I only came across rolls of 2009 cents once this year. I bought 8 rolls and left 4 for others to have some. Then I sold 4 of them to the coin shop...

that, I am afraid is the beast that we call eBay... sorry it happened to you
oh, and it's not limited to any number, as many good rules as we can find. I just settled on those five. There is room for plenty more
collect89, while I can appreciate what you're saying I liked my format of just a simple 1 sentence rule and that's it. I wanted to outline the...
is that a huge die misalignment on the obverse?
