During our first year of BP (2015), we only minted the CJB mint mark. Before we released our 2016 coins, we had read about the hobby of coin roll hunting. We bought a few old one cent rolls and gave it a try ourselves. We were instantly amazed at all the little rare discoveries, and thought it might be a lot of fun to add a rare mint marked coin into every BP coin roll. That's the story behind the rare SN mint marked coins that we now hide inside every roll!

Here are a few of the coins we found in our coin roll hunting experiments, including a few indian heads, lots of old wheats, a mercury dime, some kind of old red plastic token, and two steel pennies!

Regards,
Chris

Really cool to see how the coins tone so differently depending on what type of environment they lived in.   Great photo and searching thru change for oddities can be both fun and rewarding.

It'll blend into the BP paved roads a bit.  Perhaps if there were a good contrasting release with which to pave.  Tongue  Where those silver pennies at?!

Maybe some war on fiat pennies, a la 1944 steel  Grin

If you have a 1944 steel penny they are worth around 100,000 USD as they are a rare error.  The 1943 penny was issued for circulation in steel, in 1944 they returned to traditional copper.

Well if its not an error coin who wants it  Roll Eyes  Whoopsie!  LC on top of everything.
