I wonder if ebay would be worth it after fees and shipping. That's a good idea about searching for errors and varieties, I just wouldn't know how to start...other than finding obvious ones. I do know I should be certain that each roll does have all 2017 Ps. Any pointers on what to look for as far as varieties and errors go?

I'd say open them and check for doubled dies and other cool things like clashes and die breaks.

Simple solution. I agree with spruett001.
Carefully, go through these rolls without banging the coins up and fingerprinting the coin surfaces and tube up rolls of 50 2017 P's. Try selling them here to members. I know you would have plenty of customers if you were reasonable and you would make a lot of these guys happy.

It's the right thing to do. Wilfred Brimley

mail187man doesn't have enough posts to sell here on CCF yet. Look for DDO,DDR,trails,large die chips and cracks.

I will go through them and check them out for errors. I will probably hold onto them for now and maybe when I get enough posts, I might offer them to you guys. I'm not sure if I will go the hard plastic coin tube route though. I may just put them in paper tubes as I go through them.

I think this was a pretty good snag from the bank, but at the same time I was looking forward to hopefully finding some wheaties I didn't have yet

I agree with what was given above. I would pick out the best ones and build quality rolls. I believe that there are enough roll collectors out there to make it worth your time.

So take the end roll one I have pictured above. I can already see that one has a small knick and a couple of spots on it. Would I toss that one back into circulation, or would it be worth putting into one of the rolls?

If it were me I would toss that one unless it turned out to be a nice error . Keep only the pristine no problem ones .

I'm starting to go through these now. It seems like each one either has a scratch, spot or both. I'm not sure if they'd count as BU at this point.

Keep in mind that even BU coins will have bag marks (coin-to-coin contact) and possibly spots from planchet rinsing. It will probably be difficult to put together many "pristine" BU rolls.

I would still consider them BU. Just pick the ones that have the fewest marks/spots. Or, just toss the ones that have heavy multiple marks and very distracting spots.

That I actually didn't know. Just goes to show how limited my knowledge is. Well I'd say so far almost all of them are BU with bag marks. Maybe I'm thinking pristine as if they would be a high MS grade?

I recently got 20 rolls of new bank-wrapped 2017-P cents.
I plan to put them away (along with any others I get) until later in the year (perhaps Christmas vacation week off), then search these forum posts to see what errors and varieties have been found thus far. Then I will likely search the rolls and then recycle them back into circulation while I await the 2018s.
That's my plan anyway (unless I get bored between now and then).

You'd be thinking correctly. I would venture to say that BU rolled coins like you have generally fall into the MS62-64 range. Those with very few marks/spots can go higher. That's why coin values jump dramatically over that. The likelihood that a coin meant for circulation will escape the dings and spots associated with more common BU coins is low.

Here is what I do. I put them in three categories, as to how many imperfections they have. After I am done I put the best in 2x2's, the 2nd tier in either plastic tubes or new paper ones. And the last tier gets put back into circulation.
