around the top of the bank bag is a rope type sealer with the date and time
(Oct 21 1982 I think 1142 am) and its a $50 worth of rolled pennies. Should I open them and check each penny or leave them as rolls

I'd open and check them personally, but be sure you've studied up and know what to look for.
Rest in Peace

I imagine these are loose in the bag and not in paper/wrapped rolls correct? If so these are as issued from the mint at that time and date. If Philadelphia or Denver. All Would be of MS grade coins, depending on just how this bag has been handled over the years will determine the actual status of these. If it was banged around a lot(as normally is in transit) they will exhibit "Bag marks", these are the normal coin-coin contact that happens in close quarters containment. The less marks the better. If you desire to search for errors/doubled dies, please learn HOW TO HANDLE RAW COINS! Otherwise, just leave them be. Selling is an option, but the market may not be the best now.

The coins in the bag are wrapped I looked at one coin head that has a 1982 no mint mark must be plain.So I guess they are all the same rolls.Thank for the reply. I can not find on a search what month the zinc started

I did find the different weights of the copper and zinc but I don't have a scale yet.

I'd open them and search the rolls.
Just because I rull has a 1982 on the end doesn't mean they're all 1982's.
If they're customer wrapped rolls, who knows what goodies could be hiding in there.

I believe After a certain year the bank bags consisted of BU bank wrapped rolls . You can tell if they are copper or zinc by the weight of the roll In Hand compared to a roll of known copper Cents . Then just see if they are large date or small date . You'll be hoping for 1982 -P small date copper , Value : $15-$30 a roll . But Oct.21 tells me they are probably zinc .

To CCF! You can do whatever you want with the bank bag. You can etheir open it or keep it sealed. Another possibility is you can try selling it on ebay if you don't want it.

I'd open it. Become a coin roll hunter. At least you'll know for sure what treasures may lay in wait.

I remember 1982 so very well. The stories where out in the coin magazines about the switch-over to zinc. I spent the first-half of that year collecting every single 1982 small date I could find, and was ordering rolls from the local bank as I knew they were still copper and figure they'd be worth money some day.

If what you have is zinc, expect to find zinc rot in some of those rolls. Some of my 1982 zincs have rot and nearly all of my 1983's have rot. Only way for you to know is to open and pluck out the good ones. Think of it as a preservation effort.
