    It's a promotional gimmick from one of the shopping networks.

    ok, so it sounds like there would be no harm in opening up and checking the coins then? I did go out and buy a red book but didnt see anything about that in there...maybe that was a clue

    thanks GDJMSP

    I have a roll of the same Lincoln Wheat Coins my mother received as a prize in the early 90's I think. Would like to know more about them. I haven't opened the roll but I am tempted.

    You would do fine opening the roll. There is nothing of value in the wrapping.
