[QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 1567911, member: 36230"]Likely salted, especially if a first-time buyer. Let someone think they will get something good and they will likely come back to get bit in the behind next time. Actually, there were some, even smaller banks (in our neck of the woods too) that did crimp rolls at least back to the early 50's. Such a thing is not necessary. Some of the guys who do this can crimp by hand much better than any cheapie machine or a String and Sons twister.
