The wrapper is as interesting as what was inside.

    Does anyone know anything about this coin wrap?

    Anyways, bought one roll at the flea market... might've paid 18$ too much, lol, it was fun. Nothing any error obvious that I came across but yet some will still definitely fill in a blank in the circulated stuff. Don't know the key dates on Jeffersons but many were killed in the dryer anyways so...

    I like these clear wraps but many don't hold the full amount and don't stay closed.

    The list of what I got. Gonna bring it back to the vendor, maybe he'll cut me a deal on something greater, yes?

    Interesting finds! I thought the roll was older than 1994, but, still, you got a nice variety of dates.

    In the old days slot machines actually took nickels. It is just a wrapper from Harrah's Casino. The worth of the roll was in the wrapped coins from Harrah's unopened. The item was more of a souvenir than numismatic in nature.

    Unopened, yeah, that is what I guessed but, I couldn’t help myself, I think it would be like getting a ping on your metal detector and not digging. Same as the two full rolls 2005 D’s I got unexpectedly at the bank for face, I couldn’t help myself. I did save the Harrah’s wrapper if that’s any consolation, lol.

    The 1938S, 1939D, 1950D, 1951, 1951D, and 1952D are essentially the harder to find Jefferson nickels. Not to mention the 35 percent silver ones manufactured during WWII that are distinguishable by the large mintmark above Monticello.

    Oh, I think we all get opening the Harrah's roll. Two rolls of 2005-D what? Cent, nickels, dimes.....

    Buying nickels at the bank and she hands me two bank wrapped rolls of 2005 D. Didn’t find any spears. I found many gouges everywhere and I think some of them were very alike but, yeah, I haven’t yet gone back to pull the very few good ones out and check for other errors I guess.

    The oldest I have is a 1940 and kinda blackened throughout. It jumps to 1961 after that so, yeah gonna have to do some searching.

    I collect rolls of coins and will pay a premium for ones that have bank names on them, casino's or anything else interesting like that. They can be full or just the empty rolls. I'm sure someone in the world has the same like however I haven't heard of anyone.
    Nice roll! :)
