I'd open them and search the rolls. Just because I rull has a 1982 on the end doesn't mean they're all 1982's. If they're customer wrapped rolls, who knows what goodies could be hiding in there. |

I believe After a certain year the bank bags consisted of BU bank wrapped rolls . You can tell if they are copper or zinc by the weight of the roll In Hand compared to a roll of known copper Cents . Then just see if they are large date or small date . You'll be hoping for 1982 -P small date copper , Value : $15-$30 a roll . But Oct.21 tells me they are probably zinc .  |

To CCF! You can do whatever you want with the bank bag. You can etheir open it or keep it sealed. Another possibility is you can try selling it on ebay if you don't want it. Errers and Varietys.

I'd open it. Become a coin roll hunter. At least you'll know for sure what treasures may lay in wait.
I remember 1982 so very well. The stories where out in the coin magazines about the switch-over to zinc. I spent the first-half of that year collecting every single 1982 small date I could find, and was ordering rolls from the local bank as I knew they were still copper and figure they'd be worth money some day.
If what you have is zinc, expect to find zinc rot in some of those rolls. Some of my 1982 zincs have rot and nearly all of my 1983's have rot. Only way for you to know is to open and pluck out the good ones. Think of it as a preservation effort.

May as well open them and look. I remember there was a story about a Doubled Die in 82 but not sure which one. So many different ones made that year. Sure will give you something to do. |
