Dilemma Of Searching BU Rolls Or Circulation Rolls Opinions

Thank you ace_ftw, I did wonder about that but didn't look too much into it, since the beginning of summer I was finding all kinds of pre-1960's coinage but just this last month I noticed a very big increase of newer coins being found in the rolls. I may just have to bite the bullet and order a box if my penny fever gets bad enough but if and when I did decide to I was hoping someone might know a place where I would find such box in un-searched condition. I see ads on ebay all the time and as tempting as they are I also know better than to believe someone with a mass stock pile hasn't taken a look already.

I just dont know why they jack the price up so high for a box, I get they are trying to make a few extra dollars but $60/$70 for a $25 box PLUS shipping is just a little too wild for me. If I could get them and were to sell them like they do I would be selling them for $35 plus shipping and I'm sure would be making money all day long, 14 pounds a box at around $30-$35 for shipping maybe less depending on discounted shipping Domestically with a total of $65-$70 for a box (all in with shipping included) seems more fair.

I do know a well known high end antique dealer that sells coin rolls of older denomination that are apparently un-searched but the question is, are they really un-searched lol. Even then he wants $5 up to $150 (key date/known for errors) for a roll of pennies depending on witch denomination and condition you want witch isn't all too bad even with the shipping.

oriole, I would prefer purchasing from someone on the CCF over a random ebay seller no questions asked, I would also be interested in "partially searched" coins depending on the circumstances and price but I would only take this into consideration from a seller that is a member here. I wouldn't purchase partially searched rolls from a random ebay seller. So keep me in mind if you decide to get rid of some of those rolls.

There are tons of BU 1-cent rolls are out there, 1962 and newer....

There are still banks that will sell you pennies maybe they aren't supposed to but I think some are glad to get rid of them so they don't have to deal with them I just picked up 165 rolls last week. but I never return them to that bank so it works out well. Just keep trying until you find one that will. I stop at every bank I see when I'm travelling . Good luck

So I went to my bank today and after having a long conversation with the teller I ended up walking out with ALL the pennies they had! (only a few rolls) I live in a small town so I didn't expect as many as I got but at least I found a nice 1976 clipped planchet in my first roll!

oriole, I don't think I will ever get sick of pennies, especially after the hoard I managed to get my hands on locally, 1st roll I got a nice clipped 1976 and than 2nd roll a I got a 1921 one cent penny! , I also grabbed a box of nickels today and I got a full roll of 1967's in BU original bank roll, they also gave me the pennies that got brought in this morning I got a good feeling about this batch!

JW, I'll PM you and see if we can work something out. I have endless unsearched rolls of US cents here (unsearched by me at least, lol) and I'm willing to help you out.

Hi John. I just checked my BU rolls of 1959 nickels, and you can see what I found. I just posted it somewhat above your post. Keep looking at the BU stuff. Bill.
