I posted on another thread.
They are a lucky dip. There is nothing in place to make the coins in rolls all the same.  You may get all the same depending what was dumped into the rolling machine.
If you get a bunch of rolls that all show the same coins on the ends,  chances look ok that the rest of the contents are the same too, but once a batch of rolls is split up, you don't have that insight.

That is right. You don't know what you cannot see in security company rolls.
There ARE some mint rolls produced by the mint, specifically for collectors.  Those are only going to contain the same coins.
Security company rolls though, are a lucky dip.
