Found this MS plated planchet in a BWR. Thanks for looking.

What's a BWR?

Never mind, it's gotta be a bank wrapped roll.

You are right but it isn't in our glossary so it probably is not the best term for what I get inside of the bricks I buy at my bank. Hopefully someone will tell me what is the correct term. Thanks for your interest!! Larry

On eBay I see OBW roll. Original Bank Wrapped roll. What was the year that was in the roll? Additionally, I don't think any major banks get bags of coins and roll them. Now most coinage is supplied by armored car companies. The two largest I know are N.F. String and Sons, and Loomis. There is a third company that is prevalent in my area but their rolls are blank so I can't figure it out. I may just ask at my bank.

Brinks? Maybe clear plastic shrink rolls?

Actually, I thing Strings and sons just make the wrappers.

I have never seen the clear plastic rolls in circulation. The ones I see are white with some decatorative lines at the end, no indentifying lettering at all.

Yea, they might only supply to the rollers.

Looks like they sell wrappers and machines and more but does not seem to say they do the wrapping.

Excellent find Larry... You come across some of the coolest coinage... That planchet is ready to be struck... Are the lines on both sides plating bubbles or roller lines from the rolling machine???

Which rolling machine? The one that rolls out the zinc core?(Not the one rolling the coins into rolls)
I think those lines result from the production of the zinc core.
Notice on the second image at the 7:00 & 8:00 position, about two-thirds of the way from the center, there are some incuse marks that would probably still be visible after being struck.
Interesting.

They would be from when they roll the zinc strip.
On some coins you can see them after strike especially if it has a flat area on the high points like shoulder or hair.

Great find Larry!! The second pic looks like there may be some very light design and lettering. It may just be ghost image though.

They look like roller lines to me Jim. Thanks for your interest!!
