It's also nice when these rolls come from a non-collector, because otherwise, they having NOTHING of interest. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>TIP 2: Try credit unions.

There's nothing like finding a roll from someone cashing in their 30 year old cookie jar! You can usually tell how old it is within a few years by the latest coin it holds. Sometimes the wrapper is a give away.

My collections always try to keep three of each coin so that upgrading is a more likely and balanced process because it is usually easier to compare one to several instead of just one. This also helps make finding new rolls less depressing! Maybe Preston can keep a box of dupes for those beyond three to sell/trade to his friends?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
