<p>[QUOTE="Uncle Herbie, post: 159368, member: 5191"]Apparently it was quite the thing to save cents by the roll for a while. You can find some pretty, red cents going relatively cheaply here and there from about the mid to late thirties on thanks to that fad. You can find them earlier but since people were saving them by the roll there are a lot more of them from that time. There seems to be a cut off date about 1934 or so where the price of a B.U. cent shoots up dramatically. It's kinda cool that they did that, you can get a set from then to now that look really nice for pretty much next to nothing compared to what it would cost for anything else from that time.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
