This is sort of a hold over from tradition. Previously, all coins minted at Philadelphia did not include a mint mark. The "P" mint mark started being used on circulating denominations other than the penny in 1980. Rolls wrapped in clear plastic just mean that they were rolled by a different company. The US Mint purchased rolls have custom designed paper wrappers, N.F. String uses paper, I think Brinks still uses the plastic shrink wrappers sometimes. Because of the wide collector base for Lincoln Cents, I think there will always be some demand for the rolls. If you can get the 2009 Cents at face value, then you literally can't lose.

Living in saint louis MO. The 3rd series, profesional life pennies seem to be more easily purchased at banks being next to Ill. I purchased 6 rolls from one local bank and 2 weeks later got 6 rolls from another. But all of the rolls have no mint marks. I have purchased all three new series sets from the U.S. mint with mint marks. Can you tell me why these full bank rolls in clear plastic. Have no mint mark and where are they being produced then ? Are they worth collecting, are they going to have any value to them at all? RICH Hello another question.Thanks For the great responce last time! Living in saint louis MO.
