A CWI box picked up today from a bank that Loomis services produced a very inbred box.
20 of the rolls (not shown), were LP-3, D's. 7 yellowed rolls are solid 1980 D's, 2 brown rolls are solid LP-1, D's and the balance are standard mixed date rolls!

Sorry about the focus - 1980-D's

Did you open any to make sure they were "pure" rolls?
That gives me hope if they still have BU rolls that go back to 1980 at the fed/whoever place! |

You just struck gold... err... Tin with that box.
I'd rather tin than copper. |

| My guess would be a bank had misc rolls and than they put them in the box and send them to loomis. Than loomis redistrubited the box. |

Yes, I opened one to confirm.
Tourney64 - yes factory sealed box.
By the way-
Is there any significant added value for these? Anyone here interested in buying them? |

TXTim...that is one cool box.
Even more intriguing to me is the way the roll wrappers are. I just don't see them like that here in Central Florida. I assume that even the brown or yellowish rolls are the type that you have to tear apart and are not reusable???
Congrats on getting some of the new pennies!
Continued success. |

| I have experienced this once with halves (yellow loomis wraps and black Brinks wraps). Silver amount was about the same, however. |

TXTim...Thanks for this post, I remembered and it served me well. This morning as we were pulling up to the grocery store I saw a Loomis truck and knew that they did NOT service either my bank or C/U. So, when my husband went inside to get a few items I asked that he stop at the customer service desk and see if he could get a couple of rolls of pennies. He was able to and they were the white rolls like in your picture.
These are the first two rolls of pennies that I have found that are like that. Haven't opened them yet but I did take a picture of the two rolls. Hopefully my eyes will be better tomorrow and I can open them and see what treasure await me!!!
Yippee!!! Thanks again for the post.
