Trying To Sell Pennies

The face value of your rolls is $210. If you advertise on ebay that you have 420 rolls, 1919 foward, and ebuyers believe you havent searched through the rolls for key dates, ebuyers may end up bidding as much as 1.50 to 2.00 (even 2.50) for each roll, if you sell them in lots of 50.

A lot of 50 rolls at 1.50 per roll would gross $75; three times face value.

The entire lot, sold at 1.50/roll would gross you $315.

Then again, if one of your lots is 50 rolls of post 1958, you may only get .75 to 1.00 per roll, unless there are rolls of collectible years.

And then then then again and again, you risk, at auction, selling the rolls at or below face or numismatic value.

Your math is still messed up, 420 rolls times $1.50 = $630
50 rolls times $1.50 = $75

Basically all has already been said. The primary things for you to note are DO NOT CLEAN COINS.
Next purchase a Red Book on coins so you have an idea of what you have.
Next open all the rolls to inspect what they are. The Mint did not roll them so you may have almost anything in those rolls.
If you sold those without looking you may well sell a coin worth thousands for a few dollars. Know what you have.
If you look at ebay, for example, there are numerous individuals saying UNSEARCHED something or other. So don't worry about searching what you have.
I suggest you sort those by date, mint mark and then grade (condition) or at least your idea of grade. The reason is there are numerous types that were not well known when he started collecting them and may have inadvertingly put a valueable coin in with average ones.
Note such things as the 22Plain, rather expensive 24D and 31S, 36 double Die, 43D Doubled Mintmark, various 60's, 70S's, etc.
Watch for any coin that appears as if you had to much to drink, doubled.
Now with the famous Red Book on coins, pages 390 and up, you could find a listing of the different types of error coins. These are further detailed on https://www.coppercoins.com
Good luck and keep us all informed.

Odds are good you have some valuable Lincoln's somewhere in there. You can't just go by the date and mint mark, you have to consider the condition too....it's called "conditional rarity". First thing you need to do is buy a Red Book. While the prices in there are not very accurate, they will give you an idea of value and help you understand the grading aspect. NO MATTER WHAT....DO NOT CLEAN THE COINS! They will actually make them nearly worthless to collectors.

Click on my name and send me an email. Perhaps I can help you.

I dont belive all are uncirculated because not all are in bank rolls. Probably 30% are. Is there any thing special about 1966 I have 50 bank rolls of 66.
