Final update. Or at least the "I've finished opening all 50 rolls" update.
1907 Indian.
1972 DDO #3.
Seven wheats, 1941-58.

I sorted 1959-63 into individual stacks.
1959x5 ... Dx28
1960x1 ... Dx20
1961x2 ... Dx29
1962x1 ... Dx32
1963x7 ... Dx27

Of course I sorted out all the S-mints.
1968S x3
1969S x9 - plus one special coin shown below. I am still working on better pics.
1970S x9 - hoping one of these might be a small date.
1971S x10
1972S x4
1973S x4
1974S x9

I sorted everything else from 1964-81 into two-year tubs. The fullest was 1976-77, so I sorted those out to see what was in it.
1976x33 ... Dx140
1977x36 ... Dx137

And the return stuff:
One dime, and exactly 200 zincs, confined to 5 or maybe 6 rolls of one wrapper type.

Okay, now for the pictures. This first one is just machine doubling - pretty sure - but when it happens on a coin with the date and mint mark combination of a famous variety (you know, one which has sold in the six-figure range), you look twice. You know you do. Doubling is visible on BERTY, the back of the portrait, 196 and the S.

And now for the Indian. I've seen better, haha. But it makes a total of two I've found in my entire history of sorting. And I've been doing this for decades.

Last pic for now. A couple of special wrappers.

Still trying. Here's some better pics. Well, not much better.

Machine doubling, but could still be a repunched mintmark, right?

Very interesting find, those wrappers are kinda creepy.
