<p>[QUOTE="Kanderus, post: 1108318, member: 28447"]If someone can prove me wrong, please do because it will ease my paranoia! Although I have only pulled 3 silver pieces out of rolls in my short numismatic life-time I have noticed a trend. All 3 pieces came from what I believe they call Bank Wrapped Rolls. The style where both ends are rolled and the wrap is glued, and tightly at that. 2 for sure came from an N.F. String and Sons wrap where as the 3rd I believe was a different brand wrap but in the same style.</p><p><br /></p><p>I only bring this up because some of the rolls I get are either folded over, or are the clear plastic shrink wrapping. I have never found a single quarter, half, or dime when the rolls look like this. I know finding silver is getting rarer and rarer but I was wondering if anyone knows of any truth to my theory?</p><p><br /></p><p>Does the clear plastic represent pre-sorting and cherry picking? Does the folded over style, or "Customer Wrapped" represent dumping of skunks? I would like to think not, as I am always reading stories on this forum of a guy who gets told by a teller "Oh, someone just turned in $4 worth of halves!" and BOOM they are all Mr. Bi-Focal himself!
