I have a 50 roll box of Homestead D's and am planning some renovations in the new house. Was thinking of wrapping it correctly and sealing it up in the wall for somebody to find 100 years from now. I think that is the way it will give me the most enjoyment. :) I feel in 2100's that will make somebody's day.
Go for it.

I have a few boxes, and do have 20 some rolls from the 1st day release in Springfield. I also hoard the mint set cents. I think the mint cent sets will do the best long term. Not going to be rich, but I hold what I like, as we all do to some extent.

Common coins will always be common ... I dumped my 2009 Lincolns years ago at face value.

There is IMHO no long term appreciation value for these ... unless you have some rare true MS gems at 67/68 or so.

Oober I agree about the mint sets. I think those 95% copper ones in the sets have fairly low mintages.

Not to mention that the Mint bungled the wash for the 95% coins, leading to pretty awful toning. I think that the ones that are still an even red will have the most potential.

I do have 40-ish rolls stashed of LP-1 and LP-2. Hoping to eventually run into someone who can do a trade without having to worry about shipping.

But the value spike for those coins ended years ago, sadly. I wish I still had a screenshot of the box of 2009 cents ($25) that sold for over $300.

Someone once said:

"nothing that was once common will ever be rare"

That applies equally to flint arrowheads as 2009 Lincoln cents.
