Message:: [QUOTE="Pennycase, post: 20456, member: 1141"]I suppose it would be quite possible... If the nickels were kept UNC in a roll for so long, depending on what type of roll it was in IE paper roll, plastic, or some other form, the coins will get jumbled around, especially the ones that are on top if contained in a plastic tube, because if they are in their tight, completely to the top, whenever someone goes to twist that cap, one side of the coin is being rubbed onto another coin causing wear, this may be the case for even a whole roll of them, depending on how many times the person who originally had them, has taken them out, and put them back in, placing a differant coin each time on the very top, and again twisting the cap, and rubbing it against another coin, everytime this happens, not just the one coin is getting that wear from the twisting of the cap, the other one as well is, it would not take long depending on how many times they were takin out and put back in, for a complete roll to show wear on at least one side of the coin, while the other is far better, that's why some people use split grades IE MS-64/63 or something along that nature, while this is not widely accepted, I do on some cases place split grades onto coins, and if the coins you are talking about show this wear, they are not BU coins, and shouldn't be bid on as BU coins, if you can see the wear on it, bid accordingly and with caution.[/QUOTE]
