Nothing special about any of them except one has the mint mark (s) touching the number 5 in the date. I've not seen that before, but understandably since they apparently were putting the mint marks on the dies by hand back then, correct? A few I found had chips in the dates (common).</p><p> </p><p>Outside of that, nothing stand out. Interesting that all of the pennies in the roll were minted in San Francisco. Old circulation wear. Probably sitting in someone's drawer for decades and then rolled and brought to the bank. The guy who gave them to me said that his boss had gone to the bank and bought a bunch of rolls to all coins (dimes, quarters, nickels and pennies) to replenish the coins on hand for change. One of the penny rolls so happened to be all wheat pennies. I just find it fascinating that they were all minted in San Francisco.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
