I would open and search every roll. What a great binge weekend you have before you.

I would check a few rolls to confirm that the roll marking = the roll contents and then box them up and concentrate on any older coins. Good luck

Certainly the pre-1955 rolls should be checked even if for just nice AU's. I don't see much point in opening the late-date rolls.

Me, I'd check the D and S mints for RPM's and for major DDO DDR. Just how deep into the error field is up to your eyes and patience. Grandpa most likely didn't get nitpicky over Cuds, cruds or cracks (as I call em), most collectors knew little of those and not much info was around til 90's on.  Was drooling over those 56D rolls...  |

Wow! That is a lot to take in.  I would definitely enjoy the journey, no matter how deep I dove into it. |

Wow!! What a task indeed.
My eyesight isn't what it use to be so there is no way I would tackle
every roll but I might try a few to see what I found and sell the rest.

I put these aside into ammo cans until I can finish sorting through the loose stuff... I do plan to go through every coin I have... it'll just take time. The small size ammo cans work perfectly for holding rolled pennies!

It looks like grandpa had a labor of love.....Hopefully you will inherit that feeling when searching through the coins!

If you go through them one at a time, you're gonna be awhile
