<p>[QUOTE="tommyc03, post: 3033645, member: 17665"]I have so many times seen how some like to save solid date rolls of coins in their original paper wrappers. I even know one person who is attempting every date and mint mark to save only in Loomis wrapped rolls. I can tell you in fact, that this is a fools errand. Paper rolls are not a good storage option long term for Zinc Lincolns. You cannot see inside the rolls and all it takes in one coin with a plating issue to start to bleed and infect the entire roll. Take my word for it. I have been working on rolls of 2009 cents since they were issued and already the infection is occurring. Even on some rolls of 2015 cents. While I am not saying not to collect your coins in any fashion you wish, I am saying that you will almost, with certainty, find a very nasty surprise somewhere down the road. Best to get them into plastic tubes so you can monitor any changes over time.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
