Need Pennies Rolled

That's a lot of pennies, have they been searched?

I purchased a rolling machine in Wal-mart for around 30 bucks and you can get penny rolls from Dollar Store pretty cheap. Will take some time with that many pennies but may be your only options.

If you are going to sell as copper then definitely sell by the pound...I've seen the larger amounts bring better prices on ebay ($100 FV or more)

A shotgun roll is half a roll of anything. Correct upstate.

That was how I always understood it, rolls that were crimped like a shotgun shell.

He never said in what size rolls you know. I wonder if he is trying to find a way to make one big roll? Then as someone mentioned he would need his garage.
Imagine one roll of pennies that weighs 346 pounds.
I don't see why you just don't take them to a bank in bags and let them worry about what to do with them. Face value is all you'll get though. Still a lot better than playing around with rolling them.


Yes that would be needed if all one roll.

Hi and a Merry HO HO HO, The ordeal with the pennies We had to roll is over. I was able to persuade my Granddaughters to put them in rolls for us. We were able to get a plastic penny counter and it became easier. The process of separating pre-1982 for copper content became easier and the girls were able to identify the different coins quickly. I am happy to say that we have 2 new young collectors since they started rolling the pennies. The results were 968 rolls of pennies. 697 rolls pre 1982. 271 rolls- 1982-89. The girls kept 60 rolls to start their collections. I never realized the demand for Wheaties. We sold the pre-1982 rolls for more than copper value but if we would have separated the Wheaties from the Lincolns we could have doubled our reward. The copper/zinc sold for 1.57/roll. We are winners because we have added two young girls to our number.
