Poll Question
I've been sitting on this box of BU 2010 D mint Shield Cents for a few days now trying to figure out what I want to do with them. I don't know if I should see if the local coin shop would give me some profit on them......or if I should just sit on them for a few years.....or offer them for sale here......trade some......I dunno. Sadly....I don't ebay so...not an option for me. I don't really know if there's enough profit to bother with......or sell the whole box, but I'm leaning towards just sitting on them for a couple of decades. I'm really not interested in making repeated trips to the post office and mailing 20 or 30 different envelopes containing one or two rolls to a bunch of people for zero profit.....been there done that....it is not exactly fun and a lot of work distributing all of that !Trades can be interesting though, but I just don't know what to do with these. SO....Vote please.

Moreover, set a price and let us know. I am certain these and the quarters will sell quickly.

I'm sure you could sell them here for at least 2x face. I agree the shipping is a pain.
Then again it's only a $25 investment to hold on to them.

You could also just set one day a week to go to the post office. Tell everybody you only ship on Mondays or Wednesdays, etc. I think everyone would understand. We've all been there.

I think putting them up on the CCF trade site would be great! I have enjoyed having my extra coins listed there. I have traded for tons of moderns that I wanted, trimmed out extras that I didn't want, met and developed lots of great trading partners, helped out some collectors who needed a coin or two, and all with relatively little effort. I never try and 'rush' things out either. It's a great forum.

I would sit on them for a few years although by then
they may be circulating freely and available everywhere.

Well the mint sells them for $8.95 for roll of P & D. If you wanted a quick profit, offer them to collectors for 3 bucks a roll plus shipping. If your buying from the Fed, you're getting them close to face. $2.50 a roll profit ain't a bad profit. One of my local coin shops is selling BU pennys for 3 bucks a piece.

Eaglefoot,
I just got a box loaded with BU 2010-p Shield cents. Have them in plastic tubes. I would be happy to trade you a couple of rolls if you need them.

I'm with Jim1953. I wouldn't mind trading a roll of P for D mints.

I had a couple boxes like that ... but were 2009 LPx.
I took mine to my local coin shop, he sold them for me on commission.
I think I got around $60 after he took 10%.

eaglefoot, I'm pretty sure that the "local coin" shop here has some already, but they might need more. And I'm finding them on the ground around town; even found one next to a gas pump in a town about 80 miles south of here. Just sayin' that they're not "rare" any more.

Hmmmm.....the poll results so far are interesting ! So, my order of a box of halves and a "replacement" box of Cents came in today at the bank. As I looked through the little holes in the box while driving down the road on my way back to the office, I noticed that they sure seemed AWFUL SHINY ! FOR PETE'S SAKE ! THEY'RE ALL 2010 SHIELDS A.G.A.I.N. !Now I have two full boxes of these .......  I can't seem to find a box of Cents that ISN'T all Shields now ! ...  By the way......I did check my local coin shop about this. He said he'd give me $30.00 for the $25.00 box. He says that they're just not hard to find anymore, and that they're coming in everywhere now. $5.00 profit wouldn't hardly pay for my gas to and from the coin shop !! Edited by eaglefoot
