Isledime New Member Canada 3 Posts	Posted 09/26/2014 3:40 pm I have some rolls of what looks to me like uncirculated 1985 pennies. If there were pointed 5 pennies amongst them, would they be randomly amongst, and is it worth me taking the rolls apart to look, or is part of the value of a roll having it in its original intact paper? Thanks for the help! Report this Post to the Staff

AgCoinAu Pillar of the Community Canada 3049 Posts	Posted 09/26/2014 3:52 pm I think there's a small premium to the pointed 5... but how could you have these rolls and NOT go through them... I would be dying to look over each and every coin... Report this Post to the Staff

Harmonica Pillar of the Community Canada 1118 Posts	Posted 09/26/2014 7:05 pm The pointed 5 came from die wear. The cents in that roll were not stamped out in order, they all fell into a giant bucket and were then rolled. If the first cent is a blunt it dosn't mean they will all be. What I recommend is keeping the best cent for yourself and selling the rest. Since pennies are cheap, terminal and have a bajillian varieties and errors they are my personal favourite set. If you crack it open keep us posted and take pictures. Report this Post to the Staff
o-train Pillar of the Community Canada 519 Posts	Posted 09/26/2014 8:31 pm The pointed 5 cents seem to sell really well on ebay. I have searched a ton of small cents and still haven't found one. I kind of doubt you would find a pointed 5 but a mintstate example would definitely make breaking up a roll worthwhile. Edited by o-train 09/26/2014 8:32 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Isledime New Member Canada 3 Posts	Posted 09/26/2014 8:38 pm Thanks Harmonica, that's exactly what I was wanting to find out. I'm new at this. I will take me a while to go through my rolls; ....my Dad saw the end of the penny coming 30 years ago and decided rolls of pennies were a good investment. Any advice on what to look for besides the 5's? Report this Post to the Staff

Buy an otoscope, some 2x2s and read about Hans Zoell & check out Coins and Canada. Use that site for info only, the price guide seem to be the result of a fever dream. http://cevna.com/articles/HansZoellBio.pdf http://www.coinsandcanada.com/coins...nt-1965-2012 Report this Post to the Staff
