Thanks everyone for participating...it's been a lot of fun!
Even though they didn't get as specific as I would hoped, we do have a WINNER of the BU Fed Wrapped 26 year old ROLL! Only one person guessed the correct year and mint of 1982D and it is copper so it's large date!Congrats to: TNWALKER10!I am not sure what lies in the rolls but I did some checking and these rolls are selling for about $7 per roll with shipping on ebay (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...B:EF:US:1123) and Heritage Auctions have sold graded examples recently of MS66 for $15, MS67 for $35 - $51, and MS68 for $1092.50!
For those of you interested I think rather than selling them on ebay I will be selling some of these on the Items for Sale board for those of you wishing to try to find so undiscovered treasure or to keep the roll intact! I'll put an ad up tonight so watch for it and they won't be $7!_____________________________________________________________________  I am pretty stoked about my find today! I was visiting an old friend today that I haven't seen in some time and I was telling him about me collecting coins. He started smiling and told me he had a box of old pennies downstairs under his desk. So I worked a deal with him on them once I saw what they were: The box contained 103 BU Rolls of Lincoln Memorial Cents of which 96 have NEVER Been UNWRAPPED Ever!   REVISED BIGGER BETTER CONTEST! PLEASE RE-READ BELOW! To share in my good fortune, I am giving ALL Winners one Brand NEW BU ROLL of the 96 ROLL Variety!  All you have to do is guess what the 96 BU ROLLS ARE! Only catch is be specific: For example: If you guess 1909 and it's a box of 96 rolls of 1909-S VDBs, the 1909 guess won't win it for you.  Can't get much simpler than that! Rules are: - One NOW TWO guess Per person, please modify your original post. - Winner will be the first person that guessed the correct Cent, so be careful not to duplicate! ALL CORRECT GUESSERS GET A ROLL - Contest ends on 1/13 @ NOON EST, identify the winner(s)! I posted the box below opened on Page 4 *Had to change the end time since I forgot that I will be out of town at a wedding on Saturday and got in really late and probably won't be up until NOON!Here is your only clue:  Good Luck and umm.... GO!  Edited by Nelrak

I'll think about that...might extend it and list the first round wrong guesses and let everyone have another stab at it.

I've cleaned up my post--and this is my final answer  1972-P (Philadelphia) quote:
I guess that everyone can modify their original post if they want and put two guess on that post.
Ok...I'll take you up on that! 1974-SEdited by KurtS
