<p>[QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 1827369, member: 36230"]To the best of my knowledge, individual banks rolled their own wraps, and almost always stamped their name on them. I've never seen a roll from that time that could not easily be opened (as this one surely and clearly can) and resealed. Given, I've not seen every type of every kind, but 6-8 years ago I was very fortunate to have been given access to a large collection of genuine original rolls, mostly from the 40's and 50's, including a number of war nickel rolls, and not one looked like this or had coins with that kind of toning (which I find HIGHLY questionable on its own) on the ends. Not one of the rolls in the entire collection, or the few I've had before or since, had the date/mint stamped on them either; on every one it was hand written.</p><p><br /></p><p>I cannot say for sure what it is you have, but going only by my experience, I do not believe it to be an original roll, bank wrapped or otherwise. For your sake I do hope I am wrong, but from what I can see, there is no way that I would even consider touching without a peek inside.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
