All those shiny pennies makes it hard to spend them or turn them back in, but unless you intend to keep them for about 50 years they won't be worth anything more than face. Keep one or two rolls and turn the rest back in.

There's also the possibility to find a blank planchet. That's always a neat find.

I have went though all of them but 2 dollars worth I kept the ones that had little to no scratches on them... (then my 2 year old decided he needed to take them off my desk. I hope he didn't scratch them up.

You may be the lucky one. I keep asking at banks around me for any new ooin rolls. All they tell me is all rolls they get are mixed. Out of almost every roll lately of Cents, I don't even get one 2011 coin. You must be getting all mine.

I'm almost finished searching 5000 2011D. I have about 4 rolls to go. My conclusion is that Denver does a great job. I've kept a total of 3 hoping to find matches. Wishing I had some Phillys to look through.
A blank is possible and easy to spot. The captian is correct about saving a couple rolls (heads/tails only and packaged nicely) and searching for the gems. You want good strike, zero nicks and spots. That should get you close to MS67. Anything less throw it back. These will actually be hard to find.
Have fun!

i was looking on the PCGS pricing guide and the MS-67 that they had imaged had 2 or 3 little scratches on them. I will look at mine again tonight and make sure my son didnt destroy them then I will post them on here so see what everyone thinks.

If it's just $10 store them away and use them to trade. I like to collect pennies by the roll, so I'm sure there are others out there too. While you won't get rich, you could probably get $2 a roll maybe $3 with the right buyer in a year or two or more. Sure it doesn't sound like much only getting $20-$30 over the course of a few years, but it's a heck of alot more than what it would make sitting in a bank account, right?

That did come though my mind. but then I had to open them up to see if there was anything special in there.

I had the same experience. I received a box from my bank (BoA) a few weeks back. It was a "closed" mint box (i.e., no holes to verify rolls) so I couldn't see the ends. Upon opening the box, they were all shiny new rolls of 2011 shields. Neat, but no copper or chances for cool finds. I'm going to keep 5-10 rolls and dump the rest. Or you could try to get a $15 markup like this guy: http://www.ebay.com/itm/50-rolls-bo...em27bcac742b |

I sold a lot on ebay at good premiums. It was easy to under cut everyone and still do good. Sometimes it was just plain stupid money but hey... But it's fizzied out for the most part. Tough to pay fees and still make a little. |
