I have a question about the rolls of 2005 nickels I get from my bank. They are wrapped in plastic - I believe these are brinks rolls? Well, the teller told me that these are not uncirculated...I thought these would be still classified as uncirculated? Which is correct?
You can get uncirculated coins in change from the grocery store - or anyplace else for that matter. The definition of an uncirculated coin is one that shows no wear - period. So it doesn't matter if they are in Brinks rolls or not. All that matters is - does the coin show wear ?
The armored car companies get new coins from the mint, and old coins from their customers. Each box your bank gets is probably all from the mint or all from customers. The armored car companies normally wrap everything the same - either paper shotgun rolls or plastic rolls, depending on the wrapping office.
