If I can find a roll for a couple of dollars then I will try to pick it up. But like others, I usually go home and break them open and upgrade my collection and put them into plastic tubes so I do not ding them up at all. I need to go back and look though, for some reason I think I have about 10 rolls of 1960D or P's that I have not gone through yet.

Chris, you are a man after my own heart because I would love to do the same thing you are doing and have a roll for each year. I have been doing it with the Memorials as much as I can and need to double check what I have and make sure everything has a date on it.

If you don't break them open they are just a roll of cents .

I have never met a roll of cents I didn't open ! LOL actually I shouldn't say that , I bought 10 rolls of 90-Ds and opened all but two .

anyway I have almost never met a roll I didn't open .

by the way ,I was able to Identify three different reverse dies and two different obverse dies from the rolls I opened .

I have a BU roll set that is complete from 1950 to date. But I'm very slowly working my way back as I get them. Ive actually started working on the earlier Wheat cent rolls, from 5,000 count bags. I was surprised at the quality I'm finding, as well as the quantity. And I'm actually getting a nice chunk of some of the tougher rolls, that way.

I just brought Lincoln Cent OBW rolls for the following years at my local coin shop.
1957,1957-D, 1958 and 1958-D $10 per roll.

about a month ago at my coin club meeting I got the following Lincoln Cent OBW rolls all for $22 in our auction.
1973 - 2 rolls
1973-D - 2 rolls
1974 - 2 rolls
1974-D - 2 rolls
1976 - 5 rolls
1982 - 9 rolls
I thought that was a good buy.

I think $10 a roll is a great price. I was able to pick up 2 rolls of '58s on ebay for $23 and that's about as cheap as they go there. I got free shipping on 2nd roll or it would have been $25 for those 2.

This thread got me going on BU rolls. Received 7 rolls of LMC last week and they're nice but I'm gonna stick with wheaties.

I get a few rolls usually from the bank. Then search them and end up making a roll of dates by mintmark and just keep them. Later I go back through them for specific varieties. So the number keeps rising. Just like searching.
