So....I picked up this roll about 10 years ago and forgot about it. Thought it may be a prime roll of 67 pennies. Now that I look at it though, it has CIBC on the paper. Question is, should I open the roll and see what is inside? Has anyone else run across something similar? I have attached (some really horrible) pictures. Thanks in advance.    |

 Opening the old roll isn't gonna destroy in any way the value of the coins. But it's your choice to respect, but if you do POST PICS |

Well....it was a roll of 67's. My card reader is not working right now so I cannot show photos. Still not a bad deal though.

When it does work, take photos of the shiniest, least scratched ones. (:

Hey wait Cornet, if you don't open it, I'll give you $500 for it! ... oh sorry, apparently you already opened it (oh well, never mind) ...  ... just joking |

So, card reader is working and an image. The close up is typical of about half of the pennies.  Happy New Year to All! |

"pretty penny" => man, I've always loved the ol' 1967 centennial coins ... I'm glad to hear that there were some keepers in those rolls! Happy New Year!  |

Another interesting note is the word "coppers"
I haven't heard that term used in many years.
Today it is pennies or cents.
Mostly the term cents is used now.
Still Very nice Cornet
