The first roll I opened had (7) older pennies included with the 2008's. I have never seen this before? What is up with that?

I have no idea how these are controlled or even how you determine if the rolls a solid date rolls.
Was this a sealed box? Do all the end coins show 2008's?
P's or D's?

Bear in mind these coins come from the mint in big tubs. They go to armored car companies that actually do the rolling. So you have no gaurantee of a solid date brick

I will open another roll, P.S. these rolls are tight >>
Just because the rolls are tight, does not mean they are original...sealed bricks usually are, but just keep that in mind if buying single rolls.
I can spot a hand job roll a mile away

<< <i>Might have already been searched, put back in original rolls. The older pennies were to replace the double dies that YOU should have gotten.
Nope...I would bet big bucks against that.
As mentioned by BigE2, they are just put in bigs tubs. Sometimes, some cents get stuck and come out when it is refilled, or, others are just poured in.
I talked to my bank about this a few years ago and they said that, aside from the state quarters (and now, the prez bucks), it is a total crapshoot on if the whole roll is the same or not. They can't order them "pure".
So, when it is "new coin" time, a lot of times, you WILL get solid rolls, but other times, you will have a few that aren't and that are mixed in.
I've seen this on cents and nickels so far (seldom get the dimes)
I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

Weren't left over in the bin. Like I said coins were searched and put back in original wrappers. If you look at one end of the rolls VERY carefully you will see that it was re-crimped. I believe they even have a tool available to do that. I've searched over 200,000 new coins and always put them back in the original roll, re-crimp, put back in the brick, tape it up, mark it "searched" and return it to the bank. It much more convenient to push them out one end and drop them back in. I've re-crimped so many by hand that they look like they did when I pulled them out of the brick. That's why I mark the brick "searched" when I return it. By the way, never return the brick to the bank that sold it to you - they don't like having to dispose of it (It's a searcher of new coins courtesy thing).

<< <i>This is very common. The armoured car services that wrap the rolls aren't necessarily interested or motivated to assure that rolls are solid date. Their job is to get the coins to the banks for commerce purposes. >>
This is what I was told by the Loomis rep I contacted that supply my bank. When I seen the sealed boxes going for 3 times face on Ebay I thought I need to get some of these.
The rep told me coins are dumped into large bins feeding the roll machines. They said the new coins delivered from the mint are mixed with the coins picked up from local banks and business locations they service. Based on that info alone I would never pay more than face for a roll of anything recent. My boy called me when they received their change order and said he had a full box of "bright" pennies. So I grabed a box from the closet and exchanged it.
Better get it on Ebay before they lose their premium
I thought it was pretty strange.
