I have made some of my most amazing finds in these rolls over the years!</p><p><br /></p><p>A whole lot of the coins in these rolls that I&#039;ve opened seem to have a fairly generous coating of mostly dried very very old grease or oil. Xylene and alcohol takes care of it nicely...</p><p>But I&#039;m wondering if any of you are familiar with this practice of greasing pennies?</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve been opening rolls since the 70&#039;s...these are the only rolls I&#039;ve ever had with the seemingly greased coins. I don&#039;t think it&#039;s an oil since none of the old wrappers have stains or indicate that there are many greasy coins in there. According to the seller, 20+ years ago, the rolls were made in the late 50&#039;s and early 60&#039;s by his Mom who worked at a bank for many years.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
