The biggest problem with obtaining high grade memorial cents is that dealers don't sell them. You will not be able to walk into a coin shop or show and look through coins to find what you want. They may have mint sets or possibly some rolls but they just don't like them so they don't stock individual coins. That makes is a HUGE challenge for collectors to find high grade examples. In all my years of collecting, this is the best one I've found. If you can find a nicer one in your rolls, you have a buyer for at least one!

I would suggest either selling the rolls as is or breaking them all open and looking for high grade ones. You would need a 67 or higher to make it worth the grading costs. Good luck whatever you end up doing!

Considering the lack of spots maybe there is a 67 or higher.

I reccomend opening them. Search for RPMs, highest grade examples, and toned coins.

Man, that's quite a jump between MS66 and 67. I would have never guessed high grade Lincolns could fetch such a price.

Went through 4 rolls very carefully and found 2 different types,1 with 3 small die chips on reverse and the other(majority) error free,no rpm's and while all ms even my untrained eye doesn't see any perfect 67 or better.
My friend who reignited my coin interest will be home this week from the fun show and I will have him inspect and report back.

update,never heard back from teller so I went there yesterday and teller said guy never came back so I bought $25 more dollars worth of customer rolled and she gave me 7 more of the same rolls she said were loose outside of box.I gave her a $20 as I was leaving and said thanks and she was so confused what for, I think no one ever tipped her before.Ive gone through 7 rolls of these and have found 2 rpm-006,so hoping for more,taking pics with shiny coins is rough but it has the die scratch behind the head.  |

Congrats on the RPM's.
Very nice teller.
Be careful about tipping though because the bank might have a policy against tellers accepting tips to avoid any conflict of interest. Treats, cookies, etc. might be ok but $ might be frowned upon.
Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.

That's a shame that you haven't found any gem grade coins. It further cements my contention that you can't just go buy rolls (or mint sets) and pull out MS-67 and up coins.
