[QUOTE="Rambunctious Raven, post: 3997742, member: 103932"]I purchased a few rolls from a seller that claimed rolls were legit OBW.

How else does a 2.5 gram planchet get tossed in a roll with coins from 30's 40's 50's as were in the rolls? Want to be firm on my suspicions before approaching the seller. Were any 2.5 gram copper planchets used for other Mint issues prior to 1958--maybe Philippines or? Thanks for any information members may provide. Cheers, Ed[/QUOTE]
