mail187man Valued Member United States 265 Posts	Posted 06/23/2017 8:33 pm I'm starting to go through these now. It seems like each one either has a scratch, spot or both. I'm not sure if they'd count as BU at this point. Report this Post to the Staff
spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 06/23/2017 8:50 pm Keep in mind that even BU coins will have bag marks (coin-to-coin contact) and possibly spots from planchet rinsing. It will probably be difficult to put together many "pristine" BU rolls. I would still consider them BU. Just pick the ones that have the fewest marks/spots. Or, just toss the ones that have heavy multiple marks and very distracting spots.

mail187man Valued Member United States 265 Posts	Posted 06/23/2017 9:30 pm That I actually didn't know. Just goes to show how limited my knowledge is. Well I'd say so far almost all of them are BU with bag marks. Maybe I'm thinking pristine as if they would be a high MS grade? Report this Post to the Staff
Centurion Valued Member United States 100 Posts	Posted 06/29/2017 8:58 pm I recently got 20 rolls of new bank-wrapped 2017-P cents. I plan to put them away (along with any others I get) until later in the year (perhaps Christmas vacation week off), then search these forum posts to see what errors and varieties have been found thus far. Then I will likely search the rolls and then recycle them back into circulation while I await the 2018s. That's my plan anyway (unless I get bored between now and then). Report this Post to the Staff

I would venture to say that BU rolled coins like you have generally fall into the MS62-64 range. Those with very few marks/spots can go higher. That's why coin values jump dramatically over that. The likelihood that a coin meant for circulation will escape the dings and spots associated with more common BU coins is low.

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 06/30/2017 05:20 am Here is what I do. I put them in three categories, as to how many imperfections they have. After I am done I put the best in 2x2's, the 2nd tier in either plastic tubes or new paper ones. And the last tier gets put back into circulation. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
