What do y'all think? I found a roll of 1968s cents that I bought several years ago that are supposed to be "BU". These are in a "regular" type roll and I looked at the coin at each end. Think I should crack them open and look for any errors or defects? If so what should I look for? Thanks in advance for any insight into this matter.
Rest in Peace

Your coins, your choice. Remember you can't find what you're not looking for.

If you Google "1968 S cent errors" you will see a variety of errors including one struck on a silver planchet.

That year was the one of many for machine doubled problems. (68-70) But I've found a few interesting varieties on that year.

Even on a proof one.

The doubling you see on these images are places to look for doubling because the letters are larger/show a line from the first hubbing to the second hubbing.

Here is an example of Machine Doubling for that year. (first image)

So let us know what you find.
