So Go To The Bank Today...

I hope there is at least one key date in there and S-mints-o-plenty.

This is what makes roll searching so awesome! Like a box of chocolates - "you never know what you will get."

I live on the West coast and recently received 50 rolls of cents in old wrappers labeled "Virginia Common Wealth Bank." These had to be rolled on the East coast in 1981 (most recent coin found) and then hauled all the way out here to Washington and finally dumped for face value thirty years later? While I only found a few wheats and a ton of Philadelphia coins, strangely this lot was loaded with Denver mint RPM's, including a 1960-D RPM#1 and several 1959-D RPM#1's. Nearly every D marked coin was an RPM of some sort. Strangest pick up I've had in a while.

I hope your haul turns into a jackpot and I will certainly be waiting for an update! Best of luck!

1973D and 1974D have nothing known that would warrant busting a bunch of rolls just to look for something. And they wouldn't be 'errors' - they would be 'die varieties'. Nobody ever knows whether errors will or will not be in any given date because of the nature of how they are made. Die varieties, on the other hand, are a lot easier to track - yet another thing that makes them NOT errors.

There are a couple of decent 1973D repunched mintmarks, but they are rather difficult to locate. I buy 1973D and 1974D rolls at $1 each.

Well, still better than rolls of corroded Zincolns.

Thats a decent find. Better than getting rolls of zincs. You had use all drolling though. That is why I love coin collecting.

Original rolls on ebay in quantity bring bid+. Single rolls, or maybe ten rolls at a time, should bring a premium. I suggest ten, to cut down on pro-rated shipping cost.

Heck, they are pure copper. I bet they are pretty.

No Lincoln Cent is pure copper. These are a 95% copper alloy. which is something that a LOT of people forget when keeping these things for their melt value. There's always a rather large expense in separating the copper from the 5% zinc these contain.
