Who knows what you are going to get in machine wrapped rolls. Yesterday in a *sealed* box of nickels i got a penny. In MWR of dimes i sometimes get the very think British Pence coins. It seems like there are a lot of types of coin rolling machines, and some of them just put whatever fits into the roll.
 

1908 but it is not a fatty one.
 

I've gotten 2 so far this year. Both were in the reject bin and from different branches. one was an 1859 with a hole in it. The other was an 1862.
 

The fat ones were not indian head cents they had a different design...

I was blessed with a Fatty Indian Head. I let my wife touch and feel when she feels the need to.
 

By "fat" Indian head, I think they mean the ones from 1859-1864 with the copper-nickel alloy composition. They are thicker than normal bronze cents.
 

I got two in a customer roll of pennies that contained 55 IHCs a couple years ago. Never found one in a machine roll but have found a few of the bronze IHCs in them.
