Edited to add, you may want to invest in some plastic roll holders for the rest of the rolls you don't use once you have gone through them if you do open them.
I usually also lose money because of it.
Maybe they wrapped them before rapping them, so they're probably still okay.

Better go through these.

it seems like you'd have to open them. you don't know what you might miss! could be reds in there, could be high grade in there! if they're real nice, you could cherry them and send off to TPGs if worth it!!

Bank wrapped, not raped. Big diff. there.
"Auto, Coinwrapping Mach Corp, NY
Batdorf Patent March 2, 1915"
These wrappers were used at least into the mid-1960s. Do you have images of the end coins?

Remember, most date stamps back then were the roll type that could be adjusted on a daily basis. My grandfather ran a grocery store and these are the types of stamps he had to price items with, you just roll through 0-9 and set the price. I'm sure you all know what I mean.
I would have to open them myself

As others have advised, be *very careful* when opening and searching those, even a small fingerprint could have a devastating effect on the value of an early full-red cent.

Way cool if the coins are MS examples from the teens. However, the paper roll could have been used in the 1950's to roll some 1958D cents. Only way to tell is to look at the other end of the roll to see if an obverse is showing with the date; or to open the roll.
Please let us know what you do and what coins are in the roll.
BTW, nice pink color on the finger nails, every once in a while my wife paints her nails pink. Looks good on her.
Specifically, U.S. Patent No. 1,130,246 issued on March 2, 1915 to a Mr. Charles Batdorf, and assigned to Automatic Coin Wrapping Machine Co. of NY, NY.
So anyone care to predict whether the rolls are filled with MS Red Lincolns from the teens or from the 40's and/or 50s?

Well, a collection that had taken 2 years to go through, could be anything! I love threads like this, thanks for sharing, and dark toned isn't always a bad thing
Unroll the oldest, let see what ya got!!!

That was my first though too.

The coin pictured looks a little brassy for shell case, no?

It's just a guess, anyhow - but weren't shell casings made from brass?

1. has been tied up with other things;
2. has had technical diffculties;
3. enjoys seeing interested forumites dangling in the wind with anxious anticipation; and/or
4. has opened the rolls, found them filled with circulated or uncirculated wheaties and memorials from the 40's-60's and is embarrassed that no pictures of MS wheaties from the teens can be posted.
Regardless, I need (well, "want" is more like it) an update.
Keep em coming!
