So I bought a few boxes of pennys to hunt and 1 full and part of another were uncirculated. I know ppl like to hunt for errors on these. What you guys think?   |

Looks like you have your work cut out. I agree, go through them and set aside the very best. Also look for issues which have sprung up with the 2018 D. Or, list them on ebay. |

I don't have the patience (or the eye strength!) for searching new rolls any more, but good luck!  to the CCF! |

See what the errors are worth, and decide if the effort to find them is worth the bother.

I would probably not go through them.

If they are a sealed box of cents from the same batch. After about 5 rolls you will see if they are normal ones or if there are some variety coin in them. Normal ones, send back the wrapped rolls to bank.

I fetch a box from key bank here in alaska here and there. Best luck with pennys. Circulation is pretty slow here so if I see anything new it takes the batch a while to travel far. And proly not much collectors around.

yes, I'm my opinion, I'd say randomly pull 5 rolls from different places in the box, and get a good feel for the die pairs that will likely be represented. Sometimes you can hit an error or clash or a Cud, and if it's there there will be more. It's a good way to sample the box, without driving yourself crazy looking at everything. just a sample from around the box and see if anything turns up. |
