I like to get rolls of pennies at the bank now and then to try and fill my Whitman folders. I got six rolls at a bank in Walmart today, and three rolls were 1959-1981 copper cents, one was an uncirculated roll of 1984d and two were uncirculated shiny 1969s pennies. Yes, I was stoked when I saw what they were. I put them into a couple Whitman tubes at a friends advice, and am keeping a few for my collection, but I certainly don't need 100 of them. What should I do? Put them in flips and try to sell them on ebay, or is that overkill?  |

' Walmart' do they have anything made in America anymore? Better make sure those aren't from China  |

Even in that condition they aren't worth a whole lot. If it were me, I'd leave them in the tubes and forget about them for maybe 20 years or so. Anyway, a cool find.

LOL Aslan. Maybe I shouldn't have mentioned the bank was inside a Walmart. But maybe I will go to that bank more often, maybe that's where the " Walmart people" sell off their coin collections to buy cheap Chinese stuff. |

Thanks , Jardins and Justin. It was a cool find. I did do a quick look at all the dates under a maginfying glass looking for a doubled date, even though only 25 of them exist. Still worth checking for a potentially $25,000 coin. But sadly, no, there were no DDO in there. I'm guessing the previous collector checked off he was smart anyways. But in mint state, it is still one of the best Lincoln Memorials out there. Maybe I'll just stash them away as suggested or do a trade at my coin shop. By the way, my Coin Pro shows them at roughly 35 cents each in value, and my PCGS guide shows $15 for an MS65. While not MS65, they are all AU, like new pennies, without any marks. What do you guys think they are worth each? |

Maybe put then in flips and set them out a few at a time at the coin shop for a buck each?

The '84-D roll bids $11.
It would be a lot higher but most of them are a corroded mess.
Time don't fly, it bounds and leaps.

You have very little invested in them and they don't take up much space.....
I'd save them for a while.
Great find.
