<p>[QUOTE="desertgem, post: 1600447, member: 15199"]There are dealers and even regular collectors who honestly do have unopened rolls back to the 1950s, and others have boxes of them from the 60s or 70s. Generally it will take a buy or 2 to confirm it is someone you want to use regularly, or check the feedback carefully to narrow them down, or ask around. The same is true for "bags" of wheat cents, there are several who have advertised on this site, and has impressive recommendations.</p><p><br /></p><p>Detecto is correct about the dealer you mention, no-one would roll such. Many of the end coins are defaced on the side you don't see, or are made into "Love Tokens", details shaved off and initials or details engraved, or reproduction fakes.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
