I want to search for an error, variation or a really choice example of that coin with that date and mintmark.&nbsp; (See #2 above).</p><p><br /></p><p>If you are worried about OBW rolls being wrapped in paper and that the paper may contaminate the coins, then you are in between a rock and a hard place.&nbsp; Once you take them out of whatever packaging they were in, they are no longer OBW.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
