I would search for errors and varieties as well as any high grade ones. I also would keep a few rolls unopened that have heads on one end and tails on the other. John1
I would have opened every roll, to look for blank planchets; I heard of a guy on Reddit who opened a bunch of dime rolls that were new, and he found a blank planchet. I have some newer rolls of nickels that I got at a gas station, which I will definitely open to look at.
I'd go through each roll. I've had the same experience over the years and have never regretted looking--found a blank planchet, many very visible die cracks and die chips, a few decent misaligned dies, and a nice number of MS67 or better examples. Trick is to pace yourself--don't try to examine all rolls in one sitting.
You guys have a point, I havnt took them back yet due to it being the week-end. But the hunt isn't as fun when its the same date you know what I mean ? Now I am back to being undecided.
