In the past I collected mainly single coins - either from circulation or via purchase. Now I've started to buy entire rolls. As an example, I recently acquired an entire roll of UNC 1943D steel pennies. I've looked through each one carefully and would say that out of the 50, possibly 3 are in MS63+. The rest are all solid AU-50. My question is, from a 'buy and hold' perspective, is it better to separate out the 3 MS and have them graded (and slabbed) or keep the entire roll intact. I'm looking at this from a 30 yr perspective, not a 'buy and sell on ebay' perspective. Any insights are welcome! Report this Post to the Staff

IMO, you're better off keeping them as a roll. On another note, make sure you store those rolls properly! I've opened a lot of rolls only to find junk inside due to poor storage. Lincoln Cent Lover!

Put those MS lincolns in them 2. Wait 29 years 3. See where you are then, what the value of your lincolns is and then decide whether to have them slabbed Report this Post to the Staff
