SUMORADA

MadMarty

Must have been rolled by Brinks...

Obviously these are mint error's and should be sold as such!

I mean, someone at the mint located a 1968-S and a 2000-D obverse die and made these in total error!

Yer sitting on a nice retirement nest egg there Eric.

I'd guess that the operator of the rolling machine
found two error coins, and replaced them with
these two.....

Last box I looked at, Brinks, had at least 10-15 older coins mixed into every roll. Even found a few wheats in there....

Hey Fred!! Is he on your Payroll???

I agree with Fred, Sounds like a good explination to me.

My dad knew the head of the counting room for the Illinois tollway many years ago. The coins were stored in super long tubes as they were being rolled. For years he would look up and down the edge of the tubes for silver coinage and replace it with coins from his pocket. He used to get a minimum of $25-$50 a day in silver, this was in the late 70's and early 80's. To cover his expenses he would sell enough to replace his out of pocket costs and keep the rest. Then they fired him for theft? Go figure.

That's not theft. Sounds like grounds for a lawsuit unless his contract forbids what he did.

Whats the scoop on them taking the coins? legal for them to do if they switch the coin?

I'm not an attorney, but I'm guessing that waaaay too much time has passed for that to happen.

I had the same thing happen with "new" 2006 rolls a couple of years ago.

It wasn't theft BUT it does sound like he shoulda CYA and asked for an official "OK to do" first.

I nearly got canned from my job in college at a liquor store for switching coins from the till. I'd pulled out a war nickel and replaced it with a nickel from my pocket. The owner pulled me off the registers, took me aside and said if he ever saw my hand go from his registers to my pocket again he'd fire me on the spot. From then on I'd put any silver aside and save it for his son.

Looking back he was entirely justified, the money in the till belonged to him and wasn't mine to swap. Besides, as a college kid working at a liquor store, there was great incentive not to rock the boat too hard.

Sumo, with your track record, you should have a closer look it probably is DDO.

The policy's for 'counting rooms' vary with each one.

In the past, I've dealt with those that are allowed to switch normal coins for errors with no problem,
& those that can switch normal coins for errors, but must split the 'take' with the supervisor.
(could be the day Sup or the night Sup, depending). I'm sure some switched without any knowledge
of the Sup, but I seriously doubt any of the just simply 'stole' the errors without replacing the
face value back

Each situation was different.

In the past 7-8 years, all the counting/rolling rooms are supposed to RETURN all of the
errors they find BACK TO THE MINT, as part of the Mint's policy. Some do, some don't,
and some used to 'cut' the errors, but I've seen less and less of those over the past few years.

Many years ago I was a toll collector on the Garden State Parkway. An interesting job? Not really. But I did find a few neat cons. One I remember was an 1865 three cent nickel...probably in circulation as a dime.

One old timer though....had two buckets in his locker. That was the silver he 'exchanged' with his own money from tolls taken. We all knew he was doing it, including the district supervisor. No one minded at all.

Being from the 60's generation, the term "rolling machine" does not bring up mental images of coins for whatever reason!

Hey Fred did I miss your giveaway for making your 1000th post?

Outhaul

Those are the 2008-D 1968-S variety and the 2008-D 2000-D variety...verrrrrrrrry rare.
