To get them out of my house! LOL.

No, actually, because I'd start them at 75 and hope they went up. It's just a thought I'm floating around; I'd have to go through them first, and before I even consider that I want to have a full roll of Capitols for myself. I'm only about 2/3 there.

The thickness of the roll would mandate 1st Class package rates which would be $2.29/roll without delivery confirmation. (and that's not including the packaging material costs)

So you would have to charge way more for the shipping than the product....and do you think there is someone out there that will pay over $3/roll for common change?

Sounds like CoinStar would be your best bet....

I have been roll searching looking for copper and so far I've searched over 70 boxes and have found approximately 500 2009 pennies with the presidential years being the least found of the 4 coins.

I'm setting every 2009 I come accross. Like some posters have said I agree that soon people will start dumping their hoardings and they will be more prevelant. However, they have the lowest mintage in total since the late 50's so I do feel that they may be a semi=key date and as such they are worth saving.

I try to get a roll of bu of every year and mm. Some may call it hoarding but I see it as adding to my collection that someday I can hand down to my kids and then they to their kids. Just think if one of your grandparents had done the same with wheats from the start. I've never really thought about selling my cents for a profit. The 2009 satin finish bronze sets are very hard to come buy around where I live. I've been trying to find one, my local coin shop said they had 1 a few years back and sold for 180.00$. I told them to keep an eye out for another and call me. As far as 2009 cents in circulation at least in my area they are all but gone. I may find one in bad shape in every box of rolls I search. My girlfriend is a pharmacy cashier and I've got her into searching her change at work and she finds more wheat cents then 2009 cents a week.

I find a decent amount in what I'd call "decent" shape--no spots or very light spots, no gum or hard candy sticking to them (you'd be shocked what I get in change), etc. Most weeks I'll bring home 10-20 of them, and, depending on whether we're near the top or bottom of the box we're currently working on, 5-30 wheats.

I don't really find any BU, but most of the ones I find are probably AU. I should probably just send them back into the wild, but given the shape some of the change I handle comes into, I feel bad doing that--the next time I see the coin it'll probably be covered in crap or bent in half.

I go through boxes of pennies and I've been getting 3-4 a roll, about a wheat every 2 rolls and after going through about 5 boxes of 2,500 pennies I found a 1907 Indian Head penny, in realy good condition.
