@sammelie, thanks for that, ya there logo so normal ones. There is a few marked rolls that say 50-59 I'm saving them for more sf and nsf ones that are worth saving.

Would anyone say the 53 that I posted I worth saving? Or to worn? I'm brand new to pennies and there is more errors and varieties in pennies then all other currency combined lol.

For the umpteenth time .... do not believe the prices in CoinsandCanada. And take what they call their error and variety listings as something that takes more study and info

Also should I keep all the George's? I guess just for melt value mist pennies or worth more then face value lol.

For anyone who ever buys pennies is this lot a good grab at cost price? Or do a fair amount of you get pennies from there bankes?

@okiecoiner, it's not just coins and Canada, and obviously for most coins grade is a huge part in the value. But other then the 2006 varieties worth money and the 1953-1956 I know nothing about pennies or what to bother keeping. I'm not looking for errors atm, I'm just sorting out any dates worth further inspection. If anyone wants to give me some years to keep an eye out for other then these then let me know. Iv seen plenty of 1940s a few from the 1930s once iv sorted all the Dates out then I'll start inspecting the coins more. Also my friend has a spare till drawer he is fixing the lock top for and said I can have it(going to be great to start organizing my coins

Also I don't believe the prices I just go based off them what is better to put aside, like the sf varieties say there only worth 1-7$ in ok condition. But my options are spend the next 3 months researching pennies and then look through these. Or I could have someone give me advice on years to put aside and look for. No one has given me any penny advice at all. And I am reading on pennies.

as others have stated, coins and canada site will tell you what is "rare" or not jut by looking at the assigned value (even if the prices arent accurate they will show a consistent scale)

you don't need to have someone give you advice, is all there in black and white.

if you find something that you think is of value then post here and lots of people here will give you advice

Looks like you got someones collection dump, usually if rolls are marked like that then a collector (or relative they were passed down to) will bring in rolls they dont want anymore.

Not always a bad thing though, ive gotten some good coins from collection dumps, as for which years, 1951 is a good year to keep there are two known types of doubled die on the obverse, type one being extremely hard to find and type two that I discovered (theres a link in my bio thing).

Once I'm on my computer ill give you more years to check for, I'm on a phone right now.

I have almost 2000 pennies to look through lol lots of 1940-1950, more 1950-1060, and tonz of other ones. I definitely came across some 1951s I think the oldest iv seen yet is 1937 and a few 39. I only use coins and Canada pricing to decide what coins are more rare not what the actual prices.

@johnwayn007 it's much appreciated:) I'll be able to go through all these today I just want to put aside "key" years. Then I'll probably spend the next month inspecting them all for errors, and then once iv gotten a microscope I'll go through them again probably. I'll probably put the box away for a long time after I'm done with it. Only cost 21$ for 42 rolls so not a huge dent but it did come out of my normal coin fund(now down to 40$) that I can use for CRH, I'm hoping I can sell some of these and mayb make a little bit to top up my fund.

Check ebay Sold listings for prices, Coins and Canada prices are ballpark hit and miss prices.

When you do get a microscope forsure re-check them, when I first started out I missed a few doubled dies that I caught on my second time looking through them.

Also keep an eye out for the 1985 pointed 5, that can get you around $30.00 to $40.00 or more depending on grade, although I totally regret selling mine when I first started out but I did use the funds for more coins an I'm sure ill buy one if I dont find another example, they are getting really hard to come by now.

Not all of this but a chunk of this I'd have to say is a collectors drop. There is a fair bit of the dates mentioned, I'll check them out still but put them aside for now. The 19-50-1960 roll had some earlier dates then 1940 but all the dates in between.

I also found some super light Chinese looking coin that idk what it is. So many random foreign coins in these rolls
