wouldn't jump the conclusion that they are not original on that basis alone.
I would tend to agree with Doug. Why would a coin rolling company use two layers of wrap? My guess is a collector got them the year they were minted, went through them, then double rolled them and taped the ends to keep them sealed. If your 53 roll was sealed in the same way it would make me wonder a little more? I cannot see a collector re-rolling errors like that and storing them away never to be profited from. They are nice looking cents and love the color!!! Thank you for showing these different rolls, they are great to look at!!!
PM me with your address and I will give you a roll of the 62 cents so that you can see how they are wrapped , I would like for someone else to look and give a thought or two on the wrap.
Stay Tuned to this channel , someone else will have a roll of these in hand by Tuesday to confirm or dispute my claims that these are OW`s
Ya know---10 people could say that these are OBW rolls....but that would only go to show one thing...that 10 people can all be wrong about the same thing. As it has already been said---the double paper, and tape go to prove that these were NOT wrapped by a company. Speedy
How do you get a layer of paper,kind of like wax paper or paper you would find in a gift box,wrapped around a roll INSIDE the penny roll?The name on the roll is "John H. Harland Company" and the name on the box is "The CJ Fox Company PROV. R.I."
Let me put it this way... I know a guy who use to wrap his rolls in wax paper, and then in the normal coin wrapper....this was said to keep the coins nice and RED and not let them tone or change to a dark brown. The name on the roll means nothing....when it really gets down to it.....a name is a name... Speedy
And it also says on the box - Mailing Box - which indicates that the box is an off the shelf item purchased to mail things in. pupa wrapping your rolls of coins in wax paper, or even aluminum foil, and then inserting the wrapped roll into a normal paper coin roll is something that a lot of old timers used to do. They did it to try and keep the coins from toning, especially cents. There was a time when it was quite common. Now you can believe whatever you want to believe, but I have told you the truth. You have a bunch of nice BU rolls there, be happy about it. The paper wrap indicates the coins have been untouched for decades.
You are 100% correct , I checked with the "ole timer" that I got the rolls from and he said that he did the double wrap and then stuck them in a box for safe keeping.
Where do you find these coins in rolls that are BU. Did you get these from a bank, or from your dealer?
