Rolling change? Wow. I've never found one checking probably a million cents.
i've checked thousands of wheats, and late 50's cents have a lot of filled letters and numbers. It is fairly common and doesn't add much to the...

These 'VDB on the end' rolls are outrageous. Basically maybe 2 bucks worth of coins. Sheesh. I could retire....
It looks to me like it is a die chip, not a doubled S.
The original was cast also.

Poor Mike'scoins has a 96% feedback, this is a good way to bump it up a bit.
Recently I got a 'Budgood Bag' of wheats that was a very good deal. Wish I could afford another.
