It's the 651-700th last pennies ever to be distributed by the. Royal Canadian Mint, by last I mean not necessarily the last 650-700 pennies distributed my the Mint by date of selling but by a number that magically adds value to a roll of 50 pennies that without its special wrap and number would be worth considerably less. |

If he thinks they are rare and all melted,,, he should take a look in my basement. I have about $3000 of boxes of pennies waiting to be sorted!

This seller has had some crazy auction listing before - high COA's, double stickers, replacement and original numbered rolls, radar rolls etc...but this one takes the cake. http://www.ebay.com/itm/FAREWELL-TO...t_170wt_1399It's a NO NUMBERED COA. Wonder if you get the eraser thrown in with the purchase. Edited by CC-Ottawa

That seller has more than 1 rolls for sale. Something suspicious about them. Either way, stay clear of them. These rolls have been on ebay for months now. |

My corrupt mind is thinking of putting a #20000/20000 on that COA.

As many on ebay has noticed over the last few months regarding these rolls with no coa, or the two on a roll, the person with same # and replacement #, kind of tells you how legit the RCM cared about being accurate. Begs the question is roll #20000 really #20000? |

Call me cynical but as I recall the mint had a "rule" in place stating something like: "strick limit of one role per household", .If you cruise through the bay you find listers with multiple rolls with sequencial serial numbers. It takes some of the fun out of collecting when you see things like this. I'd say more but I'd come accross as being grumpy.

Believe or Not many people willing to pay high premium for the s/n to match their collection.
I was able to sale my 2 rolls with s/n 12xxx for $110 each.

I purchased a role when they came out but I didn't see it until last month, when I went back to Canada for the summer (I live in China). It was number 19945 (I think, or something close to that number). I jokingly thought to myself that I could get a premium for it on ebay due to its relatively high number. Didn't think that it was true. |

$3000 in pennies is about 1650lbs which should yield 550-700lbs of copper cents. Potentially more if they were taken out of circulation years ago. Probably more than a few interesting errors/varieties in there. On another thread a member from the US spent almost $200 for 3 boxes shipped on ebay...something to think about. I saw one of the members here has 2006 magnetic logo pennies in circulated condition listed at $4.99 (with offers). Penny fever is in the air. I personally wouldn't pay more than a couple bucks for one of the last million penny rolls. No interest in them at all. |

Steven Bromberg of CC&C was on the Coin Show tonight offering 10 rolls of 2012 zincs for $89.95 and 10 rolls of 2012 steels for $189.95. Not the last 20,000 rolls, just regular rolls, but I think this is less than what he was charging a few months ago. Maybe he's worried he's going to be stuck with boxes and boxes of overpriced pennies.

The coin show rolls of 2012 pennies are exactly the same coins as the so call last 20000 rolls or that you can buy at any coin show for around 5.00 a roll.
