<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 7436455, member: 15199&quot;]Damaged.&nbsp; So many still think that rolls are done at the mint whereas currently the cents are dumped into large ballistic bags of over 3000lbs and transported to the buyers that roll them for banks and other companies needing a large volume. So the coins are not nestled inside the bags protected from others, the ones on the bottom have thousands of pounds pressure on the poor zinc cents from all angles. The contacts marks such as these are from a rim edge hitting at the best angle to do so.</p><p><br /></p><p>Some ebay sellers offer&nbsp; roll wrappers that are purposely printed to look like the old bank wrappers , some even use a coarse paper you can rub the ends to appear old and original. Beware of thinking a roll is original due to the wrapper, the coins inside have likely been examined and good ones removed.&nbsp; Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
