    These all look like rolls that a customer rolled and turned into the bank, change that was collected in jar or bottle over time.

    The fact that the oldest date was 2000 isn't a good sign. I hope the remaining rolls contain coins that were saved much earlier.

    Yep. The last cent box I searched I found 10 wheaties short of two full rolls! Good Luck. ;)

    I know everybody likes wheaties, but for variety hunters, the really expensive doubled dies are with the memorials.

    That's what they look like when I go through sealed bank rolls ... that I reroll and put back in the box after going through them including worn wheaties ... then bring them back to the bank.

    I think a lot of roll hunters can lattest to doing that.

    Good luck in your hunt.
