A. When inside the alleged hand roll is a fed roll.


Stopped by a bank over lunch, after dumping at another bank. They had $3.50 loose halves (zilch) and $160 in loose hands rolls in the vault.

Two of the hand rolls had writing on them ("Circulated" & "Used"), and I opened them first. They each had a full fed roll inside the hand wrapper. Why ? Regardless between those two rolls, there was a '67 to be found.

The other fourteen rolls were, in fact, hand rolls and produced a 65, 66x2, 68d, 69d and an 04d. Seven keepers or a 2.2% keeper rate. I'll take that percentage every day.

And they did sell me 13 Ikes (all commons) as well.

Odd, though, why someone would stuff a Fed roll into a hand roll wrapper. Thoughts anyone ?

Strange-

-but maybe it was from a collection where BU rolls were segregated from ordinary machine rolled halves?
I have some older BU rolls that I put in plastic cases, wrapper intact.

Great for you by the number of keepers- Congrats!
Hope you find more.
