<p>[QUOTE="Kevin Mader, post: 4158192, member: 106826"]Some banks would require their clients to put their name (and number) on the rolled coinage. Later, a bank associate would count the change to make sure the right amount of value was issued, or credit/debit the account. I haven't seen that for a long while now...mainly because banks have counters to use. </p><p><br /></p><p>Regarding your hoard, it depends on you. For me, I build Roll Sets by date/mm and have those in a plastic tube. As noted, floating loose in a bag doesn't offer the same kind of protection it would in a wrapper/tube/flip. You have common dates there, so what I find tends to happen is that someone sat on a roll for 40 years to find that their $.50 investment is worth about the same to an LCS. You have to find the certain kind of buyer (like me) who is building a roll set to draw any real interest. A common roll for those dates wouldn't have me spending more than a $1 a roll...so if you have an incomplete roll, I think our fellow enthusiasts have it right. Find the very best and put those aside (in a flip) and spend the rest. It sure is fun finding older coinage in such shiny condition. My littlest second cousin loves the 'shiny pennies'. Who could blame a 10 year old...or a 50 year old with the heart of a 10 year old. Good luck!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
